HANSOM ÉLI
https://hansomeli.bandcamp.com/.
Hansom Ēli is a Montreal-based duo formed in 2019 by siblings Camille and Alexy Guérer. While Camille mainly writes the lyrics and sings, her brother, a multi-instrumentalist and producer, composes melodies that complement his sister's sensibility. Playing with folk, R&B, funk, and indie-pop sounds to create their signature musical style, their sound is reminiscent of Feist and Christine and The Queens. Born in Ottawa to French-speaking Quebecois parents, the group sings in both French and English, and even tries their hand at Spanish from time to time.
.
The duo writes by improvising until they find the right words. This is how they came up with their name “Hansom Ēli,” which is inspired by the concept of gender binary. Analyzing the English word “handsome,” which is normally used for men and never for women, the duo decided to make it gender-neutral and appropriate it for themselves. Summer and winter alike, Camille and Alexy get around by bike and adopt a lifestyle focused on conservation and protection of nature, ecology, healthy eating, etc. These passions and values are reflected in all facets of their lifestyle, including their music, where we see Camille crisscrossing the roads of Quebec and elsewhere by bike: Summer Rise, Monet, Voyageur.
