Formed by Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin (both accomplished studio and touring musicians), Milk & Bone will release their debut album, Little Mourning, on March 17th in Canada via Bonsound. By combining their voices and talents, the two friends create electro-pop melodies that are both dreamy and harrowing. Having already charmed the blogosphere and international media last year with two singles (New York and Coconut Water), the Montreal-based duo now shares the song Pressure. Stream it on Soundcloud.
The Montreal launch show will take place at the PHI Centre on March 17th, 6pm. Lafond-Beaulne and Poliquin will perform alone on stage with their instruments in what promises to be a seductive, intimate and emotionally-charged set.
Milk & Bone’s tightly-knit bond, palpable in concert and throughout the album, is a key part of their creative process. Lafond-Beaulne and Poliquin wrote in tandem, and their eight songs took shape once they arrived in studio with the help of producer Gabriel Gagnon, who also took part in the mixing, programming and the arrangements.
Made up of electronic textures and layered synths, Lafond-Beaulne and Poliquin’s sonic universe distinguishes itself from the electro-pop genre thanks to their perfectly-paired vocal colours. Their mesmerizing harmonies look into the darker aspects of love, friendship and lust.
