Pretty/sad love songs. Inspired by late nights and heart breaks, walks of shame, and shameless flirting, reckless abandon, dreamy bedroom moping, hairbrush singing and starry eyed infatuation.
Hibou’s music is for anyone who has ever seen the inside of a dark bar at last call or have ever felt like the Smiths or Metric were writing songs just for them.
Singer Tracey Adams-Thibaudeau’s voice is a warm gun polished with gin and tears. Her songwriting, at once both cynical and sweet, makes you feel as if her performance is extracting secrets from your inner 12-year-old’s diary and whispering them into the ear of your burned-out, 9-to-5 commuter. On Hibou’s first album, ‘Today’s Vices’, Adams-Thibaudeau’s musical partner, Sergio Abegao pulls the tones from her voice with his pants-throbbing guitar, heart-widowing beats and BFF back-up vocals, as well as being the production genius behind all their musical arrangements.
First thrown together through a comedy of hipster nepotism in Toronto’s west end, it was only after their romantic relationship had cooled off that their true alchemy could start to develop. Since they formed Hibou in 2004, they have been steady climbers in the Toronto indie music scene, having performed as live featured guests on radio stations CIUT and CKLU as well as playing to sold-out crowds at numerous Toronto venues, including The Drake Hotel, The Gladstone, and as part of Lady-Fest and Toronto Pride. Recently, their ascent passed a milestone when they accepted an invitation to perform at The Ultra Music Festival in Miami, Florida as one of a very small handful of live performers amidst the massive, legendary dance music festival.
“Hibou’s music is visceral and consuming,” says Adams-Thibaudeau. “It’s the perfect fusion of pretty and sad. It transcribes itself as goose bumps on your skin and demands to be played on repeat in your head."
