Originally from Greater Sudbury, Zacharie Pelland left the city of nickel in 2016 on a whim to settle in Whitehorse as a touring and session musician. It was there he met Amber, a multi-instrumentalist and radio producer from Edmonton who became his partner, and co-creator of Rare-Earth Magnet. According to Zach, the aesthetic of the project proudly ranks with the codes of science fiction: spaceships, astronauts and expansive horizons. Having now settled on Vancouver Island, Rare-Earth Magnet is preparing their second album, working alongside their new colleague Alex Rose (Minus the Bear).
