[1] The New Yorker has referred to Garneau's music as "fanciful and ornate compositions haunted with melancholia and a dreamlike innocence; his falsetto voice often dances over staccato piano notes accompanied by sorrowful violin and pastoral cello parts.

[3] Garneau, a native of Boston, lived with his family in Paris during grade school, and later New Jersey before moving to New York City.

Garneau participated in the Spring Awakening workshops and was cast in the Atlantic Theater Company's Broadway production.

[1] After high school, Garneau briefly attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, but left after completing one term and moved to Brooklyn.
