Electrifying Canadian duo Milk & Bone continue to release thunderous tracks one after another. TODAY – they are excited to release their second single, “Hoops,” from the upcoming collaborative new EP entirely produced by fellow Montreal duo Chromeo, A Little Lucky, which will arrive on December 5, 2025, via Nettwerk.
“Hoops” is about the push and pull between moments of isolation, self-preservation, and the desire to be seen. Although the song was written at the height of the 2020 pandemic, and thus quite literal in its isolation-themed identity, it also happens to translate to so many moments since the world has been released from our respective homes.
“Hoops” is about the sudden burst of social energy, the physical memory of how it feels to be seen and desired, and realizing that if you want that person, you will have to make yourself known by that person. Put on a cute fit, leave the house, go to that bar you like, see what happens!
Milk & Bone’s Laurence Lafond-Beaulne and Camille Poliquin share, “Hoops” is a funky-pop anthem that reminds us of the golden days of Robyn’s 2010 pop domination. The arpeggiated bass will have you walking fast as the drums lead you to the earworm chorus and make you want to jump up and down in front of the mirror in your bedroom as you’re trying on outfits for the night.”
Milk & Bone’s harmonies and adlibs fly free as Chromeo’s production remains grounded and fun in this new collaborative single. “Hoops” is available on all digital platforms here.
A Little Lucky came to be in 2019. Milk & Bone won ‘Electronic Album of the Year’ at the Juno Awards for their sophomore album, Deception Bay. Following an emotional speech of recognition (completely unprepared; they had not expected the win), in which they spoke about overcoming mental health struggles in the music industry, the girls ran into fellow Montreal duo Chromeo (Nominated for Group of the Year) in a lucky escalator meet-cute.
“Hey, congrats! We should do something together!” Dave1 extends.
The girls in agreement: “Absolutely” (Internally freaking out)
After a calculated 24-hour period, Milk & Bone reaches out to Chromeo over a DM, and the story of A Little Lucky begins. The first session occurred in Los Angeles at the Chromeo studio. One thing to note is that by this time, it’s 2020. The idea of crossing a border and hopping on a plane, which seemed exciting and straightforward a few months back before COVID-19, had become terrifying and anxiety-inducing. “Should they even go?” It hurt to ask the question because the answer was obviously yes, but everything was yelling no.
After a few rescheduled obligations and the world slowly beginning to open again, Milk & Bone land in LA.
The two duos created the core of the four songs that comprise the collaborative EP in four days. Their musical universes merged perfectly, with Milk & Bone focusing on songwriting while Chromeo worked on production. It was clear this would be a bouncy and analog approach to Milk & Bone’s melancholic indie pop.
A few trips to LA later and countless messages sent via WhatsApp to approve new vocal cuts and tweaks on the mix, A Little Lucky is ready for take off and will arrive on December 5, 2025.
