Flower Face

Canadian musician Flower Face, a rising figure in goth-folk, stops at Hasard Ludique for a series of intimate concerts. A rare opportunity to discover her melancholic and poetic world on stage.

Catherine McCandless, better known as Flower Face, is a Canadian artist who has forged a distinctive sound at the crossroads of independent pop rock and gothic-tinged folk. Active since the mid-2010s, she first made her name with self-released productions, notably the album "Gardens" in 2018, which laid the foundations of her sonic aesthetic. Her music is characterised by often ethereal melodies, carried by a soft and expressive voice, and introspective lyrics exploring themes such as vulnerability, loss and the dark beauty of existence. She has created a unique atmosphere, sometimes compared to artists such as Phoebe Bridgers or Julien Baker, while retaining an identity of her own.

Her career took a significant turn with the release of "The Shark in Your Water" in 2022, an album that consolidated her reputation and widened her audience. Tracks such as "Cornflower Blue" or "Pisces Moon" perfectly illustrate her ability to weave personal narratives with delicate yet powerful instrumentation. Flower Face excels at creating atmospheres that oscillate between fragility and a quiet strength, captivating the listener with the sincerity of her compositions. Her songs are often built around stripped-back arrangements, leaving ample room for the raw emotion conveyed by her voice and lyrics.

On stage, Flower Face is renowned for the intensity and authenticity of her performances. The live experience promises immersion in her musical world, where melancholy blends with a certain form of hope. Audiences can expect a faithful and heartfelt interpretation of her pieces, highlighting the depth of her songwriting and the subtlety of her arrangements. Hasard Ludique, known for its friendly atmosphere and its closeness to artists, offers an ideal setting in which to appreciate the delicacy and emotional power of Flower Face on this stop in Paris.
