Danielle Fricke is a singer-songwriter and sound artist from London Ontario, Canada, now based in West Sussex, UK. Trained as a conceptual visual artist she began her career in the bedroom-pop band Snow Mantled Love, singing her off-kilter enigmatic songs amid lo-fi analog soundscapes. Having become darlings of the homegrown indie music scene in London Ontario they went their separate ways.
Danielle went on to release her first solo record ‘Moon’ with Seattle’s Porchlight records, an album of aching songs amid haunting guitars and sometimes strange and dream-like electronics, with her signature vocal harmonies, recording and producing the whole album at home and creating conceptual music videos for each single.
This release was followed by the instrumental concept album “Burrow” the experimental electronic EP “BODY” and an EP of classic lullabies
Danielle resides in Sussex, England where she creates art, illustration, and is currently working on new music for a future release.
Alex Mason is a singer-songwriter based in Toronto Ontario Canada. Known for his pensive lyricism and heartfelt songwriting, his sound reflects a careful look at the emotional landscape of life. Raised in rural Ontario, his influences range from Sharon Van Etten and Frightened Rabbit to Leonard Cohen and Gordon Lightfoot, combining the earnestness of early aughts indie with the lyrical richness and symbolism of 1960s folk singer songwriters.
Since the release of his debut EP "Wistow Lows" in 2013, he's embarked on a tour by train supporting the FACTOR funded 2015 EP "Jasper", played bars and festivals across the country, achieved CBC & Sirius XM radio play, and opened for acts such as Peter (Bauhaus), The Strumbellas, and Daniel Romano.
With the release of his first full length LP "Ghost of the Great Lakes", Mason tackles issues concerning generational trauma, mental illness, and exploring hope in the modern world. He blends the experiences of the loss of his father and his childhood growing up around the Great Lakes together with the intimate folk and alt-rock of his teens. He is currently working on his second full length entitled "Breaking the Blue Sky."
