Flower Face
On July 22, multi-hyphenate artist Flower Face makes her debut headline performance in Toronto to celebrate the release of her highly anticipated album The Shark In Your Water.
Creating melancholic folk music with a bedroom pop heart and taking inspiration from her own vertiginous life experiences, Flower Face’s musical testimonials recall the jagged emotion of Bright Eyes while conjuring the ethereal ecstasy of a fresh wound.
Released via Nettwerk Records, McKinnon says "The Shark In Your Water is an exploration of the self and how that is impacted and transformed by trauma, grief, love, heartbreak, and the struggle of identity.” Produced by McKinnon, Joshua Kaiser, Jay Merrow and Alex Bonenfant at Toronto’s Dreamhouse Studios, The Shark In Your Water not only marks the next phase in Flower Face’s stratospheric musical trajectory but also serves as a showcase for McKinnon’s artistic prowess -- she puts her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree to use on the album’s cover art, video production and editing. The result sees the 23-year-old in full control of her artistic and musical vision.
