Romanian-born, Vancouver-bred Stefana Fratila is only 23 years old and probably more accomplished than you.
She is a folk-pop musician turned electronic producer, a political-science student working toward her master’s degree, and a feminist artist with a mind as uniquely bright as her red lipstick and matching ladybug earrings. And yet Fratila sees herself as something of an outsider in Vancouver’s music scene, even though she has just released one of the most compelling local records of the year.
“The very weirdness of existing as a young woman in this society makes me make weird music,” says Fratila of Efemera, her third album and first output as a solo electronic artist. “When I listen to this record, it sounds like the most bizarre electronic music to me. Some of the songs are written in two time signatures at once and overlaid so that they rotate in timing.”
