Portland musicians Daniel Gruska, Ben Dahmes, Joel Seaking, and Tripp Watson, formerly of Roselit Bone and Haunted Spurs, united to create a distinct dark, gothic-inspired sound. Drawing inspiration from post-punk icons like Pink Turns Blue, The Chameleons, and The Cure, their music explores themes of historical mayhem, religious horror, and personal relationships with death and disease.

Alexis Mahler explores her softness through the dark and earthy colors of the cello, a somber strum comforted by delicate lyrics and playful melodies.

The Breathing Effect began in 2013, as two lifelong friends (Eli Goss & Harry Terrell) embarked on a journey of songwriting and sonic experimentation. Over the last decade their palette has evolved in step with an ever-changing world, but their dedication to heartfelt music has stayed constant. After 6 genre-defying LP’s and 8 years of indelible live performances, The Breathing Effect stands tall as a musical legacy.

Labrys is the solo endeavor by Penny Pitchlynn, the long-standing bassist for acclaimed indie band BRONCHO. The group is now touring in support of a long-awaited debut full-length album, 10:10. Combining a graveled low end, ruminative vocals, and vulnerable lyrics, LABRYS wields a heavy yet agile sound, evaporating experiential stones into smoky apparitions of self-reflection. As a full band, LABRYS highlights the sludge-tinged grooves that underscore its arrangements.
