Douance

Douance is a musical entity surrounded by a grunge universe deeply inspired by the 90s and its underground music scene. Her style is raw, lo-fi, unpretentious and visceral. Originally from Saguenay, Alexandrine Rodrigue has been working in the Quebec music scene for nearly ten years. Her songs evoke love and hesitation while being tinged with a melancholy that is sometimes heavy with meaning. Her singularity lies at the intersection of that heaviness and a desire not to take it too seriously. On stage, she performs the songs from À la prochaine, released in the fall of 2025, along with excerpts from her previous album Monstre. À la prochaine was composed mainly during the last months of a romantic relationship, and then in the period that followed its end. It is a deeply sad album that tackles one of the most universal and difficult ordeals: breakup. Its lyrics explore love, regret, betrayal, rebuilding, vulnerability, hope and mourning. Sometimes you believe you know everything, that you've been through it all, only to find yourself at rock bottom and realize you knew nothing.
