Anemone is a psychedelic pop quintet, styled "ANEMONE" and mispronounced,[1] which formed in Montreal, Quebec in September 2015.[2] Named after the song "Anemone" by The Brian Jonestown Massacre, it is fronted by the pianist and singer Chloé Soldevila, a Montreal native with classical training in the flute and piano. The band's compositions feature both baroque[3] influences and counter melody.

Their line-up was Soldevila, drummer Miles Dupire-Gagnon (also of Elephant Stone), guitarist Gabriel Lambert, bass guitarist Samuel Gemme, and guitarist and backing vocalist Zach Irving, who left the band in 2020.[4][5] They have been called Montreal's best new psych band,[6] and topped Paste magazine's list of the ten bands they were most excited to see at the 2019 Treefort Music Fest in Boise, Idaho,[7] as well as being second on Inlander's must-see list.[8][citation needed]

In 2018, Anemone released the EP Baby Only You & I.[9] In 2019, they released their debut album Beat My Distance, which received luke-warm reviews.[10][11] However, also in 2019, they received a SOCAN Songwriting Prize nomination for the song "She's the One".[12][13]
