Elissa Mielke is a singer/songwriter and composer from the foresty bits of Dundas, Ontario. Her most recent EP Mouse followed acclaim from Pitchfork who called her voice “oceanic.. an immense ocean of an instrument, as complex in its sweetness as raw honey,” and Rolling Stone, who drew parallels to Taylor Swift’s Folklore, praising Elissa’s vocals and songwriting: “Mielke keeps her arrangements sparse, utilizing mostly piano and guitar… allowing her dominant instrument — that richly textured voice that can evoke love, heartbreak, and nostalgia — to take the spotlight.”Elissa’s secular hymns are inspired by great storytellers like Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell, Lucinda Williams, and Carole King.
