Known for her ethereal voice and sincere lyricism, Georgia Harmer has emerged as one
of the most compelling voices in Canada's indie music scene. Rooted in the
collaborative spirit of Toronto’s tight-knit musical community, her songs move fluidly
across a wide emotional range—shifting from soaring, cathartic anthems to hushed,
intimate reflections with ease.
Harmer’s forthcoming sophomore album, Eye of the Storm, arrives summer 2025 and
marks a striking evolution in her songwriting. Where her debut captured the fleeting
magic of moments passed, this new offering delves deeper into the shifting terrain of
relationships weathering time, transformation, and turbulence. Eye of the Storm is both
a meditation on memory and a reckoning with what to hold onto, and what must be let
go.
Harmer first captivated audiences with her 2022 debut Stay in Touch, earning praise
from Stereogum, who called her "a noteworthy talent," and SPIN, who named her an
Artist to Watch and wrote, “for Georgia Harmer, it’s a matter of when, not if.”
Since then, she has toured extensively across North America and the UK, performing at
major festivals such as SXSW, The Great Escape, and Focus Wales, and supporting
artists including City & Colour, Lake Street Dive, Bahamas, and Broken Social Scene.
With Eye of the Storm, Georgia Harmer steps further into her artistic identity—resonant,
precise, and fiercely vulnerable. It’s an album that doesn’t just capture where she’s
been—it defines where she’s going.

 

Sister Ray 

On Believer, the sophomore effort by Sister Ray, the expansive folk project led by Toronto-based singer-songwriter Ella Coyes, they evaluate what it means to hold your center while continually reappraising how to make sense of the world. Conjuring the barbed alternative folk and sweeping Americana of Tom Waits, Smog, and Lucinda Williams, the album unfurls and claws towards a greater emotional precision. Patient, heaving guitar lines defer generous space to shimmering keys and steady percussion, all held together by Coyes’ unmistakable voice. Recorded in Brooklyn, New York, Coyes worked with frequent collaborator and producer Jon Nellen (Big Thief, Nick Hakim), as well as Marc Ribot (Tom Waits), Paul Spring (Holy Hive, Fleet Foxes, El Michaels Affair), and Isaiah Barr (Dev Hynes, David Byrne) to experiment with a new process: pushing themselves to cut a song a day with minimal revisions to let the seams show. Exploring a form of songcraft inspired by the meditative power of repetition, instrumental synchronicity, and the many ways emotions can hang heavy in a song, they foreclosed on the option to second guess themselves. Instead, they created an outlet for all the contemplations that sit on the tongue and behind the teeth.

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. If Communion was 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.
