Johanna Warren's music has always existed in its own world — intimate, expansive, and quietly transformative. Across six acclaimed albums, she's built a body of work that blurs the lines between folk, indie rock, experimental, and psychedelic, earning praise from Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, and The New York Times.
Born in St. Petersburg, Florida, Warren spent years on the road — touring alongside Mitski, Iron & Wine, and Julie Byrne — before eventually settling in rural Wales, where she now forages wild plants, practices herbalism, and makes music on her own terms. Her records have always followed their own logic: Gemini I & II (Carpark/Wax Nine) explored a turbulent relationship through an occult lens; Chaotic Good pushed into grungier, self-produced territory; and Lessons for Mutants (2022) found her at her most searching and uncompromising.
Her work extends well beyond the recording studio. She co-directed the video for “Twisted,” which won Best Music Video at the Portland Film Festival, voiced a character on Netflix’s The Midnight Gospel, and composed and starred in a theatrical adaptation of Euripides’ The Bacchae, developed at Harvard’s Center for Hellenic Studies and the University of Bristol. Whatever form it takes, Warren makes art like her life depends on it.
“Heartbreaking and stirring.”— Pitchfork
“A minutely examined and revelatory emotional upheaval, a view of a failed romance sung with meditative grace.”— The New York Times
“The spirit that animates much of Warren's music and philosophy — an enduring belief that we can be better, despite the hurt and despair we put each other and ourselves through.”— NPR
“A luminous folk fantasia.”— Stereogum
“Like Elliott Smith, she's interested in the depths of human relationships and the forces that can poison them unseen.”— Consequence of Sound
