Formed in Canada, by two music producers (David Rancourt-vocals, Antoine Rochette-synths/bass), the band released their first EP titled “One Lands” in 2017. While it was a completely independent release, it was able to garner some local buzz for the band as well as a sold out release show at the PHI Centre in Montreal that August. This year they signed to UK based label Pond Life (created by the founder of Talk Talk) and with the current world situation found Rancourt directly addressing his grief as a temporary location from which one is held within and longing to break free from. “I was struggling to get out of the stages of grief and depression,” he states. “I envisioned Melancholia as this physical place that’s sucking you in. Melodically, we were writing it as a ‘60s pop song. I like the contrast between the poppiness of the melody and the mood I was in.”
