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.
Montreal’s Milk & Bone (Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin) create melodies that are both dreamy and harrowing. 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 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.

C’est un album collant, un album qui reste, qu’on a envie de réécouter.
Stéphane Leclair, ICI Première
Avec son plus récent disque Deception Bay, […] Milk & Bone continuera certainement d’être un des fiers porte-drapeaux du talent d’ici à l’international.
Le Devoir
ce deuxième album du duo montréalais reste dans sa zone électropop de prédilection, tout en flirtant remarquablement avec le R&B alternatif, la ballade et le future garage.
