Vivienne Wilder is a Toronto-based singer/songwriter and bassist whose music channels raw vulnerability, defiant resilience, and fleeting beauty through an alt-rock lens. Classically trained but forged in the neon glow of dive bars and restless touring circuits, her songs fuse confessional lyricism with a sharp-edged emotional intensity, delivered through a voice that swings effortlessly between haunting fragility and blistering ferocity.
Vivienne’s third full-length album, Terrible Human, sees her working closely with producer/guitarist Ian Docherty (July Talk, Dwayne Gretzky) to craft her most cohesive and emotionally resonant work yet. On the biting “Sex Machine,” gnarly bass and sneering vocals skewer an ex’s inflated self-image with seething wit. The frenetic “Total Mess” confronts personal flaws head-on with raw self-awareness and indie-rock textures, while “Ten Year Bender” blends swaggering attitude with world-weary storytelling, painting a portrait of excess, regret, and fleeting catharsis.
