Garneau cites Jeff Buckley, Nina Simone, Nico, and Chan Marshall as influences. 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."
He currently resides in New York's Hudson Valley.
