Salomé Leclerc undeniably found her path while exploring Les choses extérieures, by far the most conclusive recording of a career still in its early stages. Echoes of the concerts that followed were mostly enyhusiastic, and the cycle is not yet over. This abundantly talented lyricist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, director and performer, certainly one of the dominant figures in French-speaking North America at the turn of this decade, needs to be seen live. You’ll have to get off the couch to appreciate the more robust live versions of her excellent album’s tunes, to which are added her best works of earlier vintage. A must, without a doubt.
