w/ Myriads & Drook
Reptaliens:
Reptaliens, from Portland, Oregon, named in reverence for their interests in cult mentality, transhumanism, and conspiracy theories, Reptaliens quickly evolved from a bedroom-recording project to a full-fledged band that explores fringe pop culture through analog synthesizers, electric guitars, melodic bass lines, and Bambi’s lulling vocals.
Myriads:Since her early days of musical performance as a college student in Charlottesville, Virginia, Maria DeHart has been on a continuous journey of building her sound. Starting in 2018, the Portland, Oregon-based artist has traveled through a few distinct phases, going from acoustic songwriter to loop-pedal expert to full band frontperson. Her debut release, an EP called “Win Some, Lose Everyone” that was released in October of 2023 on the east coast-based indie label Self Aware Records, is a brief yet strong run of filled-out songs that signals a development in DeHart’s self-actualization. While prepping for its release, DeHart came to the realization that this would be the perfect time to adopt an official name for her project, Myriads, which nowadays includes much collaboration and feels significantly bigger than just herself.
Myriads’ upcoming EP Find Ourselves Again is their first studio-recorded production, recorded and mixed by Joe Anderson at Helvete Studios in Portland, Oregon and mastered by Chris Baglivo at Jamtown Recording Studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It’s an exploration in dream pop with a healthy dose of emo and folk influence. The EP comes in with a punchy start with the first track, a cheerful number called “Spider” wherein DeHart laments about seasonal affective disorder and winter restlessness over a wonderfully poppy melody and chorus-laden guitar chords. The next track, “Call It Quits,” is a thoroughly dreamy breakup song with lyrics that most everyone can resonate with: DeHart sings, “I know that sometimes it’s better to call it quits; I saw the opportunity to end it before you did.”
Drook:
Drook's debut LP, The Pure Joy of Jumping, stands as a testament to the lofty ambitions of the Richmond, Virginia-based group and their ever-spinning wheelhouse of interests and tastes. Written up and down the east coast, in studios, bedrooms and coffee shops, the contents of Jumping are as traveled as the band itself. Conceived over a period of four years, this deeply personal coming-of-age record explores identity, interpersonal relationships, and the modern malaise of American life. Underscored by an earnest sense of humor and pointed self-evaluation, Jumping plays out over 11 songs driven by frenetic rhythms, blissed-out guitars, and colorful synth arrangements. It's an aggregation of self-expression with a limitless approach to form.
