Event information

Divine Schism welcome Faith Eliott back to Oxford after quite a few years alongside leather.head songwriter Toby Evans-Jesra and Letterlocked, the wonderful queer folk project of Jen Meyer and Josie Turner.

We're excited to be running an early evening show (6-9pm) in the Yard at Modern Art Oxford!

Faith Eliott is a songwriter and visual artist. Born in Minneapolis, they moved to Scotland nearly two decades ago.

Through storytelling and world-building, they illustrate intuitive landscapes populated by hagfish, Pleistocene volcanoes, cursed memes, and late-Renaissance apocryphal monsters lurking in the aisles of Asda. Sonically, Eliott grounds themself in a stripped-back, lyric-driven songwriting approach that evolves through the recording process to incorporate orchestral elements—often contributed by frequent collaborator Robyn Dawson—along with electronic textures and found sounds.

Their forthcoming album ‘dryas’ is out on May 30th via Lost Map Records. It follows two previous releases, ‘Impossible Bodies’ (2019, OK Pal Records) and ‘Insects’ (2016, Song, by Toad Records), both of which received critical acclaim, including coverage from The List and The Scotsman, as well as national radio play on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction, and 6Music.
