About

Lysandre doesn't just sing; she conjures worlds. The Montreal-based artist, born Lysandre Ménard, wields a voice that's both ethereal and grounded, navigating the sonic landscapes of dream-pop, indie folk, and a touch of avant-garde electronica. It’s a blend reminiscent of early Cocteau Twins meeting modern artists like Grouper and Julia Holter. Ménard’s journey began with classical training, evident in the meticulous arrangements and harmonic complexities woven into her music. Her self-titled debut album showcased her singular vision, earning critical acclaim for its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics often exploring themes of memory, nature, and the subconscious. Live performances, often incorporating visual projections and experimental instrumentation, solidified her reputation as an artist pushing creative boundaries. Collaborations with other Montreal artists have further expanded her sonic palette, while solo work continues to delve into deeper, more textured territories. Notably, her commitment to atmospheric compositions, combined with intensely personal lyrical content, establishes her as a singular and compelling voice in contemporary Canadian music. Lysandre's recent projects showcase her continued exploration of soundscapes and introspection, proving she's an artist committed to growth and innovation, setting her apart from the mainstream.
