Born and raised in the Alberta prairies of Sturgeon County, and now based in Toronto, the 25-year-old artist earned widespread attention with their acclaimed debut effort, Communion and follow up EP, Teeth. Backed by ginla’s Joe Manzoli and Jon Nellen, both of whom previously played with Adrianne Lenker and Lorely Rodriguez (Empress Of), the record was an unvarnished portrait of heartbreak, and the mundane realizations of how the experiences that comprise your past instruct how you move through the world. . The album was longlisted for the 2022 Polaris Prize, and across both releases they have been featured in Pitchfork, Audiotree, Paste, NPR, The Guardian, Line of Best Fit and more, along with tours supporting Hurray For The Riff Raff, and appearances at Pitchfork Festival in Paris and London, Primavera Weekender. If the tracks on Communion were fueled with an intentional sense of urgency, for their songwriting to serve as a vehicle for excavating revelations in motion, Believer yearns in a different direction. It rings with the certainty that self-assurance is cultivated through the cracks of discomfort.
