Described by The Wire as “impressive” and “original,” **Griffin Brown'**s musical work collides—and sometimes exists wholly inside of—idioms like concert music, jazz, electronic, experimental pop and rock, and improvised music. He's performed/premiered music across the US, Europe, and Canada and worked with a range of established and emerging international voices across genre. His poems appear in The Paris Review, Oxford Poetry, Plume, and elsewhere.
Lilliana Villines was raised by an astrologer, a birthday clown, and an insurance agent. Her songs are built upon absurdist themes and chaotic living conditions, with lyrics derived from dream logs and day jobs. Her debut album ‘The Mids’ focused on the secret worlds in hidden corners of the San Fernando Valley. Her latest release ‘Subject to Dust’ takes inspiration from deserts and chaparral landscapes, and the stark divide between wilderness and man made monoliths.
Key Largo-born producer/songwriter Ryan Raines makes music, usually surrounded by a slew of friends and collaborators. His 2024 album Blunt Objects is a catch-all of sincere scores, broken beats, and deadpan rock and roll. His forthcoming project features piano, vibraphone, falsetto, and a heart-shaped hole where the metronome used to be.
