Tess Roby
A classically trained musician and photographer, Montreal-based artist Tess Roby makes an explorative, pensive brand of indie rock rooted in ambient textures and synthesized sounds. After working with Italians Do It Better on her 2018 debut Beacon, Roby launched her own imprint, SSURROUNDSS, for her 2022 album Ideas of Space.
Roby was born in Toronto in 1993 and spent time in the Canadian Children's Opera Company before she began experimenting with guitars, synths, and drum machines from her father's recording studio for her solo work. A reference to an 18th century watch tower called Ashurst's Beacon in Dalton, England, her debut album, Beacon, was written in 2015 following the death of her father, who was from the area. Recorded by Tess along with her brother, Eliot Roby, it was released by the Italians Do It Better label in 2018. In 2022, Roby's second album, Ideas of Space, was issued on her own imprint SSURROUNDSS. Ideas of Space expanded Roby's sound, tying in elements of folk songwriting and layered electronic production with her dreamlike approach to pop.
