Just hours before igniting the Commodore Ballroom stage, the R&B trio unpack the realities of touring, influence, and fan-fuelled evolution.
The Montreal electro-pop duo have mentioned that the titular chrysalis of their third studio album refers to “the feeling of tranquility that comes with being indoors during a thunderstorm, privy to the drama while remaining somewhat removed and untouched.” This makes a lot of sense considering their sound.

The two-time Polaris nominees continue to complement each other well vocally, bolstering their sharp and rhythmic pop songwriting with a contrast between one softer, Grimes-esque tone and one with fuller belts.
