Flip Grater

Flip Grater is a New Zealand-born singer-songwriter, musician, and author known for her hauntingly poetic folk-noir sound and minimalist storytelling. Emerging in the mid-2000s, she crafts intimate, introspective songs blending acoustic textures with literary lyricism, often drawing comparisons to artists like Cat Power or Agnes Obel. Her work spans themes of love, displacement, and quiet rebellion, mirrored in releases like *While I’m Awake I’m At War* and *Cage for a Song*. Grater’s life mirrors her art’s nomadic spirit—she’s split time between New Zealand, France, and Portugal, with tracks like *Dors Mon Bebe* and *Pigalle* reflecting her Francophone influences. Beyond music, she’s also a published writer, notably blending recipes and memoir in her book *Cooking with Umbrellas*. Her recent output, including *Lullabies for Anaïs*, continues her tradition of crafting hushed, atmospheric vignettes that feel like whispered secrets.
