Laconic

Laconic formed around vocalist Anya Petrova and guitarist Ethan Walsh, who shared an interest in introspective music. Their debut album 'Ashes of Forgotten Dreams' came out in 2015, followed by 'Veils of Shadow' in 2018.

Their song 'Epilogue' from that first album became particularly well-known, with Petrova's vocals and atmospheric arrangements drawing listeners in. Other tracks like 'On This Cold Night' and 'Medicated' show their tendency toward moody, minimal arrangements.

Some listeners have noted that Laconic's lyrics often touch on themes of melancholy and isolation, which has occasionally sparked discussion about their content. They've generally avoided elaborate production in favor of letting the vocals and guitar work carry the emotional weight of songs like 'Visions' and their cover of 'The End of Heartache'.
