Faith Healer is a Canadian indie rock band from Edmonton, Alberta, whose core member is singer and songwriter Jessica Jalbert.[1] Another long-time member is singer-songwriter, producer and recording engineer Renny Wilson.
History[edit]
Jalbert first collaborated with Wilson on her solo debut album Brother Loyola in 2011,[2] before deciding to adopt the band name Faith Healer as she did not want her music to be pigeonholed as singer-songwriter pop.[3]
The band’s debut album Cosmic Troubles was released March 31, 2015 on Mint Records.[2] The album was met with positive reviews from Pitchfork[4] and Exclaim!.[5] Wilson played several instruments on the album and created a number of the arrangements.[6]
Jalbert and Wilson recorded their second album, Try 😉, in Montreal. It was released in September 2017.[7][8] The pair added Jenni Roberts and Mitch Holtby to create a complete band; the group performed at the 2017 Pop Montreal Festival.[9] The album was longlisted for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.[10] Additional band members include Ross Faulder and Connor Donaldson.
