Montreal based multidisciplinarity artist Annie-Claude Deschênes is set to release her debut album 'LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE' on release April 5th (digitally) & April 26th (physically) via via Italians Do It Better + Bonsound. Today the title-track from the album is streaming online.
Regardless of where we are eating, proper table etiquette is primordial… or not. On the new wave track LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE from the album of the same name, Annie-Claude Deschênes suggests in a directive tone bordering on rudeness the right behavior to adopt according to the 2024 Table Manners Guide. She rigorously explains how to follow the cathartic rules of dining, avoiding faux pas along the way. Bon appétit!

As a key figure on the Montreal independent music scene for the last two decades, she has left her mark as a performer & visual artist with Duchess Says & PyPy; two bands that are renowned as much for their electrifying live shows as they are for their artistic sensibilities. Always forward, her exploratory approach takes her into uncharted territory with her debut as a solo artist. The urgency that characterises her work remains, but frustration & aggression give way to introspection & vulnerability. Driven by the endless need to create outside her comfort zone, Annie-Claude Deschênes reinvents herself once again.
Over the course of her career, Annie-Claude Deschênes shared the stage with a number of renowned bands, including The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, The Black Lips, The Hives, The Hot Snakes & Buzzcocks, among others. Her extensive touring has taken her all over the world, playing venues & festivals (Primavera Fest, Eurockéennes de Belfort, OSHEAGA, Sled Island, etc.) as well as unconventional locations like golf courses, factories & churches. Her career is punctuated by collaborative projects linking various art forms, including the co-founding of the collective Conclusion Finale, with whom she exhibits at Concordia University's VAV gallery, the DARE-DARE diffusion center & Université Laval in Quebec City, & the production of the soundtrack for Yves St-Laurent's Los Angeles fashion show with PyPy. Winner of the 2022 cohort of the PHI NORD program, she was awarded a two-week immersive creative residency, during which her songs transformed into a tangible debut album titled 'LES MANIÈRES DE TABLE'.
