Sled Island presents: Cecile Believe, mHz and more

Cecile Believe

The Voice is a powerful medium, Cecile Believe’s is unmistakable. Coming into the public eye first through her work as vocalist and co-writer on SOPHIE’s "Oil Of Every Pearl’s Uninsides," Cecile Believe is rising star in contemporary underground pop culture. Making music that is decidedly post-genre, Cecile aims to push the boundaries of pop, club and experimental, leaving room for a wide range of moods and emotional expression. 2020 saw two releases by Cecile, her debut EP "Made in Heaven" and a thrilling mixtape, Plucking a Cherry From the Void, the latter of which was made in three months over the second half of 2020. Both releases received critical acclaim and genuine appreciation from listeners. With a voice that has soundtracked many moments in the lives of listeners, Cecile Believe has come to be a deeply beloved artist with a devoted fan base.

mineo kawasaki

Mineo Kawasaki is a solo drummer and composer who manipulates rhythms and effects with a MIDI controller as he performs. His sets include a mixture of post-rock, indie, electronica, techno and minimal music. In the fall of 2022, he brought his eclectic sounds to Canada for the first time, touring Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal to enraptured crowds.

 

Tawni Bias

Folktronica trio Tawni Bias combines loops and electronic elements with airy vocals and conventional instrumentation for a sound that is equally ethereal and grounded. Debut EP SEL Fellow is gentle and melodic but still truly weird (in a good way).
