Vincent Khouni

The leader of the Montreal garage rock band Double Date with Death (DDWD), Vincent Khouni has set sail on a solo journey, like a message entrusted to the waves, to explore a more intimate universe. With multi-instrumentalist Emmanuel Alias (ALIAS) on drums and production, he creates music situated somewhere between the analog warmth of the late 1960s and contemporary experimentation.

A visual artist in his spare time (collage, painting), Khouni enjoys playing with images, words, and their resonances. After exhibitions in Montreal and Europe, as well as collaborations with various magazines, he transposes his sense of collage into songwriting, treating each track like a canvas to paint. Equally comfortable in French and English, Khouni continuously enriches his sonic palette, crafting songs where texture and atmosphere are as paramount as melody.

In September 2023, he unveiled *8:12pm*, a debut album praised by Le Devoir as "a dose of comfort." On stage, he shares his world during notable concerts (Coup de cœur francophone, Les Francouvertes, opening for Bon Enfant, Alex Burger, Bibi Club, Alphonse Bisaillon, LARAW, Yuma Abe).

In 2025, Vincent returns with *Accident*, a four-track EP crafted with Emmanuel Alias. Darker in tone, this project navigates between alternative pop and atmospheric electronica, tinged with post-rock touches. Electronic rhythms blend with dreamy synths and textured guitars. Inspired by contemporaries like Flavien Berger, James Blake, or Bon Iver, the singer-songwriter continues his musical odyssey.

With *Accident*, Khouni draws a clear line between poetry and modernity, where emotions meld into the very fabric of the sound.
