History
The Boulay sisters released their full-length debut album, Le poids des confettis, on Grosse Boîte in early 2013.[1] Their song "Mappemonde" was a shortlisted nominee for the 2013 SOCAN Songwriting Prize, and the album was a longlisted nominee for the 2013 Polaris Music Prize.[2] That year the pair were nominated for GAMIQ awards in seven categories.[3]
The duo toured around Quebec in support of their album, singing and playing guitar and ukulele.[4]
They released the follow-up 4488 de l'amour in October 2015. The title track received airplay on east coast radio stations.[5] They continued touring, but in larger venues as their fan base grew.[6]
In late 2017, the sisters took a break from touring because of Mélanie's pregnancy.[7]
