History
Originating from Fribourg in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, BARON.E was composed of Faustine Pochon and Arnaud Rolle. Established in 2019, their sound was influenced by a range of rock styles alongside modern French music trends. They mainly sang in French, merging elements of indie pop and electropop genres.
Their track "Un verre d'ego" earned a spot among the top songs of 2019 according to Les Inrockuptibles, which helped them gain international attention.
The duo's debut EP, Jeunesse Dorée, was released on 13 March 2020. That same month, they embarked on a U.S. tour that included an appearance at the 2020 Francophonie Cultural Festival in Washington, D.C.. However, their scheduled show at the Atlanta Francophonie Festival was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2022, BARON.E was awarded an artistic residency in Paris, sponsored by Fribourg. This residency took place at the Jean Tinguely studio within the Cité des Arts from September 2023 through August 2024.
Their sophomore EP, Créature, was released on 4 November 2021 via PIAS France. Following this, their third EP, Nuit noire, came out on 7 April 2023.
The duo officially ended their collaboration in 2024.
