Sister Ray returns following her Juno-nominated, Polaris Prize long-listed album with “Chewing On The Rind,” a raw and introspective new single. Built around the quiet unraveling of trust, the track explores asymmetrical devotion and what it means to believe in someone simply because they told you to. Blending emotional clarity with lyrical ambiguity, it questions permanence, perspective, and whether connection was ever mutual at all.
Born and raised in the Alberta prairies of Sturgeon County, and now based in Toronto, the 29-year-old artist earned widespread attention with their acclaimed debut effort, Communion and follow up EP, Teeth. If Communion was fueled with an intentional sense of urgency, for their songwriting to serve as a vehicle for excavating revelations in motion, Believer yearns in a different direction. It rings with the certainty that self-assurance is cultivated through the cracks of discomfort.
