Sierra Lundy

Sierra Lundy is a Canadian singer, songwriter, beekeeper, and visual artist from Salt Spring Island. After years of touring and making music as one half of folk duo Ocie Elliott, Lundy has coaxed her three-song solo project, first released in 2020, out of hibernation with the promise that it doesn’t have to be perfect; it doesn’t have to be anything at all. Taking off from a tarmac with no destination, no apologies, and no plans to be home in time for dinner, Lundy landed in Maple Ridge with producer Jon Anderson to shoot the shit and press record. The seven songs that emerged are warm and weathered, romantic without being particularly well-behaved, and occasionally a little fucked up: a piano purring itself to sleep while monster guitars growl from under the bed, up at cotton-candy clouds of harmonies navigating janky time signatures and elements that don’t particularly belong together but make peace for the sake of the song. Drawn to the beauty of beat-up things and curious about what they’ve survived, Lundy tosses rules around on the playground, turning over love, grief, restlessness, bad ideas, good people, disappearing acts, and phantom cages, looking for something to crack.
