Orchidae

Orchidae is the project of Gatineau based Canadian Taiwanese artist Yolande Laroche. Her debut album True Beginning, out April 4 2025 (Birthday Cake Records) marks Yolande's first step as a lead songwriter after a decade of experience playing as a core member of art-rock band Pony Girl (Paper Bag Records). With a background in clarinet, she combines her classical training with avant-pop elements, creating a sound that is both intimate and profound as she traverses confident electronic pop songs to heartfelt piano ballads. Exploring themes of self-discovery, transformation and personal growth, Yolande's project Orchidae sees the artist in full bloom.
