Milk & Bone are a Canadian electropop music duo, consisting of Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin.[1] Their debut album Little Mourning, released in 2015, is a longlisted nominee for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize.[2]
The duo first met as music students at Cégep de Saint-Laurent,[3] and later performed with David Giguère's touring band.[3] They decided to begin writing and performing as a duo after being brought in as guest vocalists on Misteur Valaire's 2013 album Bellevue.[3]
Although both of the band members are francophones, they write and record in English.[1] With the majority of their immediate friends and colleagues also being francophone, they used SoundCloud to connect with potential contributors to the album, including Toronto-based rapper Terrell Morris on the track "Tomodachi".[1]
In 2015, Milk & Bone was the recipient of the SOCAN Breakout Award at the Francophone SOCAN Awards in Montreal.[4]
