SUMMARY:Forensis Album Release
DESCRIPTION:Instructions for the murder mystery will be given upon entry. Cocktail attire suggested. \n\n\n\nAbout Loch Nisse Monster: \n\n\n\nLoch Nisse Monster rose from the swamps of an Ottawa 70’s-themed house party\, where in a haze the musician was told that her name sounded like the famous monster of Loch Ness. Nisse brings the folky vibe of this mysterious creature to the music\, telling stories and painting emotions. Along with inspiration from the genres of rock\, pop\, and punk\, the “monster” in Loch Nisse Monster doesn’t hesitate to get at ironic and unjust truths. Yet\, with the hope of tales\, Loch Nisse Monster longs to share her music and express things in ways that haven’t been before with the desire to make people feel seen through her song. \n\n\n\nLoch Nisse plays solo\, in ensemble\, or with her trusty band\, who are featured on all recordings to date: Laetitia Lemieux on lead guitar\, Griffin Nguyen on bass\, Chloe Martin on drums\, and Robyn Lichaa on the fiddle. \n\n\n\nAbout hannah vig: \n\n\n\nSince her onstage debut in 2022\, Hannah Vig has been making waves in Ottawa’s music scene. Releasing a debut single and E.P. in 2023 and winning OMIC’s Capital Music Award for Newcomer of the Year in 2024\, Vig has made a name for herself as Ottaw’s sensitive\, sapphic\, singer-songwriter. Originally known for intimate and emotive acoustic performances\, Vig has been joined by a backing band since August 2023. Bringing her rock influences to the fore\, Vig’s soulful voice soars on songs evoking the likes of Boygenius and Olivia Rodrigo. Currently consisting of Eric Montpool (lead guitar)\, Matthew Scharfe (bass)\, and Brendan Vandepol (drums)\, the band adds an exciting energy to her already dynamic sound and hard-hitting lyrics. \n\n\n\nAbout Annie Martel: \n\n\n\nAnnie Martel is a Canadian singer-songwriter and one of Ottawa’s jewels. Martel’s sincere\, contemplative songs are anointed by her unequivocal voice and thoughtful musical style. She has a special way of engaging with complex human themes through her music\, finding healing and release in the magic of songwriting and offering listeners the same opportunity. Annie will be accompanied by her local star-studded band\, whose lush arrangements and skillful sounds elevate each song with poise (& a little bit of rock n’ roll). Having been part of the local music scene for nearly a decade\, Annie is looking forward to ~finally~ releasing her debut album in the coming months – stay tuned! \n\n\n\nMore about Forensis\, the album: \n\n\n\nForensis\, Loch Nisse Monster’s debut album\, is a concept record based around the idea of a murder investigation as a metaphor for a breakup. Forensis is the Latin word for “the forum” or “public affairs\,” but also connects to forensic psychology on a crime scene\, or alternatively\, becomes a representation of the broader uncovering of the truth. The record brings out the following themes relating to the Forensis concept: reluctance of falling in love\, expectations in love\, stages of grief and reckoning in heartbreak\, estrangement\, womanhood and fame\, coming of age\, and existentialism.
