Vox Rea is an indie pop noir outfit from Vancouver, Canada. It features Kate Kurdyak (lead vocals/piano/guitar/violin) and Lauren Kurdyak (vocals/piano/percussion). The two sisters released their debut album, To Bring You My Heart, on 604 Records in 2017 under the name The Katherines.

After a hiatus to study philosophy in the mountains, the band resurfaced under the moniker Vox Rea in the fall of 2020. The new name’s intentional ambiguity allowed for an identity beyond the stereotype of being labelled a 'girl band' and represents the reclamation of their creative control. Every part of the project – the music, the image, and the message – is created by the band. Vox Rea focuses on art as an experience as opposed to a product and their music chronicles the odyssey of a group of artists trying to come to terms with their generation’s place in the human story. Themes of addiction, self-doubt, lust, identity, independence and grief form the undercurrent of lyrics that are deeply introspective. Vox Rea believes in the revolutionary power of art.

The band’s special brand of noir pop blends string arrangements and harmonies into the dreamy collection of songs on their self-titled debut. Vox Rea (2022) was written in collaboration with fellow Canadian artists Luca Fogale, Begonia and Joël, and produced by Connor Seidel and Tim Buron (Charlotte Cardin, Matt Holubowski), JUNO nominee Derek Hoffman (Arkells, RALPH, The Elwins) and multi-platinum producer Joel Stouffer (Dragonette, Kayla Diamond).
