For several years they toured, both solo and together, as choir members before they decided to team up as a duo. After this decision, things took off quickly with an EP in February 2012 and winning awards at the Francouvertes.
Since then they have performed at various festivals and won other prestigious awards, like the "best new artist" at the GAMIQ's.
Their album, "Le Poids des Confettis", was released in March of 2013 and quickly gained popularity and awards, including "Revelation of the year" and "Best folk album" along with several other nominations.

Ça
Les soeurs Boulay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Même si tu m l'as caché
J'me dis qu'le mal est faite
Ça sert à rien d'pleurer
C'est pas ça qui m'arrête
Tu peux garder ta clef
T'as craqué l'allumette
Mais l'cœur est resté
Touche à mon âme
Reviens en moi
Je suis sans âme
Et je te crois
Tu peux garder tes "non"
Emmène-moi boire un verre
J'vas serrer les couteaux
On s'couchera en cuillère
C'est pas ça qui m'arrête
Mais dis-le pas trop fort
Y m'reste une allumette
J'aurai pas peur du noir
J'aurai pas peur du noir
Touche à mon âme
Reviens en moi
Je suis sans âme
Et je te crois
Touche à mon âme
Et aime-moi
Je suis sans âme
Et je te crois
The lyrics to "Ça" by Les sœurs Boulay depict a tumultuous relationship where one person has been hurt and betrayed, but is still willing to forgive and believe in the other person. The song begins with the singer expressing that what worries them is not the actions that have been hidden from them, but rather the fact that the damage has already been done and there is no point in crying over it. They acknowledge that the heartache is inevitable and cannot be undone.
The second verse continues with the singer saying that nothing can stop them, even though the other person may keep their key (symbolizing their control over the relationship). The line "T'as craqué l'allumette, la maison a brûlé, mais l'cœur est resté" (You lit the match, the house burned, but the heart remained) suggests that despite the destructive nature of the relationship, the love and connection between the two still remains.
As the chorus repeats throughout the song, it emphasizes the plea for the other person to touch their soul, come back, and believe in them. The line "Je suis sans âme et je te crois" (I am soulless and I believe in you) shows the depth of trust and vulnerability the singer feels, even after everything that has transpired. They are willing to let go of their pride and confront the pain, symbolized by the line "J'vas serrer les couteaux, on s'couchera en cuillère" (I will clutch the knives, we will sleep spooning).
In the final verse, the singer admits that while they may not be able to fully overcome the hurt, they still hold onto a spark of hope, represented by the remaining match. They declare that they will not be afraid of the darkness or the unknown.
Overall, "Ça" portrays the complex emotions involved in a damaged relationship, where forgiveness and belief coexist with pain and vulnerability.
