Dear Criminals' deeply sensual sound draws as much on electro-porn as haunted folk; a creative nebula that brings to life a bewitching sonic creature during live performances methodically conceptualized by Frannie Holder, Vincent Legault and Charles Lavoie. As a result, it is not hard to see why the three-piece has become one of the leading voices of the contemporary Montreal scene. Emotionally-charged, spine-chilling voices, retro synths, guitar harmonies, bass grooves and textured soundscapes shaped by electro beats are some of the multiple elements that the group embrace as they craft melancholic and sensual songs. Bold and ambitious, Dear Criminals also score music for theatre and film; collaborations that always display their flair for fantasy and escape.
