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.

Eliott’s most recent album, dryas, came out on May 30th, 2025 via Lost Map Records. Since its release, Eliott has been actively touring across the UK, including support slots for James Yorkston & Nina Persson (The Cardigans) and Stick in the Wheel. Made possible with support from Creative Scotland and the PRS Women Make Music fund, dryas has been widely praised, with coverage in The List and The Scotsman, longlisted for the SAY Award, nominated for the SAMA award under the Best Acoustic category & included in The List’s ‘Hot 100’ for 2025.

The album follows two earlier releases, Impossible Bodies (2019, OK Pal Records) and Insects (2016, Song, by Toad Records), both of which received strong reviews and national radio play on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction, and BBC 6 Music.

Alongside Hailey Beavis, Eliott is also the co-founder of OK Pal Records, an independent, artist-led record label and promoter based in Edinburgh.

"[Eliott] will surely be championed for years to come as one of the finest lyricists of their generation."
