Actor Director (2022)
Saskatoon, SK
Electro-pop duo Actor Director is made up of Emily Kohlert, who has played in numerous indie pop and folk acts, and Jared Beattie, whose musical experience skews towards post-rock and garage-rock. Together, though, they take the brimming melodies of ‘80s acts like Yaz and Eurythmics while weaving in off-kilter elements more akin to Gary Numan or Laurie Anderson. Get a taste for yourself with singles “Dear Friend” and “Gold.”
