Indie Rock Project, Child Actress, Releases Triumphant Song, “Fruit Flies”

For Rena Kozak, writing music is a compulsion. It’s a cathartic swell that offers a sanctuary to the overbearing nature of our emotions, crafting a liminal space where the feelings we can’t explain are expressed with limitless reverie. As Child Actress, she toes the line between a tangible reality and an infinite universe, and it’s on new album Ancestor Worship that these worlds collide to craft an iridescent collage. Shadow, light and the gauze of the inbetween are embraced with curiosity, where she asks of an existence that can amass all three.

Child Actress has been a staple of the Canadian music scene for years. While Calgary was her initial foundation, her move to Montreal in 2017 solidified her work not just as a performer and songwriter, but as a sought-out producer and mixing engineer. Her debut albumMilking a Dead Cow(2017) garnered acclaim for its lo-fi dreamy pop with the darkened lyrical undertones that make for a stifling, all-engrossing experience. 2020 saw the release of follow-up full-length ImprovWill Not Improve You As A Person, while a plethora of EPs and singles have adorned the Child Actress discography.
