Elly Kace:
Elly Kace’s music is anchored by her unshakable openness: her willingness to experience new things, embrace new perspectives, and adapt to difficult circumstances. An acclaimed and internationally renowned opera singer, she explored new sides of herself when she released her debut pop album in 2021’s Nothing I see means anything, a densely conceptual and boundary-pushing collection of songs that explored her meditative, introspective, and danceable side. But with her latest full-length, Object Permanence, her songs have become deeply personal and yearning. It’s the encapsulation of her ceaseless searching and her willingness to be pushed to new creative heights, all while excavating her grief and turning it into something healing and stunning.

Anterra:
Anterra’s music feels like stepping into an ancient forest bathed in moonlight—haunting, lush, and teeming with hidden wisdom. Her crystalline voice cuts through atmospheric synths and intricate arrangements with surprising vulnerability, grounding her expansive art pop compositions with intimate folk sensibility. Lyrically, she invokes vivid vignettes of healing and longing, where the natural world serves as a mystical guide.

Frequent comparison to Florence and the Machine highlights her ability to channel raw emotional resonance with magnetic, theatrical presence—creating music equally earthly and otherworldly. Indeed, her name Anterra both contains and transcends the earth. With a growing reputation for transformative live performances, Anterra is a distinctive voice on the rise in dark indie folk.
