Ghostly Kisses

Ghostly Kisses is the ethereal indie dream-pop project of Margaux Sauvé and Louis-Étienne Santais, a Quebec City–based duo known for crafting intimate and cinematic songs that blur the line between the personal and the universal. After Darkroom (2024) — an album born from anonymous letters shared by fans around the world — Ghostly Kisses turns inward, embracing a more reflective chapter. Rooted in dream-pop, their sound is shaped by cinematic minimalism and intimate, poetic songwriting. It lives in the quiet spaces where vulnerability meets atmosphere, and emotion lingers long after the last note.

Their new album Across the Pond (out on August 12 2026) explores the many forms of distance — physical, emotional, and existential. Written over years of travel and concerts across continents, the record reflects on what separates us: from the people we love, from who we once were, and from the versions of ourselves we imagined becoming. It speaks to estrangement and longing, to the fragile passage of time, and to the tension between our desire for permanence and the reality of impermanence.

As their world expands through movement and encounters, a contrasting intimacy emerges — the desire to build a home, to create life, and the vulnerability that comes with it. Across the Pond embraces life in all its contradictions: ordinary and extraordinary, fleeting yet profound. Through delicate melodies, understated electronics, orchestral arrangements, and vulnerable storytelling, Ghostly Kisses invites listeners into a space where simple gestures carry immense weight — and where, even across oceans, connection endures.
