New single honors tour manager

The French music duo Gwendoline has released a new single titled Régis, which is dedicated to their tour manager. The song acknowledges the long hours and challenges of touring, reflecting on the exhaustion of constant travel and performances.

Third album on the way

Gwendoline’s third album, Ni fait ni à faire, is set to release on February 5. It will be released through their record label, Born Bad Records, continuing their musical journey since their earlier work C’est à moi ça from two years ago.

Lyrics reflect on touring life

The lyrics of Régis include lines that highlight the fatigue of touring, such as references to waking up after fifteen hours and the emotional toll of performing for small audiences. These lines are consistent with the band’s signature style of blending spoken word with musical elements.

Creative process in Brittany

Pierre Barrett and Mickaël Olivette, the thirty-somethings behind Gwendoline, retreated to their native Brittany to create Ni fait ni à faire. They isolated in areas like Brest, Ouessant, and Douarnenez, staying true to their artistic style known as shlagwave.

Music video captures tour life

The music video for Régis was directed by Aloïs Lecerf, a Breton graphic designer and videographer known for his work with the band. The video humorously documents the group’s experiences on tour, showcasing the realities of their lifestyle.

Upcoming concert and release

Gwendoline will perform at La Maroquinerie in Paris on February 25, 2027, to celebrate the release of Ni fait ni à faire. The album will be available on February 5 through Born Bad Records and L’Autre Distribution.
