Heather Trost

Prior to beginning a solo career, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Heather Trost contributed to a number of interesting experimental indie rock and folk projects in the 2000s and beyond, most notably as one-half of the acclaimed Balkan-inspired folk-rock duo A Hawk and a Hacksaw. In 2017, she released her full-length solo debut, Agistri, playing various different instruments and veering into psychedelia and loungey space pop sounds. Further records made slight adjustments to the template -- 2020's Petrichor added dreamy folk introspection and 2022's Desert Flowers used more innocent psychedelia -- while tracking her continuing growth as a producer and artist.
