The Great Escape Artist Q + A :: Mozart's Sister

Continuing our Great Escape festival artist previews of must see acts, we next take time out with Mozart's Sister.

Mozart’s Sister is the solo project of Montreal’s Caila Thompson-Hannant. Glittery, colourful, 90s dance pop with an underlying strain of brittle, claustrophobic energy. 'Field of Love', her new album, is the follow-up to her 2014 critically acclaimed debut 'Being'.
