Your Favorite Enemies formed in Montreal around 2007, pulling from rock, folk, and electronic textures. Their early albums like 'Between Illness and Migration' and 'Empire of Gold' came out in quick succession, with songs such as 'Hold me Tight' and 'City on Fire' showing their range. They've kept a steady pace of releases through the 2010s and into 2020 with records like 'Copperlight' and 'Communion'.
The band's core has included Alex Henry-Foster on vocals and guitar, Sef Chi on drums, Jeff Beaulieu on bass, Jacques Belanger-Dumont on keyboards, and Charles-Andre Tellier on guitar. Their work earned them some notice, including a Juno Award for Breakthrough Group of the Year in 2013. Tracks like 'Midnight's Crashing' and 'I see a Darkness' reflect the atmospheric quality in their catalog.
In 2018, they faced financial troubles that put their future in question, but fan support through crowdfunding helped them keep going. They've continued putting out music since, with 'Isom' that same year and 'Communion' following in 2020.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
