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. Their 10th album, Duct Tape (2017), was released on Plastic Response Records and features fellow Sacramento musician Mason Lindahl.
In 2014, Daniel started a project called Your Song, in which people could donate $7 or more through the band's Bandcamp page for him to write, record and release a song about them. He commissioned over 100 songs for this project, which were released as compilations through independent cassette labels.
