Coral Grief is the Seattle-based dream pop trio comprised of Lena Farr-Morrissey (vocals, bass, synth) Sam Fason (guitar, synth) and Cam Hancock (drums). Rich guitars, glowing synths, driving bass, and ethereal vocals swirl around skeletal drum beats to create a textured, intricate sound that is experimental, playful, and catchy.  The band recorded their debut self-titled EP between March and August 2020 at home. While the songs are not confined to quarantine, they are a product of its themes. Ambient guitars and weavings synths create the space for Farr-Morrissey’s melodies and Fason’s guitar work to flourish, with expert bass lines propelling each song forward. Since releasing their self-titled EP with Seattle tape label Den Tapes in May 2021, Coral Grief has established themselves as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most exciting new acts. Since their first live show in July 2021, the band has already played some of Seattle’s most iconic venues, opening for acclaimed artists like Indigo de Souza, Chastity Belt, and Dummy, as well as playing Treefort Music Fest and Fisherman’s Village Music Festival.

somesurprises is the psych-dream-folk-pop project of Natasha El-Sergany, who sings and plays guitar, synth, and drum machine (pre-sets). somesurprises started as a solo project in Charlottesville, Virginia in mid-2013, and was at first a Soundcloud page used for collecting the best or first takes of obsessive late-night spontaneous phone recordings of original and cover songs. The project draws inspiration from emotionally-resonant movie scores, lo-fi/shoegaze legends, and decades of heartbroken country, soul, pop, and folk music. A move to Seattle in late 2013 introduced Natasha to kindhearted and talented folks in the underground experimental music community who counterintuitively gave her repeated opportunities to perform songs on the same bills as more abstract/"noise" musicians whose adventurous and egoless work consequently had a deep impact on her songwriting.  Throughout much of 2014 and 2015, she collaborated, performed, and recorded with harsh noise aficionado Samuel Henry (Plastic Boner Band) and gifted guitarist Dustin Williams (Mind Beams, ex-Stalebirth). In 2016 Natasha began performing with Josh Medina (Medina/Walsh), who adds warm atmospheric tones and effects on electric guitar. Later that year Nico Sophiea was added on drums and Andrew Scott Young on bass. Natasha released a solo cassette called "Voice Memos" in 2016 via Happy Accident Records and teamed up with Josh to record a new album called "Serious Dreams", which will be released by Eiderdown Records in 2017.
