(2022) Julie Doiron & Dany Placard - Julie & Dany  



Review:
Julie and Dany welcomed us into their daily lives, at their creative hub, for a drink in their kitchen while they play us a tune. These songs are born from the complicity that enlightens the couple’s everyday lives: They treasure the magic of tiny details, a pure existence stripped of pomp and extravagance. Julie Doiron is a highly decorated singer-songwriter. She has won many awards, notably for Woke Myself Up, shortlisted for the Polaris Prize in 2007. Dany Placard is as much a creative singer-songwriter as he is a prolific producer. Julie et Dany is the union of two exceptional artists. Their collaboration embodies humility and authenticity. Julie Doiron and Dany Placard have release a new collaborative album titled Julie & Dany. The couple are teasing the record by sharing the new song “Mayo” alongside a music video by Sylvain Dumais. “‘Mayo’ is a day like many days in our little house in New Brunswick,” said Doiron in a statement. “And while it seems we are just singing of things like mayonnaise and carrots, we are mostly singing of the ups and downs and all the moments in between.” Spanning 11 tracks in total, Julie & Dany was written and recorded between Doiron and Placard’s homes in Quebec and New Brunswick during Canada’s mandatory stay-at-home orders. The real-life couple wanted to capture their love and desire to be with one another while enduring the monotony of pandemic life. Doiron’s last album, I Thought of You, came out in 2021. And, in 2019, she released a collaborative LP with Mount Eerie called Lost Wisdom Pt. 2, a sequel to their 2008 record Lost Wisdom.
