Michou, a Canadian indie folk/folk rock band from Windsor, Ontario, captivated audiences between 2007 and 2012 with their heartfelt melodies and evocative lyrics. Originating as singer-songwriter Mike Hargreaves' solo endeavor, the project blossomed into a full band with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Ryan Ard, keyboardist/trumpeter Sasha Appler, bassist Ryan Frith, and drummer Stefan Cvetkovic. Their debut EP, "Medea," released in 2007, set the stage for their first studio album, "Myshkin," in 2008, featuring the single "Control," which gained airplay on MuchMusic and MTV. In 2010, they unveiled "Cardona," produced by Phil Deschambeau, with singles like "Growing Younger" and "Eavesdropping" receiving extensive play. Their authentic sound and compelling performances earned them the title of XM Canada's "Artist of the Year" in 2011. Though they disbanded in 2012, Michou's music continues to resonate with fans of the indie folk genre. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michou_%28band%29?utm_source=openai))
