A Los Angeles band that builds layered arrangements around Ryan Sanders' inward-looking lyrics.
For their sound, try The Weight of Us or An Unkindness of Ravens. Both have that subdued, melodic quality they do well.
Their 2017 album The Weight of Us gave them a title track that caught attention for its personal, hushed quality. Songs like Nearly Summer and Somewhere from their catalog maintain that melodic, hazy mood with light electronic touches. They work at their own pace, making records when ready rather than chasing trends.
The trio started in 2016 with Ryan Sanders on vocals and guitar, Eli Bohlke on bass and keys, and Andrew Bohlke on drums. Their first album The Weight of Us arrived in 2017, followed by Adrift in 2021, which leaned more into ambient textures while keeping the reflective writing. There's no dramatic arc, just two albums so far made when they were ready.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
