Anemone (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anemone is a psychedelic pop quintet, styled "ANEMONE" and mispronounced,[1] which formed in Montreal, Quebec in September 2015.[2] Named after the song "Anemone" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, it is fronted by the pianist and singer Chloé Soldevila, a Montreal native with classical music training in the flute and piano. The band's compositions feature both baroque[3] influences and counter melody.

Their current touring line-up consists of Soldevila, drummer Miles Dupire-Gagnon (also of Elephant Stone, guitarist Gabriel Lambert, bass guitarist Samuel Gemme, and guitarist and backing vocalist Zach Irving.[4] They have been called Montreal's best new psych band,[5] and topped Paste magazine's list of the ten bands they were most excited to see at the 2019 Treefort Music Fest in Boise, Idaho,[6] as well as being second on Inlander's must-see list.[7][citation needed]

In 2019, they released their debut album Beat My Distance, which received luke-warm reviews.[8][9] However, also in 2019, they received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for the song "She's the One".[10][11]
