Tess Roby - Beacon

Label: Italians Do It Better

Released 2018

TESS ROBY is an artist with a vision. The Montreal-based photographer & musician, an eight-year veteran of the Canadian Children’s Opera Company, seems utterly original, moving with a restless energy toward the sublime. Her sound betrays an intrepid longing to discover and explore, to reject convention and transcend cliché: ROBY is a born traveller, absorbing everything she hears & making it new. Ethereal & crystalline, bathed sumptuously in synths, her music is heady, dreamy, singular — a transmission from parts unknown. The classical training & aesthetic omnivorousness combine like worlds colliding.
