Faith Eliott
Faith Eliott (they/them) is a songwriter and visual artist currently based in Glasgow. They grew up in Minneapolis and relocated with their family to Scotland aged 13.
Faith’s debut LP Impossible Bodies was released on April 19th, 2019 via OK Pal Records. The record was in part inspired by Faith’s interest in medieval bestiaries, which are illustrated compendiums of animals. Each entry in a bestiary depicts an animal and is accompanied by a meaning or a lesson that it symbolises. Impossible Bodies is based on the same framework, with each song represented by a different creature. These stories are set to an atmospheric mix of finger-picking guitar, strings, electric guitar and percussion. Sometimes swirling and aquatic, sometimes doomy, and sometimes more patently ‘folk’.
Impossible Bodies has been received to critical acclaim and broadcast on BBC Radio 3, 4, and 6Music.
