Tess Roby PathWatch at the source

Tess Roby’s explorative brand of electronic music is unique and visionary. Born in Toronto and now based in Montreal, Roby is a classically trained musician and photographer. On her sophomore album, Ideas of Space, Roby acts as songwriter, producer, musician, music video director; and the album will be released on her own label, SSURROUNDSS. Her songs ride the lines between pop, ambient and alternative folk structures, with emphasis on voice as instrument. Her lyrics drift between dreams and memories, and are brought to life by the rich intimacy of her voice. Circling loops of synth rise alongside interweaving vocal patterns, effortlessly creating minimal yet complex soundscapes.
