About

oui merci is the Montreal-based indie pop duo that feels like a warm hug on a cold winter night—intimate, comforting, and effortlessly cool. Composed of childhood friends Alex Burger and Maxime Sénéchal, the pair crafts dreamy, lo-fi soundscapes that blend jangly guitars, shimmering synths, and introspective lyrics. Their music is a melting pot of influences, from the hazy nostalgia of 80s new wave to the raw emotionality of modern bedroom pop, creating a sound that feels both timeless and refreshingly contemporary. Since their formation in 2017, oui merci has steadily risen through the ranks of Canada’s indie scene, earning acclaim for their debut EP *Beaucoup* and its follow-up *Tout le monde*. Their breakout single "Ciel" became a viral hit, capturing the hearts of listeners with its ethereal melodies and poetic storytelling. Known for their DIY ethos, the duo often self-produces their music, adding a layer of authenticity that resonates deeply with their growing fanbase. oui merci’s cultural impact lies in their ability to turn personal introspection into universal anthems. Their lyrics, sung in both French and English, explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, bridging linguistic and cultural divides. Collaborations with artists like Men I Trust and Half Moon Run have further cemented their reputation as innovators in the indie pop space. Currently, oui merci is working on their highly anticipated debut album, teasing fans with snippets of new material on social media. With their signature blend of vulnerability and charm, the duo continues to redefine what it means to make music that feels like home.
