Corey Gulkin

Corey Gulkin revels in the peculiar and makes it feel like home. Emerging from the world of folk music, the Montreal guitarist and songwriter has spent the last decade gradually carving a path towards experimentation and emotional transformation, composing a sneaky opus in the process. After shedding a familiar pseudonym in favour of their own name, they released All the Things I’ll Forget. This deeply intimate concept album translated and transformed their experience in an abusive relationship through a trio of harp, banjo and electric guitar. 

Coming off the heels of All the Things with a newfound sense of lightness, Gulkin is currently working on an eccentric, queer, art-rock record that unabashedly voices their existential thoughts with furious guitar solos, psychedelic lyrics, and a palpable sense of humour.

"The dreamscape music is a remarkable folk blend...powerful in its beauty." - Bob Mersereau, CBC

"Une beauté qui se transporte où les montées nuancées sont délicieuses et les mélodies oscillantes entre l’accroche efficace et les sentiers vierges." - Louis-Philippe Labrèche, Le Canal Auditif

Raw and open-ended" "NNNN" - Sarah Greene, NOW Toronto    

"Mixing up jazz, folk and chamber pop, Rose takes a traditional template and then doodles all over it, adding her own signature curlicues to create something familiar and refreshing"  - Quick Before It Melts    

"Hypnotizing" - Jenna Melanson, Canadian Beats  

"Gulkin delivers something unexpectedly heartbreaking in the kind of way I had thought only Sufjan Stevens could do with a soft whisper." - Pamela Fillion, ForgetTheBox  

"L’univers de Corinna Rose oscille entre les rythmiques folk des Sœurs Boulay et les intonations feutrées de Norah Jones ou Ingrid St-Pierre...Le tableau d’ensemble résulte de ballades fortes qui nous forcent à apprécier chaque petite subtilité qui grouille à travers ses tendres mélodies." - La Bible Urbaine
