Milk & Bone’s sonic universe distinguishes itself from the electro-pop genre thanks to their perfectly-paired vocal colours. Their mesmerizing harmonies explore the darker aspects of love, friendship and lust. Their tightly-knit bond, palpable in their creative process and throughout the album, is a key part of their live shows.
Milk & Bone (musicians Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin) released their debut album, Little Mourning, in March 2015. Recipients of the 2015 SOCAN Breakout Award, the duo’s entrancing, electro-pop vocal harmonies have since captivated audiences here and abroad, filling several major venues in Quebec, Europe and in the United States.
Little Mourning earned the duo a place on the 2015 Polaris Music Prize Long List, a 2016 Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Group of the Year, and three GAMIQ awards in 2015. Before embarking on the songwriting journey for their second album, Milk & Bone composed the soundtrack for Podz’ feature film King Dave. The film’s theme song Natalie was then nominated for Achievement in Music (Original Song) at the 2017 Canadian Screen Awards, and was streamed more than 4.6 million times on Spotify in addition to being featured on Riverdale (The CW / Netflix).
To the delight of fans and music lovers, Milk & Bone released their second album, Deception Bay, on February 2, 2018. It won the duo the 2019 Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year and was long-listed for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize. The album’s tour included hundreds of shows, and was rewarded at the 2019 ADISQ Gala for Anglophone Show of the Year. Milk & Bone songs have also been featured in several advertising campaigns, including for Dior.
In the spring of 2019, Milk & Bone released DIVE. The EP, made in collaboration with producer Alex Lustig, won the 2019 GAMIQ for Pop EP of the Year. For a second time in their career, the Montrealers wrote the score for a film directed by Podz, named Mafia Inc. In that same year, they worked on the soundtrack for two original shows produced by Cirque du Soleil, Cosmos and Exentricks, which have been performed on the MSC Grandiosa cruise ship since November 2019.
