Description
Multidisciplinarity is an integral part of the creative process of Annie-Claude Deschênes, who continues her perpetual personal quest of uniting music and performance art by bending the pre-established conventions of stage presence.
A key figure in the Montreal independent music scene for twenty years, she made her mark as a frontwoman, singer, musician, songwriter, performer, and visual artist with cult bands Duchess Says and PyPy. Annie-Claude’s exploratory approach to staging and sound design takes a new direction with the genesis of her solo project: the urgency and intensity that characterises her work remains, but sheer aggression gives way to cool, dystopian disco vibes.
Inspired by minimal pop and the pioneers of electronic music, her first solo album released in 2024, is as danceable and melodic as it is disquieting. In April 2025, she released “Main de Fer,” a single that showcases a new & unique direction in her artistic approach.
