Pick a Piper is a Toronto-based electronica duo consisting of longtime Caribou touring drummer Brad Weber and vocalist/songwriter Sophia Alexandra. Their music pairs catchy, ethereal vocals with warm synths, upbeat percussion, and a distinctive sense of sound design that feels both grounded and vulnerable. Their new album, Dandelion, explores how we exist in the space between opposing feelings while calling for resilience and the courage to recognize that growth is possible and inherently beautiful, even in life’s most difficult experiences. The record employs skippy beats, bass-heavy kicks, hearty subs, hyperactive percussion, and woozy synths — all within a lovingly human-curated feel. Dandelion will be released by the Toronto-based label Halocline Trance. The duo’s live show is an intoxicating blend of vibrant physicality and immersive lights and visuals, creating an experience that is both danceable and hypnotic. Pulsing with momentum, vocally driven and haunting, it radiates a charisma that unites the band and audience in cathartic release. Pick a Piper has toured across Europe, the US, Canada, Guatemala, and Colombia, and has shared the bill with acts such as Bonobo, Gold Panda, Blue Hawaii, Do Make Say Think, Ghetto Kumbe, Rich Aucoin, Braids, and Factory Floor.
