https://piith.bandcamp.com/
A freak folk fixture of the Ottawa-Montreal-Toronto corridor for over 10 years. With a 4th LP on the way Pith has honed their sound into psych-tinged queer cosmic country, anchored by the effects-drenched nylon string of histrionic front-they Chrissy and backed by scene veterans Sarah Bartlett (Lake Urmia, From Them) and Cole Emberley (Deathsticks).

☆ Nick Bendsza (Montreal, QC via St. John's, NL) ☆
https://soundcloud.com/user-775272406
Dark, sensitive, direct, spiritual and tender; Bendzsa blends trap, acoustic folk, ambient, and indie to texture and paint an exaggerated world of genuine experience and fantasy. Raised in Newfoundland, the producer, songwriter and audio engineer currently lives in Montreal. Bendzsa’s emotionally blunt yet subtly humorous lyrics are delivered by his distinctive voice; sometimes tortured, sometimes sweet, always deep, strong and expressive.
