Sad13, New Idea Society, Real Beaut

Sad13 is the production alias of Sadie Dupuis, best known as the guitarist and songwriter of indie band Speedy Ortiz, as well as a poet who’s published two well-received books. Her solo project—which mixes electronic and rock subgenres in glittering home recordings—debuted in 2016 with “Basement Queens,” a collaboration with Lizzo, followed shortly thereafter by politically-minded pop album Slugger (Carpark Records). 2020’s studio-trotting, maximalist Haunted Painting (also on Carpark) showcased Dupuis’ growing technical skills, and it was tracked alongside engineers like Illuminati Hotties’ Sarah Tudzin and Spacemoth’s Maryam Qudus. Sad13 has played worldwide, hitting festivals like Glastonbury and BIGSOUND, and toured with artists including Deerhoof, Vagabon, and Ted Leo. As a session player, she’s contributed to albums by Backxwash, Ben Lee, the New Pornographers, and more. In 2023, Rolling Stone named her one of their Greatest Guitarists of All Time.
