Today, Geoffroy announces the deluxe version of his colourful 2024 LP Good Boy. Arriving September 13, the expanded LP features three previously unreleased tracks including single “No Calls Before Noon”.
The LP features reimagined artwork by LA artist Old Sweaty, and was digitally retracklisted by Geoffroy to highlight his favourite tracks, to create a new listening experience that adds depth and weight to the original product.
“No Calls Before Noon” is accompanied by a beautiful Alex Dozois-directed video, shot with Geoffroy over a month in Vietnam and Thailand. The visual captures the mood of the song masterfully, a romantic melancholy that’s been at Geoffroy’s side since childhood.
“I've always been drawn to new destinations and meeting new people, homesickness has been a familiar companion,” Geoffroy explains. “‘No Calls Before Noon’ captures the feeling of complete belonging that strikes when you're travelling in a foreign place, yet somehow it feels like home. It's about that moment when you realise you're exactly where you're meant to be - in time and space.”

MORE ABOUT GEOFFROY + GOOD BOY
Geoffroy is an essential and emerging voice in Canadian music. Now three LPs into a career that has solidified him as one of Quebec’s best artists, the Montreal-born songwriter and producer takes the next step internationally with the release of fourth full-length Good Boy.
Almost 10 years removed from his first release, this project was sparked with the intention of creating Geoffroy’s most authentic work to date, blending organic instrumentation and electronic elements into a bright and rich album filled with diverse sounds, a collection of songs that moves beyond the brooding depth that has defined recent works.
Each past album that Geoffroy has released reflected a different tone and period in the artist’s life and his evolution and experimentation with different sonic palettes. In this case, Good Boy sees Geoffroy look back and collaborate with longtime production partners Clément Leduc and Gabriel Gagnon, but also incorporate a diverse collection of new background musicians and singers that brings the album to life in vibrant colour.
That diversity was driven by a gradual shift in Geoffroy’s influences, having spent recent years immersing himself in the worlds of cumbiamusic and a range of other latin and african rhythmic styles, that melded with his traditional singer-songwriter form to create something that feels truly international.
In fact the record’s narrative was inspired by a trip to Mexico where he befriended - and ultimately adopted - a shelter dog named Papi, bringing him from the streets of Mexico City to Montreal. Papi serves as the mascot for the LP, but more importantly acts as an overarching metaphor for being lost, but ultimately found.
Asked to reflect on the change in perspective that accompanied the transition from his previous musical era into this one, Geoffroy spoke to the clarity he experienced in terms of his own agenda in the creation of music.
“Live Slow Die Wise had a slower pace and I was eager to step away from the nostalgia and melancholy I had visited and analyzed plenty in the past,” Geoffroy reflects. “I did what felt natural, a feel-good album (I think) that shed the weight of the other ones. I feel I’m getting closer to the sound I’m looking for, though I might be chasing something that’s faster than me.”
