Skribe

Skribe is the solo project of Canadian musician Alden Penner, known for his raw, lo-fi indie folk sound and DIY ethos. A founding member of cult indie bands like The Unicorns and Clues, Penner channels his experimental streak into Skribe’s intimate recordings—think stripped-down acoustic warmth meets tape-hiss charm. His recent releases, like *Garage Folk (live to tape)* and *miracles of alchemy*, lean into unpolished, living-room vibes, blending wistful lyrics with fingerpicked guitar and subtle psychedelic textures. Tracks such as *Flies In The Kitchen* and *Ferris Wheel* showcase his knack for turning mundane moments into poetic musings, while albums like *Big Nothing* and *Less Is More* double as mission statements for his minimalist approach. Whether whispering confessions or leaning into fuzzy folk-rock rippers, Skribe feels like flipping through a journal full of half-scribbled secrets and backyard daydreams.
