Best known for being a member of New York-based band The Wants (f.k.a. BODEGA), Heather Elle steps out into the spotlight with her solo recording project Flossing. Elle’s Flossing debut, Queen of the Mall is slated for a September 10, 2021 release through Brace Yourself.

Bonding over their mutual love of the visual work of The Cure, Oingo Boingo and Nine Inch Nails, Elle found a special creative kinship with director Devan Davies Woods and created a darkly seductive and uneasy visual that celebrates versatility while following a character, who’s no longer bothering to hide her conflicting and absurd true selves.
