Three Sauf les Drones members Barbara (trombone), Christophe Rosset Balcer (drums), and Charlotte (violin) help form this 6-piece Montreal post-rock band.
These musicians create calm and delicate instrumental epics. Gentle, soft, but powerful in its essence, Sauf les drones' music incorporates a warmly piercing violin, an elaborate piano, an accordion, a beautiful harp, drums, bass, and a vibrating trombone. Their music is self-described as "experimental, dronistic and cinematic, while remaining uplifting, fragile and strong". Building landscapes, finding communities, using zines, immersing poetry, and performing with happiness, Sauf les drones explains the history of their work, past influences, and new directions.
Get real on:
Understanding the necessity for respect and communication to work as a healthy band.

Redefining post-rock as a happy genre
