A web of guitar melodies often sit atop a driving rhythm section to stage the back drop for soaring vocals and thoughtful lyrics. The record also notably features a guest appearance on the song ‘Walls’ by Dave Abbruzzese (Pearl Jam) on drums. Named after a cat, Risley was formed in 2016 by Michael Deresh. Risley’s self-titled debut, ranged widely in style and personnel. It featured 12 friends from bands like Genders, Sunbathe and Typhoon joining in, throughout the album’s 22 tracks. Deresh has been a fixture of the Portland music community for ages. He was one of the founding members of PDXPOPNOW! From 2002-2010, his band Tea for Julie opened for acts like The Lemonheads, Menomena, Snow Patrol, Evan Dando, Matt Pond PA, The Ocean Blue and more. Their two albums were in heavy rotation on Seattle’s KEXP and Portland’s KNRK. Over the last few years, Risley’s lineup and sound settled in and gained focus as they really gelled as a band. Jaime Hazerian relocated from LA where she’d been playing guitar in the post rock band ‘Arms for Tripoli’ and touring with Pinback. She and Michael were a natural fit, musically finishing each other’s sentences and collaborating prolifically. Andrew Meininger (Wampire, Bed) brought a real dynamic, nuanced and energetic pulse on drums to the often dreamy vibe. Tyler Rachal took over bass, delivering stalwart and sticky hooks that provide foundation to the many interwoven guitars. Their sophomore release, ‘Meantime Fades’ was released in 2021 with a live streamed performance at the historic Crystal Ballroom. ‘Umbra Penumbra’ is the follow up and will be debuted at Mississippi Studios on Thursday, January 23rd, on the eve of its release on all platforms Mini Blinds Formed as a duo in Portland, OR in late 2015, both Beth Ann Dear (Appendixes) and Devin Welch (Shoplifting, Past Lives, Vice Device, Appendixes) have been playing music in the Pacific Northwest in some form for most of their lives. Drawing influences from 90s female fronted alt-rock, 80s British twee & shoegaze, the Paisley Underground, and K records, they have created a sound with many layers and a common thread. In 2016 they released their first 8 song album “Air Signs”. The songs were bouncy and minimal, held together by layers of analog drum machines. In September 2018 the group released their EP ‘Dust’. Over time a natural evolution in the sound of the band has developed. Their sound has become much more dreamy and slightly harder with more guitar feedback and noise. Since the pandemic the band has been working on writing their third collection of songs in hopes to release it sometime in the near future. ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
