Erika Angell

The Montreal-based Swedish vocalist and composer Erika Angell embodies a profound love for art and music, driving her to relentlessly push creative boundaries and champion originality in the arts. Across sixteen independently produced albums, and innumerable collaborations, Angell has been a poetic and audacious force in genre-defying music. Her voice has been described as “a guiding presence” (Exclaim) that “splits the difference between the divine and demonic, skillfully unhinged” (Under The Radar) and “sits alongside the greatest indie female artists who are not afraid of anything” (Le Devoir). Angell will release her debut solo album on the legendary label Constellation in early 2024, an electroacoustic work of unfettered vocal exploration and expressionist avant-electronic composition.

Known for her unconventional artistry with the Polaris-nominated band Thus Owls, Angell's impact spans earlier projects like the Swedish vocal-bass duo Josef & Erika, the electronic noise group The Moth, and more recently the New Music trio Beatings Are in the Body. She has toured the world extensively in support of her primary projects and she counts artists like Daníel Bjarnason (Ben Frost and Sigur Rós), Liam O’Neill (SUUNS), Karl Lemieux (Goodspeed You! Black Emperor), Lisen Rylander Löve(Midaircondo) and Anders Jormin (ECM) amongst her many collaborators. Her distinctive and virtuosic voice has graced recordings and live performances with a wide spectrum of artists, including Loney Dear, Patrick Watson, Leonard Cohen, Kim Myhr, Arve Henriksen, Land Of Kush, Wildbirds and Peacedrums, La Force and The Besnard Lakes to name just a few.
