Dans la seconde is the fifth full-length studio album by Karkwa, released September 8, 2023, on Simone Records.[1] It was the band's first album of new material since 2010's Les Chemins de verre.[2]
The album was preceded by the preview single "Parfaite à l'écran", whose music video featured actress Pascale Bussières.[3]
Bruno Coulombe of Exclaim! rated the album eight out of ten, writing that it was strongly influenced by the intervening solo work of lead singer Louis-Jean Cormier and percussionist Julien Sagot rather than feeling like a strict continuation of Karkwa's earlier albums.[4]
Alexandre Vigneault of La Presse rated the album nine out of ten, praising it as containing some of the most evocative and tender songs the band had ever recorded.[5]
The album was a Juno Award nominee for Francophone Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2024,[6] and was a longlisted nominee for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize.[7]
