Editor's note

Above The Golden State's ethereal San Francisco indie rock

A San Francisco band that blended indie rock with folk and electronic touches before quietly dissolving.

For a quick sense of their sound, put on 'The Haunting' or 'Sound of Your Name'. That's the band in a nutshell, atmospheric, a little haunting, and quietly persistent.

They had a specific sound that's hard to pin down, ethereal indie rock with folk and electronic touches, as heard on 'The Haunting' and 'Sound of Your Name'. It's the kind of music that feels like it belongs to a particular time and place, San Francisco in the late 2000s, and it still gets played. Their songs, especially ones like 'Teach Us' and 'Scared', carried a personal weight that made them more than just background noise.

The band formed in San Francisco with Sarah Kramer on vocals, Ethan Owen on guitar, David Isaacs on bass, and Michael Davin on drums. They released their first album 'Lost in Translation' and followed it with 'Echoes of the Sea' and 'Gravitational Pull' before eventually breaking up.
