Today the Montreal trio Bye Parula have unveiled the music video for “Quand vient le soir,” the third single from their upcoming debut album Something Out of Nothing, set for release on June 5, 2026 via Secret City Records.
The track leans into a moody, atmospheric strain of indie rock—lush yet restrained, with a slow-burning intensity that lingers long after it fades.
About the track by the band:
“Quand vient le soir” thus reveals itself as “a nostalgic love song,” says Calatayud-Sola.
“It feels like a letter you’d write to someone you once loved but never send—the kind of message that only feels right for a couple of minutes at night, maybe after a drink or a high, just before sleep,” he explains further.
“My native language is French, even though I never really listened to music in French.
But when I moved to Quebec, I felt it was important to try singing in that language. — I listened to older French singers, but I never listened to contemporary pop in French.
Then I discovered Karkwa; to me, it was kind of like Grizzly Bear in French.
And I thought to myself: ‘Wow, it’s crazy that this exists!
OK, I could listen to this.’ My perspective started to change—I heard Klô Pelgag and lots of other awesome projects that really inspired me.
So for this song, I thought to myself, ‘OK, I think I have something that makes sense and works in French, and it would be great to have that kind of Air/Gainsbourg vibe.’”
