Album lore

Depuis, issued in April 2022 on the Montreal imprint Chivi Chivi, marks a notable entry in the lineage of indie québécois and chanson québécoise. Lydia Képinski’s eleventh-track album unfolds over eleven pieces, including the featured “Vaslaw.” The record’s textured arrangements and candid lyricism reflect a keen engagement with pop québécoise traditions, filtered through a contemporary indie lens. With a modest but dedicated listenership documented on Last.fm, Depuis commands attention for its articulate blend of local vernacular and melodic craft. Tracks like “MTL me déteste” and “La saison des huîtres” anchor the album in a distinctly regional milieu, while Képinski’s voice carries a clarity that invites repeated spins from crate-diggers attuned to Québec’s evolving chanson canon.
