Bibi Club, the Montreal-based indie pop duo of Adèle Trottier-Rivard and Nicolas Basque, has been carving out distinct vibrations since their formation in the late 2010s, operating in the midst of the direct action and sonic intimacy that has defined their creative process from the very beginning. As they have continued to work together, however, Bibi Club and their artistic partnership have evolved tremendously, with their forthcoming release, Amaro, serving as undeniable evidence of that fact.

As young musicians, Adèle and Nicolas shared remarkably similar backgrounds. Both grew up in Montreal, earning their musical chops playing classic rock with local bands. Both, moreover, were later trained in jazz. They studied music in school, and both fell in love, at the time, with the arts of both composition and improvisation. This led Nicolas into the Canadian indie-rock band Plants and Animals, while it led Adèle into a singing career of her own.

The pair met when Adèle joined Plants and Animals on tour as a vocalist, and they quickly realised they had shared musical affinities. Although they were each committed to their work with Plants and Animals, they had also begun developing musical ideas independently, finding a mutual outlet for these creations through their budding friendship.
