………………ARTIST BIO
Fiona Fiasco, born in the Swiss Alps, grew up speaking the Romansh language. Her nature-filled childhood shapes her music — playful, cinematic, evoking misty mountain villages. Influenced by folk songs and local radio, she began songwriting rooted in the past. Through her SoundArt-Studies, Fiasco gained a more artistic approach to making music, resulting in the deeply evocative debut EP ‘Blue Rider, Blue Faced’. In November 2025, Fiona Fiasco introduced her world with striking clarity through the first single Stacy: A conversation with a ghost friend, a playful séance that earned lots of praise since. The song was joined in January by an Americana-tinged folk desert named ‘Wasteland’, and finally, on February 27th, by the 6 Track EP ‘Blue Rider, Blue Faced’. The EP flickers and shimmers eclectically, yet remains cohesive without drawing an obvious thread through everything. Listening to the EP, you often find yourself in a gently bewildered state. The songs almost seem to wave at you, like gentle spirits passing through. They invite you in for tea or to hover alongside them for a brief moment.

With “Blue Rider, Blue Faced” Fiona Fiasco creates sonic assemblages, glimpses of a world that feels familiar and yet always slips just slightly out of reach. A shimmering sense of ghostliness runs through the atmosphere, the instrumentation, and the lyrics alike.
It feels as though you are inhabiting several rooms at once, with new details catching your attention again and again. The band plays in the lobby of an old hotel. Then the scene fades, and suddenly is on a country road bordered by meadow and forest. Everything is beautiful and slightly strange at the same time. Something new keeps emerging, or perhaps it has been there all along.
The music itself emerged from that same energy. Throughout the process, thoughts, words, and sounds were collected. Words were assembled and arranged before there was any clear story. Sounds sprouted and skipped into being, allowing images and meanings to grow with an organic liveliness. The music does not smooth itself into abstraction. It preserves the vitality of its making and carries that process within it.
The EP was recorded over the past year and a half in various locations and produced by Fiasco herself together with Simon Boss and Lukas Kuprecht. As within the songs themselves, fragments joined with fragments. One track recorded entirely on tape in a Zurich Art Space. The others came together in a secluded house in Ticino and finished in a triangle of Zurich’s Suburbs.
Listening to the EP, you often find yourself in a gently bewildered state. The music offers a bouquet of possibilities from which you can choose your own images and associations. While it frequently highlights moments of beauty and calm, there are also flashes of unease or quiet melancholy.
