Charlotte Cornfield

Bio

After coming of age amid vibrant DIY scenes in her hometown Toronto, and forming lasting bonds in the music program at Montreal’s Concordia University, Charlotte Cornfield knew that her new album Highs In The Minuses needed a cast that was representative of her journey—those friends and colleagues who’ve helped her become the writer and player she is. Though the songs of Highs in the Minuses—her debut release on Polyvinyl and Double Double Whammy—are highly personal, Cornfield wanted their sonic quality to convey the communal energy of the live performance. “I knew everyone was coming in prepared, but I was excited to see what was going to happen spontaneously, and those ideas that happened really quickly,” Cornfield says. “It was so much about trusting who I was with and trying to capture the immediacy of the emotions in the songs.”
