Portland-based Coloring Electric Like combines shoegaze rock with heavily effected guitar, synth-driven sounds and beats from trip-hop and industrial influences, and female lead vocals.  Layers of guitar evoke the sounds of My Bloody Valentine, Lush, and Curve, while beats from multiple drum and synth loops have the drive and edge of Massive Attack and Nine Inch Nails. A backdrop of lush synth and strings is sublimely orchestral, and creates a large landscape of sound within which provocative female vocals reminiscent of Portishead and Sneaker Pimps intertwine. The duo produces a sound that is surprisingly big, with a haunting feel and danceable groove.        

A unique synthpop/ electrorock group featuring a new face and seasoned musicians from Portland projects you might remember - Herkermer, Dutch Boy Fingers, T-Minus, Sweaty Nipples and more. Combining collective backgrounds in punk, metal, classical and trance Photona is its own synthy thing. With power drums, synth heavy sensibilities, heavy guitar and huge vocals, Photona takes a tidy trip to frustrated alien landscapes.
