Marathon | Bria Salmena, From FRIGS to Orville Pecks’Band to a SUB Pop Record Deal

Interview by Alain Brunet
Genres and styles : Alt-Pop / Americana / Post-Punk

Additional Information

Bria Salmena’s craft is not about stylistic purity style neither straight ahead music. From post-punk jouneys through alt-country getaways, she is where we may don’t expect her. Most of us knew her performing with Canadian experimental post-punk group FRIGS, which she co-founded with Duncan Hay Jennings. Both of them joined Orville Peck for a few years. During the pandemic Salmena and Jennings managed to recorded two very cool country / americana covers EPs. Those recordings were released on Sub Pop, as well as the Bria’s single called “Bending Over Backwards” which preceed a whole album planned for 2025. Coming in Montreal at L’Esco on Saturday November 23, Bria spoke a few minutes with Alain Brunet.
