Delusion Squared

Delusion Squared is a French progressive rock trio known for their moody storytelling and genre-blending soundscapes. Formed in the early 2010s, the band features Lorraine Young (vocals, bass, artwork), Steven Francis (guitars, keyboards), and Emmanuel de Saint Méen (drums, programming), who combine atmospheric rock with electronic textures and cinematic vibes. Their music often explores existential themes and dystopian narratives, as heard in releases like *Anthropocene* and *The Final Delusion*, which balance melodic hooks with intricate instrumental layers.

While maintaining a DIY ethos, the band has cultivated a dedicated following among prog enthusiasts for their cohesive albums and conceptual depth. Their self-titled debut and sophomore release *II* showcase their evolution from moody alt-rock roots to a more polished blend of modern prog and art-rock experimentation. Delusion Squared’s work feels like a secret handshake for fans of bands that prioritize atmosphere and lyrical introspection alongside technical chops.
