Michele Bry

Michele Bry is a French visual artist and musician based in Paris. For over a year now, Michele Bry has allowed us to open tiny windows on her musical world. Behind pastel vignettes of bunnies, shopping trays and telephones lie miniature twee pop songs written, composed and arranged by Michele in her East Paris bedroom. Latest single 'two rabbits one hat' is a literal glimpse into her girlhood - as Michele enumerates the content of her bag. With only “a gloss and a pen, two rabbits and a hat, a few dollars from the night before”, she hits the yellow brick road, leaving her small-town France for bright lights, big city. 

Frances Glass

Frances Glass is here to ask the big questions. Emerging from the bright light of London, Frances Glass weaves together exhilarating pop production, poetic lyrics and a relentlessly creative, risk-taking approach to building new worlds through their stunning visuals. With soaring vocals, infectious hooks and lush production, debut single 'Ride!' tussles with the often absurd yet defining questions of our times such as cultural and political divide, where we're headed and how to live with hope, all while reimagining the future of pop music.

Writing and performing their first music at age 12, Glass cut their teeth by drawing from a deep well of songwriting tradition. With an eclectic range of influences from Radiohead and Joni Mitchell to Rosalia and Aphex Twin - Glass transcends genre, fusing their traditional songwriting skills with their ability as a producer to carve out a vision that is full to the brim with emotion and poignancy. Mixing glitchy electronics with the grandeur of Classical music and the immediacy of Pop and Folk, Glass' music creates a sprawling and deeply affective sonic landscape for the listener to find solace in.

Hannah Frances

Hannah Frances is a vocalist, guitarist, composer, dancer and poet. Her work is centered at the intersection of grief and nature, exploring the pathways of healing through cathartic process and land connection. A classically trained vocalist and self-taught guitarist with virtuosic dynamism, there is no singular way Hannah grips us with her complex open-tuned guitar work and storytelling. Through profoundly cutting lyricism, percussive polyrhythmic fingerpicking, and a prodigious voice, Frances’ unorthodox sound melds avant-folk, progressive rock, and jazz.

A persistent troubadour, Frances lives in Vermont with roots in Chicago, though she is most often touring internationally and nationally, opening for artists such as Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, Hurray for the Riff Raff, The Weather Station, Hiss Golden Messenger, Billie Marten, Whitney, and Damien Jurado, among others. Whether performing as a solo act or leading her full seven-piece ensemble, her mythology spellbinds with an insistent gravity.

Her unique sound is a masterful blend of ethereal atmospheres and lively dance beats. 

A skater and advocate for analog living, Sophia’s off-screen lifestyle feeds her creativity, keeping her grounded and observant.
