Bria Salmena's debut solo album Big Dog chronicles a story of transformation-a deeply personal exploration of resilience and a declaration of artistic independence forged through collaboration. Long celebrated as the frontwoman of Canadian post-punk outfit FRIGS and as a vocalist in Orville Peck's live band, Salmena culminates her artistic evolution on Big Dog. Anchored by her commanding voice-alternately tender, raw, and defiant-the album traverses the terrain of vulnerability and connection, marking the arrival of an artist boldly coming into her own.

Big Dog is a record of big emotions and big ambitions. Musically, the record takes elements of hypnotic krautrock and shimmery shoegaze, opulent goth and pulsing darkwave, with a smearing of electronic textures for a sophisticated and often uncanny sound. Amidst this vast sonic landscape, Salmena's potent lyrical imagery and gorgeous vocals stand dead center, perfectly in focus.  For Salmena, it is impossible to unlink the personal journey represented by Big Dog from the collaborative relationships that went into it's creation.
