JOHN SAINT PELVYN (BELLINGHAM)
Hatched in the Minneapolis underground, John Saint-Pelvyn developed an idiosyncratic & very personal approach to guitar. Fragmenting folk & blues landscapes slashed through by theremin squelches & otherworldly vocal outbursts "like songs for the dead astronauts of tranquilly basin sung by cats and rare birds. Very nostalgic in their small way, but yearning for a past only reached by going forward"

A multi-instrumentalist who defies categorization. Possibly one of the best folk guitarists in the West. That alone would be enough, but he is also a creative electronic artist who wields modular and hardware synths to paint sound textures punctuated with elemental tones.

The two are al... Keep Reading
Once upon a time in the whimsical realm of avant-garde soundscapes and artistic marvels, there was a human named Bryan Eubanks.

Hailing from the wasted lands of southeastern Washington State (Eastern Cascadia), his first introductions to music came via half asl... Keep Reading
