Frontperson

Frontperson is a Canadian indie pop duo, consisting of Kathryn Calder of Immaculate Machine and The New Pornographers, and Mark Andrew Hamilton of Woodpigeon.[1]

Calder and Hamilton met each other for the first time in the hallway at a studio where Calder's husband, Colin Stewart, was recording with Woodpigeon.[2] They released their first album, Frontrunner, in 2018.[3] The album, recorded at the National Music Centre in Calgary, Alberta, was supported by the single "Tick Tock (Frontrunner)", whose video was collated from clips of athletes played in reverse.[4]

Their second album, Parade, was released in April 2022.[2] The album's release was preceded by the release of two preview singles, the title track in February[5] and "Ostalgie (Für C. Bischoff)" in March.[6]
