Father You See Queen

After the dark, Minneapolis-based dream pop duo <a href="spotify:artist:62EtVfwaTpP6r2LLgUrMga">To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie</a> disbanded when vocalist Jehna Wilhelm moved to Seattle to continue her studies, producer Mark McGee began collaborating with a number of other local projects, including the improvisational group Votel (formerly <a href="spotify:artist:7js4Mm8A4WZ0PySV3yThtY">H.U.N.X.</a>) and Marijuana Deathsquads. Initially looking to continue <a href="spotify:artist:62EtVfwaTpP6r2LLgUrMga">To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie</a> with a different vocalist, McGee connected with singer/songwriter Nicole "Mona" Tollefson, who had been working on her own material which she had sent to a mutual friend. During their collaboration, the pair realized their music was moving in a poppier, minimal direction, and gave their project a name of its own. Father You See Queen made some of their songs available online in 2010 while playing the occasional show that year and in 2011; after signing to Chicago's indie label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Flingco%22">Flingco</a>, their debut EP 47 was streamed online a few months ahead of its April 2012 release. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
