Inspired by the infectious beats of 90s trip hop, e.lissa faden fuses catchy choruses with visceral lyrics. One moment you’re hearing the dark, macabre tones of Fiona Apple and Massive Attack. The next, you’re swaying to shimmering synths and delicate high hats. No matter the sonic landscape, e.lissa faden isn’t afraid to dig her nails in the dirt and tell you what she really thinks.

“There’s a liminal quality here that really works — the sense of wandering through a half-lit space where certainty keeps slipping away.”

- Simão Reis, Where the Music Meets
