Pregnant is an American musical project founded by Daniel Trudeau in Placerville, California in 2004. Their sound has been described as "mutant pop sound collages". They have released music on Porter Records and Mush Records.

Career

Pregnant started as a solo project consisting only of Daniel Trudeau. The first album, Ike Wimin, was released on KDVS Recordings in 2009. Pregnant continued as a solo project for the albums Regional Music (2010) and Life Hard: I Try (2011).

For their fifth album, Pottery Mill (2013), Pregnant became a duo with the addition of Daniel's brother Matt Trudeau. The band eventually relocated to Sacramento and released several more albums with different band members, with Daniel Trudeau being the only consistent member.

About

PREGNANT is the musical pipe-works of Daniel Trudeau — born in Placerville, California in 2004, now rooted in Sacramento.

Described as "mutant pop sound collages", PREGNANT defies genre across folk, electronic, and experimental terrain. Trudeau remains the only constant — the project has churned through lineups, toured Japan, South Korea, and the US, played Treefort Music Festival, and dropped 11 albums across a web of independent labels.

In 2014, the Your Song project let fans donate $7+ for a personalized, recorded, and released song — over 100 commissioned tracks came out of it, scattered across indie cassette labels.
