Roodkapje x Rotown presents: Bria Salmena
For fans of: Sharon van Etten, Blondshell, Lucy Dacus, Cat Power
Long celebrated as the frontwoman of Canadian post-punk band FRIGS and vocalist in Orville Peck’s live band, Bria Salmena is now forging her own path. With a powerful, fearless voice that shifts effortlessly between tender and raw, she carries her alternative, genre-bending pop songs that celebrate vulnerability and connection. In her solo work, Salmena steps fully into the spotlight as an artist who claims her own space with a distinctive, uncompromising sound.
Her upcoming debut album, Big Dog, is a story of transformation—a deeply personal exploration of resilience and a bold declaration of artistic independence. Bursting with big emotions and equally big ambitions, the album fuses hypnotic krautrock and dreamy shoegaze with lush goth influences, pulsating darkwave, and subtle electronic textures. Within this rich sonic landscape, Salmena’s haunting lyrics and mesmerizing vocals take center stage.
