Joanne Robertson is a musician and painter.
Joanne collaborates regularly with her friends, most recently with Dean Blunt on ‘Backstage Raver’, and Sidsel Meineche Hansen on ‘Alien Baby’. She moved to Glasgow in 2018, after having lived in London. Her painting and music both form from improvisatory moments of expression. ‘Blue Car’ is a collection of songs from her archive of unreleased solo recordings. Similar to ‘Painting Stupid Girls’, these tracks attempt to record the moment, and where she was at emotionally that day, similar to diary entries. The dates she wrote these songs is unknown, they span roughly a ten year period.
Upcoming solo record ‘Blurrr’ is to be released on AD 93 in September 2025.
Dear Nora
Dear Nora är ett amerikanskt indiepopband från Portland, bildat 1999 av Katy Davidson tillsammans med Marianna Ritchey och Ryan Wise. Bandet fick sitt namn efter musikprofessorn Nora Beck och debuterade 2001 med albumet We’ll Have a Time.
Efter en flytt till San Francisco fortsatte Davidson projektet med olika medlemmar och släppte ytterligare album som Mountain Rock (2004) och There Is No Home (2006), samtidigt som de turnerade flitigt.
Efter några års uppehåll återupplivades Dear Nora 2017 och har sedan dess fortsatt att släppa ny musik, bland annat albumen Skulls Example (2018) och human futures (2022). Med sitt personliga låtskrivande och lo-fi-doftande sound har Dear Nora blivit en uppskattad akt inom den amerikanska indiescenen.
