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, evocative, 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 and introspective 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.
Written over years of travel and performances across continents, their recent work explores the many forms of distance — physical, emotional, and existential. It reflects on what separates us: from the people we love, from who we once were, and from the versions of ourselves we imagined becoming. Their music navigates estrangement and longing, the fragile passage of time, and 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. Their work embraces life in all its contradictions: ordinary and extraordinary, fleeting yet profound.
Through delicate melodies, understated electronics, orchestral textures, and deeply human storytelling, Ghostly Kisses invites listeners into a space where simple gestures carry immense weight — and where, even across distance, connection endures.
