**Elfin Saddle** was a Canadian experimental folk duo formed by multi-instrumentalists Emi Honda and Jordan McKenzie. Active in the late 2000s and early 2010s, the Montreal-based pair blended whimsical, handmade artistry with lush, organic soundscapes. Their work fused elements of indie folk, post-rock, and avant-garde music, often incorporating unconventional instruments like homemade percussion, accordion, and found objects. Releases like *Wurld* (2010) and *Ringing For The Begin Again* (2008) showcased their knack for earthy, narrative-driven compositions that felt both intimate and otherworldly. Honda’s delicate vocals (often in Japanese) and McKenzie’s gritty instrumentation created a striking contrast, anchored by themes of nature, decay, and human connection. Though they’ve been quiet in recent years, their catalog remains a cult favorite for fans of art-folk oddities.
