Hoan formed in 2015 with the intention of exploring sonic terrain without inhibition.
Since then, they went on two north American tours and played over 100 shows in Canada and USA including festivals such as SXSW 2017, CMW, Pop Montreal and M for Montreal.
Their work gives subtle nods to the darker sides of new wave adding an understated melodic intelligence that sometime can remind of bands like Deerhunter and Broadcast.
Their debut release, “Modern Phase”, was released on April 28th 2017 on Fantôme Records.
