Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin never set out to make music for people to listen to. They wanted to make music for themselves. It just so happens that the music they created to cope with hard breakups and lost loves was also incredibly relatable.

00:02I feel like we never created music for people to listen to. We created music for
00:07us to feel better about what it was that we were going through at that moment.
00:12And it's very touching to know that people can relate to it, but the purpose
00:19of it in the beginning was just to cope.
00:33We're from Montreal both, both from Montreal. It gets really cold. I write a lot during
00:39the winter because you're kind of stuck in your house and there's not much light and
00:43you kind of get depressed because you need light and you need warmth. We talk a lot about
00:48love stories that ended really bad or love stories that never happened. So for that, Montreal
00:55is great. It's very inspiring in the winter.
01:07That one works. Where to go? 13 left to go.
01:11Usually we start from a simple idea. Like let's say sometimes there's just like a feeling that
01:17we want to work with. We just write down a bunch of words that we want to use or that
01:23we want to build a whole universe around the song and like make it something that exists.
01:27The more we do it, the more we don't even have to talk anymore to plan how we're going
01:34to do it, it just happens. We're two friends making music together and obviously it's going
01:55to have a female point of view because that's the point of view that we have so I think it's
01:59easy to relate to for other girls and women.
02:02You'll never say you like me. I'll never be your friend.
02:14I'll never say you like me. I'll never say you like me. I'll never say you like me.
02:20I'll never say you like me. I'll never say you like me. I'll never say you like me.
02:24Hello girls. I'm Will. I'm just going to move to Toronto. I'm going to show you a good
02:28route. We'll be right back to the room. I think we'll have a whole show tonight.
02:31See you later. Bye bye.
02:41That's how we leave the stage.
02:43When I listened to the first demos, I really felt that the bass of the songs were really
02:50strong, really deep and you could see the mark of the girls in their music. And when
02:55the new elements of the songs were added, I could see really the atmosphere and the vibe
03:00the girls were going to put on it. It was really impressive for us. And on a human standpoint,
03:05they're just so fun to be around. And I feel like we have a small family working together.
03:12I'm ready when you're ready.
03:26It's a weird thing to think. You write a song because you feel something, but then everybody
03:33hears it. And then you sing it live in front of many people and it's so personal. We never
03:39thought the band would work that well. So mostly we're very, very grateful of where we are
03:46right now.
03:47It feels so good to be able to not only say it out loud, but say it out loud to
03:55people
03:55who don't know us and to say it out loud to like broad audiences. If people don't connect
04:01to it, it was still important for us to write that song. The creative process is also a way
04:05to deal with what's going on. So that's where every song comes from, I think.
04:10We'll see you next time.
04:10Bye.
