Sargeant X Comrade is a Canadian soul music duo from Calgary, Alberta,[1] whose full-length debut album Magic Radio was a longlisted nominee for the 2021 Polaris Music Prize.[2]

The band was formed in the early 2010s by vocalist Yolanda Sargeant and producer Evgeniy "Comrade" Bykovets.[3] They released the EP Salvage the Soul in 2014,[3] and followed up with a number of singles before releasing Magic Radio in 2020.[4] The album's single "Romance in Outer Space" features a rap cameo by Kool Keith.[1]

In addition to their Polaris nomination, they received two Western Canadian Music Award nominations in 2021, for Breakout Artist of the Year and Rap & Hip-Hop Artist of the Year.[5]

Sargeant also performed vocals on "Hold Me Up", a 2020 single by producer Hello Moth.[6]
