Brian Borcherdt

BRIAN BORCHERDT began playing music in rural Nova Scotia where he founded the not-for-profit collaborative label, Dependent Music. After a few years with Canadian indie pioneers BY DIVINE RIGHT, Brian went off on his own to pursue two projects: the world touring, Polaris / Juno nominated HOLY FUCK as well as his own solo career.

Brian’s side project, Holy Fuck, has become recognized across continents as being one of Canada’s influential alt-electronic bands with fans such as Lou Reed, Michael Stipe and Radiohead. While Brian’s solo career is worlds apart from the experimental Holy Fuck; both show a bold focus… where Holy Fuck is uncompromising in its weirdo beat driven noise, his solo work is uncompromising in its sparse and moody aesthetic.
