Lemon formed in Montreal in 2017 around vocalist Léa Simone Desta, bassist Laurent Bardainne, and guitarist Kevin Bouchard. Their first album, simply called 'Lemon,' came out the following year. The band's sound pulls from dream pop and psychedelic rock, with Desta's vocals floating over Bardainne's basslines and Bouchard's guitar work.
Their second album, 'Pussydrop,' arrived in 2021. The title track became their most recognizable song, alongside other tracks like 'All Excuses' and 'You Know Too Much.' Desta's lyrics often deal with sexuality and mental health in direct terms, which has drawn attention both positive and critical.
Lemon's music tends to be atmospheric and sometimes unsettling, avoiding straightforward pop structures. They haven't chased mainstream polish, keeping their recordings relatively raw. The band continues to work from Montreal, maintaining a consistent lineup since their start.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
