Eliza Niemi (2024)
Toronto, ON
Indie musician and composer (a founder of the gone-but-not-forgotten Mauno) is a storyteller who makes songs that feel lived in. Her album Staying Mellow Blows, out on Tin Angel Records and her own Vain Mina Records, paints vivid pictures that swoon with off-kilter pop arrangements that include instruments like banjo alongside synth and electronic manipulations.
