Steph Green
ABOUT
Steph Green's music is for those who fancy the art of songwriting, depicting a lonely world illuminated by strangeness and beauty. Her sound blends elements of folk, dream pop, and indie rock, and her lyrics reveal an affecting and arresting storyteller. A spirit of independence and experimentation characterize Green’s approach to music, with all of her releases featuring her in the roles of producer and multi-instrumentalist.
Green's haunting sophomore album, Lore, is a series of vignettes that immerse the listener in dreams and nightmares of the West. It's a world where the natural and supernatural collide, wailing spirits wander lost highways, and shapeshifting starling murmurations soar overhead of restless loners. Green produced and recorded Lore at home on a borrowed 16-track reel-to-reel, and the collection of tales are enveloped by a distinctive and otherworldly sound, with weeping steel guitar, washy organ, and ghostly vocal layering reverberating from a distant dimension. Out now, Lore is a rugged, eerie, and wild homage to both a real and imagined place.
Green started out as a traveling street musician before the chance acquisition of a cassette 4-track led her to start writing and recording her own songs, and she has since released two EPs (2019's Salt Spring Island Tapes and Spooky Love) and two full-length albums (her kaleidoscopic debut album, Thanks for That was released in 2022). Along with the October 2023 release of Lore, the past year saw her captivating live audiences on co-headline tours across the US and Canada, along with performances in Europe. In addition to her own project, Green has performed as a backing musician and vocalist for numerous other songwriters over the years, appearing most recently on recordings for Duff Thompson and Dean Johnson.
