SEA CAVES
In late 2019, Sea Caves released Across the Water and received glowing reviews and a dedicated fanbase in the Pacific Northwest. As momentum was building and they were set to embark on a West Coast tour, the pandemic brought a quick halt to their plans. During this time, as some relations frayed, Sydney Rohrs and Shiloh Halsey kept meeting at the park and writing songs, and a new album began to take shape. The result is a set of heartfelt songs colored with rich instrumentation, lush harmonies, and catchy melodies, all interwoven with Rohrs’ dreamy vocals and themes exploring the disconnection from community and family and the longing for things past and yet to be known.
DARKSWOON
Darkswoon is an electronic shoegaze trio from the Pacific Northwest with a genre-defying sound. Their music combines elements of darkwave, post-punk and dream pop while paying homage to both old-school goth and electronic influences. Layered ethereal vocals, melodically-driven bass, atmospheric guitar over drum machines and synths create a distinctive style. Darkswoon is Jana Cushman (vocals, guitar), Rachel Ellis (beats, synths) and Norah Lynn (bass). Their latest album, Bloom Decay (2022, Icy Cold Records), marks a significant evolution in their sound. Praised as a standout release, it showcases Darkswoon at their most innovative and introspective. They are currently working on their third album.
