ABOUT THIS ARTIST

Once described as “Kate Bush’s gothic darkness brought to the edge of oblivion”, the enigmatic and provocative New Yorker Heather Elle knows that a key component of the artistic process is the tedious and uncomfortable excavation of self. Hence the moniker FLOSSING.

In 2020, Heather was suddenly thrown from touring in two buzzy post-punk groups — Bodega and The Wants — and into a dizzying state of overdue decompression. Aching to artistically progress, they departed from the two bands, left a long-term relationship, and quickly began writing and recording songs at home. They dug up old ideas and unexpectedly wrote a new song — the hedonistic and confessional debut single “Switch” — which pushed them to take the project further. The following year, with help from Trout Recording’s Adam Sachs (Swans, Amen Dunes, Joan As Policewoman) and London’s Brace Yourself Records, the debut EP ‘Queen of the Mall’ was released to critical acclaim, describing Heather as a “mischievous pop poet” and the “newly appointed master of psychological provocative.”

In March, they released the bold and unapologetic single “Men on the Menu”, and with it, came out as Queer. The live act has landed as a power duo with drummer James Maclay (Chairlift, Frankie Rose) with the pair reconfiguring the songs to lean towards a more industrial and experimental sound. Flossing will finally hit the stage for the first time in spring 2022, leading up to the summer release of a sophomore EP.
