Aloysius Bell (a·lo·wish·us bell) is the alter ego of Winnipeg-born, Montreal-based singer-songwriter Annick Brémault. While her name is a nod to the male pseudonyms of the iconic Brontë sisters, Aloysius Bell is a persona born from intense soul-searching who aims to shed light on murky, in-between spaces.
Aloysius Bell’s debut EP Warm Thing will be unveiled on February 2nd, produced with multi-disciplinary Toronto artist Driftnote (Korea Town Acid, R. Flex) and mixed by David Plowman (July Talk, Dillan Ponders). Born from the interplay of otherworldly realms and her imagination, she artlessly melds her distinctive songwriting with pop, RnB and electro influences.
“Sometimes you just don’t get along with your person and you have to vent,” Brémault remarks about the universal sentiment that resulted in the soulful track “Wreckage” after an argument with her partner. “I guess I find it funny how we can become so petulant and childish in times of conflict with the people we love – in the moment you can be furious and the next day you can barely remember why.” Warm Thing reveals both the poetic and the ugly. “I feel like every time we go into that kind of vulnerability as artists, we signal to other people that they can too. We normalize it and make it accessible.”
