Portland’s MØTRIK are “America’s Best Krautrock Band”. Formed in 2012, their live shows have become well known for sprawling sounds and dense clouds of fog emanating from a traffic cone, all pierced by lasers from the eyes of a Unifox. Over the last decade, the group has earned its headliner status at home, performed at Treefort Music Fest, and toured as far as the Deep South. They have shared the stage with artists as diverse as Oh Sees, Drive By Truckers, and Once and Future Band. To date, they have released three full-length albums and assorted e.p.’s on Jealous Butcher Records.

Portland musician Dewey Mahood is one of the most versatile and prolific musicians in the modern psychedelic underground. As Plankton Wat, he has explored the outer reaches of folk and synthesized drift since the mid-aughts, and his dedication to improvisation above all else, his restless exploratory spirit, has earned him his place as a dark horse in the continuum of contemporary sonic explorers.
