About
Petite Amie is a psychedelic pop-rock band from Mexico City. In 2019, the group of musicians decided to get together to write songs, releasing a set of singles a year after that would place them as one of top rising acts of the Mexican alternative rock scene. These songs became their self-titled debut LP, released in October 2021. On January 2025, released their much anticipated album, Hay Veces, 10 tracks about love, confusion, the urge to take on the world, disappointment, and everything in between
Petite Amie's music is characterized by sweet vocals from the two vocalists, who sing in French and Spanish, acoustic guitars, enveloping synthesizers, fuzzy guitar solos and prominent drums. As such, the band fluctuates between different genres, based on psychedelic pop-rock. Their main influences include classics such as the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and more recent sounds such as Air, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Melody's Echo Chamber and Crumb.
