Anemone (band)

Anemone is a psychedelic pop quintet, styled "ANEMONE" 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 multi-talented pianist and singer Chloé Soldevila, a Montreal native with classical music training in the flute and piano for which she received special mention in high school, the band's compositions feature both baroque[3] influences and counter melody. Their current touring line-up consists of music veterans drummer Miles Dupire-Gagnon, guitarist Gabriel Lambert, bass guitarist Samuel Gemme, and finally guitarist and backing vocalist Zach Irving.[4] They have been critically regarded as 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]

They received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for the song "She's the One".[8]
