Hero Fisher

Raised in small village just outside of Paris, Fisher grew up in a family of craftsmen - her Australian-born mother and father are a potter and illustrator respectively, while her sister is a weaver. After dropping out of art-school in her late teens, Fisher holed up in her bedroom and recorded her first experiments in music on a four-track recorder, fuelled by a love of Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley and Leonard Cohen. Held back by a sense that sharing her songs with the world was "irrelevant and indulgent", the fiercely self-protective Fisher bounced between France, Australia and the UK for most of her young life, playing residencies in Parisian bars and waitressing to pay the bills.
Fisher dropped the strident debut Delivery in 2015, a record with a three-year-long gestation period and a title to match. A summation of a decade’s worth of bedroom songwriting, it was a musical catharsis that’s now given way to lighter and more positive horizons in her songwriting.
Hero forthcoming album Glue Moon is thematically cohesive, atmospheric dramatics are rooted in a world drawn from musical heroes as much as literary ones. She namechecks Frank Zappa as a big inspiration alongside Paul Giovanni’s soundtrack to the 19723 film The Wickerman , Black Sabbath, John Frusciante and Moomin-creator Tove Jansson’s novel The Summer Book. “The delicacy, rawness and spontaneity of Nick Cave’s Push The Sky Away also really charmed me,”
