Thibault - Or Not Thibault

Or Not Thibault is the debut studio album by Australian indie rock musician Nicole Thibault, released in September 2020 via Chapter Music.

Thibault is the long-awaited new project for Melbourne, Australia musician Nicole Thibault.

Her drily-titled debut album Or Not Thibault is full of harmonic invention, unexpected arrangements, and atmospheres so lush they make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It moves seamlessly from humour to genuine pathos, from spacious mystery to kinetic energy.

Nicole took time off in the late 2000s to raise a family, but recently returned to music with the support of a new generation of Melbourne pop kids. Or Not Thibault includes contributions from Zak Olsen (Orb, Traffik Island), Bec Liston (Parsnip), Lachlan Denton (The Ocean Party) as well as Minimum Chips co-conspirator Julian Patterson. The live Thibault band currently features Zak, Bec and Stella Rennex (Parsnip).

The album’s dreamy space-age pop feel has been beautifully captured by producer James Cecil (The Goon Sax, Architecture In Helsinki).

This album is a limited edition on pink and black coloured vinyl with a printed inner sleeve, pressed in Australia via Chapter Music.
