BIO
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 latest album ‘Dryas’ was released on Lost Map Records on May 30th, 2025. 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.
Alongside Hailey Beavis, Eliott is also the co-founder of OK Pal Records, an independent, artist-led record label and promoter based in Edinburgh.
