En route, boys is a Canadian an instrumental trio formed by Alexandre Gariépy, Marc-Antoine McMullen, and Clément Desjardins. The project offers a distinctly Quebecois interpretation of Cosmic American music, blending jazz-ambient, new-age, and soundscape-driven approaches, where texture, space, and motion take precedence over traditional song structures.
Their self titled album is being release today via Groupe Fovéa.
The band’s name is a deliberate nod to Hunter S. Thompson’s magnum opus, Hell’s Angels, and reflects a desire to align the project with the legacy of North American counterculture, using the road itself as a creative force. Detours, open landscapes, ellipses, and the idea of perpetual return shape the trio’s musical language.
Balancing modernity and heritage, the compositions unfold slowly, driven by modular synthesizers, the breathy presence of the saxophone, and delay-soaked electric guitars, shifting between raw experimentation and contemplative atmospheres. Immersive and cinematic, the music feels like a glance in the rearview mirror—moving forward along an endless road.
