St. Arnaud

St.Arnaud is the music of Ian (St.Arnaud), a project that balances buoyant, wry storytelling with roots and early indie influences, all wrapped in lively, danceable arrangements. Often described as “the goofy side of self-serious indie rock.” St.Arnaud began as a solo endeavour in the wake of the 2017 passing of close friend and musical collaborator Luke Jansen.

St.Arnaud's forthcoming third and self-titled LP, out April 10th, is steeped in the likes of the raucous and fun-loving '70s folkers and power poppers like Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers, the result is a larger and livelier interpretation that retains Ian’s penchant for pop hooks and sardonic lyrics. Although this is a singer-songwriter album at its core, it’s also the most collaborative St.Arnaud project to date, with each performing member shaping the arrangements and songwriting.
