Eliza Niemi releases “Progress Bakery”

Toronto-based rising artist Eliza Niemi today released her stunning, ethereal new album Progress Bakery via Tin Angel Records. The follow-up to her 2022 debut LP Staying Mellow Blows–which was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize–was recorded with Louie Short, who co-produced the LP along with Niemi, Jeremy Ray and Lukas Cheung (Mother Tongues). In addition to her own work as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (primarily cello, as well as keys, bass, and guitar), Niemi enlisted help throughout Progress Bakery from her local community, including: drums by Evan Cartwright (Cola, Jennifer Castle, Andy Shauf); vocals by Dorothea Paas (U.S. Girls, Fucked Up); keys by Kenny Boothby (Little Kid); and percussion by Ed Squires (U.S. Girls), among others.
