About
Petite Amie is a psychedelic pop-rock band from Mexico City. Driven by curiosity and a shared desire to explore sound, the project began in 2019 as a space to experiment freely with songwriting, textures, and timbres they had not yet heard elsewhere. A series of singles released the following year positioned the band as one of the most compelling emerging acts in the Mexican alternative rock scene. These tracks later became their self-titled debut LP, released in October 2021. In January 2025, the band released their long-anticipated second album, Hay Veces, a ten-track record that moves through love, confusion, disappointment, and the restless impulse to take on the world. Staying true to their ongoing purpose of constantly creating new music, the band is currently at work on their third album.
​
Petite Amie’s music is defined by delicate yet expressive lead vocals sung in French and Spanish, intertwined with acoustic guitars, enveloping synthesizers, fuzzy guitar leads, and prominent, dynamic drums. Rather than adhering to a single genre, the band moves fluidly within the realm of psychedelic pop-rock, guided by experimentation and a hands-on approach to sound. Their creative process is deeply rooted in a fascination with analog instruments and the possibilities that emerge from playing, layering, and manipulating them. Their influences range from classic acts like The Beatles and Pink Floyd to more contemporary artists such as Air, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Melody’s Echo Chamber, and Crumb.
