Grails
Grails is an experimental rock band from Portland that has spent over 25 years pushing the boundaries of sound and style. Known for their surreal soundscapes, eclectic influences, and inventive use of instruments, from guitars and synths to woodwinds and percussion, they continue to redefine what experimental rock can be. Their latest album, 'Miracle Music', reveals a more personal and emotionally resonant side, blending melodic grandeur with fearless creativity in a captivating listening experience. Grails prove once again that experimentation and emotion can go hand in hand.
Expensive $hit
Expensive $hit (aka Paul Quattrone, half of Osees’ drum duo) combines vintage electronic drum pads, samplers, and a wide array of distortion and delay pedals with acoustic drums to create a rhythm and noise experience. The result is a high-energy, generator-powered sonidero vibe reminiscent of a Mexican parking lot party, with echoes of afrobeat, krautrock, dub, and harsh noise.
