After Uffie and Lokoy’s remix of 20MGs, released this summer, it’s now Blue Hawaii‘s turn to transform a song from Milk & Bone‘s latest album, Chrysalism. This time, it’s Piggyback – one of the standout tracks of the electro-pop duo’s current tour, for which Camille Poliquin and Laurence Lafond-Beaulne created a memorable choreography – that’s presented to us in a club-ready version, thereby transmitting the joy and energy of their live set to the dance floor.
Without planning it, the Chrysalism remix project has become a duo project, explain Camille and Laurence. Having another duo remix one of our songs felt like a silly, but precise thing to do. We’ve built such a tight way of working together as a pair, and the thought of having a similar process applied to an alternate version of our work seemed like something we really wanted to see unfold. We’ve loved Blue Hawaii forever so their saying yes to this was extremely exciting to us.
After performing across Quebec since the release of Chrysalism, Milk & Bone is set to perform their homecoming show in Montreal at the Beanfield Theatre (formerly the Corona Theatre) on February 16th, 2024. This will be the duo’s first headlining concert in Montreal in over a year. In the meantime, Milk & Bone will be opening for Christine and the Queens at MTELUS this Sunday (October 15th), as well as performing at M for Montréal on November 18th as part of a showcase presented by Consequence, and in numerous cities across the province over the coming months.

In the fall of 2022, Milk & Bone unveiled Chrysalism. The album was described by CBC Music as a collection of raw insecurities, mundane moments, heart-wrenching conflicts and beautiful bonds. Built on vocal harmonies, synth-led hooks and catchy guitar riffs, this third album allowed the duo to explore topics such as love, longing and heartbreak from a more mature perspective. Composed and recorded with the help of Los Angeles-based producer Micah Jasper (ELIO, Rebecca Black, Slayyyter), who shares the duo’s pop sensibilities and references, Chrysalism is a poignant reflection of what it feels like to grow older and come into your own.
