After the release of Escalader l'ivresse, the last 2 years have been punctuated by shows, remixes, collaborations (Bran Van 3000, All Nino) and two motion soundtracks ("Le Baiser du Barbu" & "Tromper le silence"). Alexandre now presents La Garde, a more grounded, luminous, groove contagious soul album!

With La Garde, the singer-songwriter does it again by taking on the challenge and siding with creativity. A gifted and inventive melodist, he plays around with various genres, hitting right on target. Surrounded by musical director Jean Massicotte (Lhasa, Arthur H, Patrick Watson), writer Mathieu Leclerc (The Last Assassins) and his musicians, Alexandre takes us from one surprise to the other, dodging easy comparisons. One is carried from organic rhythms, to vinyl crackles, to retro-futuristic settings without ever losing focus! Amidst renewal and continuity, after an acclaimed first album, La Garde is first and foremost an affirmation of Alexandre's talent and unquenchable pleasure for daring musical arrangements, strong melodies and words that move.

Distinct and unique showman, Alexandre leads us, along with his musicians, into a world in which each composition takes on a whole new dimension, leaving us… intoxicated for a long time!
