Sister Ray
What does it take to not only become unburdened by your past, but to embrace its many contours? Sister Ray, the project of Edmonton-born Métis songwriter Ella Coyes, was conceived out of necessity; a self-designed vehicle built to examine trauma with unflinching honesty. Sister Ray’s music is steeped in a wide range of cultural influences. With gospel bluegrass and 90’s country playing in the background of their youth, it was the traditional Métis music played at home that not only brought them closer to their heritage, but taught them a form of storytelling rooted in collective value, resilience, and safety. The result is an unyielding, spacious, and commanding form of indie rock, rooted in the folk tradition, that transforms unvarnished, interior reflections into a generous public offering.
L.N. Baba
The earnest, personal tracks of Edmonton’s l.n. baba evoke a sense of nostalgic and contemplative imagery, ruminating upon a precise moment in life. A compelling style of storytelling harkens back to traditional folk, complemented by his lo-fi yet technical guitar-based melodies. His debut LP, Rubber Eye, is touching, engaging and wonderfully creative.
