Anachnid

Winner of the 2021 Félix Award for Indigenous Artist of the Year and winner of the 2019 SOCAN Foundation Indigenous Songwriter of the Year Award, Anachnid is a Montreal-based Oji-Cree multidisciplinary artist. Her spirit animal, the spider, has eight legs, and she embodies many complex personalities on stage and in life: venomous spirit, young woman in love, caring grandmother… Her debut album Dreamweaver, released in February 2020, was nominated on the Polaris long list for pop-alternative album, electronic hip-hop album and artist of the year at the Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Awards as well as for ADISQ English album of the year. Her music is a sensual hybrid of electro-pop, trap, indie, soul and hip hop, with delicate and complex sound textures evocative of her ancestral cultures. Nearly two years after the release of her debut album, she releases two new singles: Live Alone and Love Alone, which reveal a new side of the artist, an isolated, unfiltered Anachnid, creating an alternative pop anthem, with a touch of grunge, and spitting raw poetry with a touch of dark humor. On stage, she delivers an immersive experience with a quiet strength and communicates her sensitivity, bringing us into her intimate and symbolic universe.
