L' Échec du Matériel shows a more reserved Daniel Bélanger gracefully expanding his musical palette with sampling, sweeping arrangements and electronic instruments, but this time blending his experimental side seamlessly with his traditional Quebec folk side.

For those who adored his first two albums and those who enjoyed his dabbling in electronic music -- L' Échec du Matériel marks a true return to his folk roots, although he still can't resist the urge to experiment. On "Amusements," multiple sports-related samples (such as ping-pong balls and basketballs) are used to create a mesmerising Wall of Sound behind a singular piano performance. Every song has a rich arrangement and the production is pristine, but it is how the album subtly shifts from aggressive to subdued on numerous occasions that shows how Bélanger is becoming more adept at exploring new musical ideas within the confines of folk-rock music.
