Formed by Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin, Milk & Bone released their debut album, Little Mourning, in March 2015, in Canada, via Bonsound. By combining their voices and talents, the two friends create electro-pop melodies that are both dreamy and harrowing.
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, the duo’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.
Both studio and touring musicians (Alex Nevsky, Karim Ouellet, Les soeurs Boulay, etc.), Poliquin and Lafond-Beaulne began to write songs together after collaborating on Misteur Valaire’s album Bellevue Avenue, Milk & Bone was officially named and born. During the summer of 2014, the duo released two singles, “New York” and “Coconut Water,” which were very well received within the blogosphere. Their third single, “Pressure,” has over 1.9 million listens on Soundcloud.
