A trio from Oakland who made records about heartbreak and darker feelings without trying to brighten the mood.
For their sound, try 'Opal Vault' or 'Aphrodite's Thorns.' The music doesn't try to brighten its mood, staying with themes of heartbreak.
They formed in Oakland with Aaron Shaw on vocals and guitar, Nicole Tuminello on bass and vocals, and Anthony Gulyas on drums. Their debut album was called 'In the Absence of Light,' and they followed it with records like 'Atonement' and 'Dreamless Sleep.' Songs like 'Opal Vault' and 'Aphrodite's Thorns' show their sound, which leans into melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics.
They started with 'In the Absence of Light' and kept working in that emotional space through records like 'Atonement' and 'Dreamless Sleep.' Some listeners found their material too heavy, but the band built a catalog that includes tracks such as 'Below The Shadows,' 'antofagasta,' and 'Red Script.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
