CHANCES
A Montreal trio founded in 2016: Chloé Lacasse, Geneviève Toupin and Vincent Carré weave experimental pop rooted in Francophone, Anglophone and Métis cultures, carried by otherworldly vocal harmonies.
Biography
CHANCES was born in Montreal in 2016 from two voices and a drummer: Chloé Lacasse (voice, synths, piano, guitars), Geneviève Toupin (voice, synths, piano, acoustic guitar, accordion) and Vincent Carré (drums, percussion, live electronics, voice). The trio claims Francophone, Anglophone and Métis roots, and writes in both languages.
Their experimental pop — “otherworldly pop”, in their official page's words — layers vocal harmonies over synths and live electronics. The album Traveler came out in 2018, followed by the Connection EP (2021) and the original score for the play TUPQAN. In 2018 and 2019, the trio played more than a hundred shows across Quebec, Ontario and Europe.
On September 26, 2025, CHANCES released And Now You Become a Seeker (Quartier Général label), produced with Erika Angell: ten tracks including “Moon and Sun”, “L'heure bleue” and “Nos états”. The album earned the trio an ADISQ nomination for Show of the Year — Anglophone.
