Kensico is the brainchild of Montreal-based singer songwriter Gaëlle Bellaunay whose new release represents the kismet collaboration of Bellaunay, producers & composers Daran, Mathias “Schneebi” Schneeberger (Gutter Twins, The Afghan Whigs, Mark Lanegan, Joseph Arthur, Foo Fighters), Masters Of Reality frontman Chris Goss (Mark Lanegan, Queens of the Stone Age, UNKLE, Desert Sessions, Foo Fighters) and Alain Johannes (Mark Lanegan, Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Desert Session, Foo Fighters, Chris Cornell, Arctic Monkeys). Surrounded by such a team, Kensico naturally settled down at the legendary Rancho de la Luna studio, a Mecca of the latter-day rock set, in order to write some more and record Kensico's first L.P. "White Sage".

*************************************************

From a dreamy childhood in a Parisian suburb, watching the endless ballet of the aircrafts in the sky above Orly, to a perpetual nomadic life along the North American roads, traveling by bus… From her great love of the desert to her wanderings through the Lakota territories, forever engraved in her flesh… From the rugged coastline of the Atlantic where her folks hail from, to the Sierra Madre jungle in Mexico… It’s finally in Montreal that Kensico lays down her suitcases, in order to open the pages of a travel book.
 
*************************************************

Kensico was born between a long night of love making and a big slap in the face...it feels beautiful and it sadly hurts in the meantime...
