Flower Face

Flower Face is the moniker of Montreal songwriter and visual artist Ruby McKinnon. From early bedroom goth-folk to a more cinematic, genre-fluid indie, her path runs through Fever Dreams (2017), Baby Teeth (2018), The Shark in Your Water (2022) and Girl Prometheus (2024). Across these records she refines a narrative way of writing, pairing a close, unadorned voice with guitar, piano and discreet electronics. Her songs turn heartbreak and recovery into intimate sketches, built on calm dynamics and careful arrangements.

On 18 November 2026 at The Lower Third in London, she brings this world to the stage. The set weaves the lo-fi intimacy of her beginnings with fuller, filmic textures, shifting from hushed folk to taut pop without losing clarity. New pieces from Girl Prometheus push the production and pacing, while songs from The Shark in Your Water highlight the gradual melodic arcs and clear hooks that shape her writing. Noticed by outlets like Stereogum and Paste, Flower Face keeps the focus on craft and atmosphere, with restrained gestures and storytelling that stays close to the listener.
