The jazzy indie mix was super tight, as well as the guitar licks by Lachance and piano flourishes by the keyboardist (whose name I can\u2019t find anywhere). Lemieux has a soft and whisper-thin voice,(her vocals could maybe have been a bit louder)  perfect for the waves of dream pop, somewhere between Mazzy Star\u2019s Hope Sandoval and Men I Trust\u2019s Emmanuelle Proulx, but all in French, of course. It was the best way to start this year&#8217;s Francos festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Deux places au cimeti\u00e8re\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2Gar69x6vCCYKUfuTLvVUf?si=Br_07dgsQ4eQrlPlN5rFIQ&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I saw Grand Eug\u00e8ne, the indie dream pop collaboration between Melyssa Lemieux and Jeremy Lachance, two years ago at FME, and that show was much more intimate and low-key.
