Montreal’s Flower Face Introduces New Album ‘Kill The Muse’

will release her new album ‘Kill The Muse’ on February 5th.

The Montreal artist signalled her return this summer, sharing the gossamer, under-rated ‘Bad Dream’ to the delight of fans.

New album ‘Kill The Muse’ follows, and it’s mark by introspection, but also a sense of moving on. “If I want to grow as an artist, I have to learn how to write when I’m in a better place, too,” she says in the announce.

Released via Nettwerk on February 5th, Flower Face will preview the material with a sold out how at London’ Lower Third on November 18th.

Celestial alt-folk single ‘Better The Devil’ is out now, and its hushed sonics lean in to broader traits on the album as a whole.

A powerful, poetic work, it’s redolent of winter introspection during the dark Montreal nights. The songwriter comments…

I remember so vividly the moment I wrote this song. I was walking home from the metro station after spending the day at my producer Marcus’s studio working on the finishing touches of my last album. I was living alone, and I had spent the better part of the last year isolating myself as much as possible (when I wasn’t partying or pursuing awful, destructive relationships). My friends had all started a sobriety kick on January 1st, which I wasn’t inclined to join. It was the dead of winter, the worst time of year, when the sun sets at 4pm, and I spent most evenings counting down the minutes until I could go to sleep. That night a friend was supposed to stay over, but she canceled, and I knew it was because she was pursuing her own awful, destructive on-and-off relationship. Everything felt so bleak. I got home with my nose running and my hands numb and sat down in the dark in my studio and wrote this song…

It’s hard for me to listen to this song, even now. I feel so sad for that small, scared, trapped person that I was. I couldn’t see a way out. We saved some parts of that original demo I recorded in the moment, because they were so raw, painful, and unflinching. It felt like the first time I was really reckoning with myself and the downward freefall I had found myself in. Really, it felt like the first time I was being fully honest in a song.

Tune in now.
