Dream pop for the broken heart. Formed in Montreal and now based in Los Angeles, Desire is the duo of vocalist Megan Louise and producer Johnny Jewel (Chromatics, Glass Candy, Twin Peaks). Their sound blends French and English vocals with shimmering synths, cinematic atmospheres, and pulsing rhythms that echo both disco and noir.

Johnny Jewel is a composer, producer, and the architect of Italians Do It Better. As the force behind Chromatics, Glass Candy, and Desire, he has defined a generation of synth-driven cinema, with music featured in Nicolas Refn’s Drive and Bronson, Ryan Gosling’s Lost River, and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: The Return. On stage, Jewel transforms his scores and soundscapes into an immersive live experience—analog synthesizers, projected film, and sweeping atmospheres that blur the line between concert and cinema.
