w/ Nug & Merle Law
LASKA:The songwriters in question are Hannah and Mookie Morton. The band, LASKA, is the sweet spot between heavy and soft - a gentle bruise on a crisp apple. Their mixture of distorted guitars, delicate vocals, and wailing violin encapsulate the dynamic qualities of life itself. Sometimes their work presents as harmonies and melodies meticulously placing themselves like the careful legs of a balletic spider in awe of its own symmetry. Other times, their work arrives as an overdue outpouring. Starting somewhere in the body - ecstatic as the seed of a pure and wordless truth, then erupting as a cathartic yelp. Bonded by blood, forged in psychic battle, sisters Hannah and Mookie channel their lived experiences into music that glides through genres like a canoe on a quiet lake. LASKA is the sound you hear when you're inside of an indelible memory. They are currently based in Portland, Oregon and are backed by Max Johnson on bass and Kai Nealis on drums.
Imagine a dreamlike long hallway with many doors - behind each door is a look into a different corner of your psyche. LASKA’s upcoming full length album, long long hallway (due summer 2025) is not one coherent thread, but celebrates two sides of one hallway, similar to the partnership of two minds drawing their individual experiences in pursuit of artistic expression. Recorded in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and a bedroom closet in Portland, OR long long hallway captures both depth and intimacy. “Not even you can bury yourself / gonna need another pair of hands” the second single, 10 & 2 (out May 15, 2025) is sung to fictional Bella, a well meaning control freak with a perpetual to-do list. The lyrics highlight the neverending need for other people, even after death. In the same way, LASKA intends to emphasize community by letting you know they cry too.
Nug:
Nug is a musical group made up of four friends in Portland, OR. Blending and bending the genres of Post Punk, Indie Rock, Shoegaze, Nu-metal, Psych Rock, and probably some other things, Nug has been described we-think-affectionately as “Parquet Courts meets Grateful Dead” and “a jam band for people who hate jam bands” and “really friendly guys making loud music”. Nug’s debut record “Kerfuffle” released in February of 2025 and remains released to this very day. Thanks!
Merle Law:Merle Law is a singer-songwriter based in Portland, OR, whose songs create an intricate tapestry of memory and longing. Initially working under the moniker Palm Sunday, Law has developed a sound driven by untraditional counter rhythms, a melodic tide pool and personal poetry that relates to the listener. Born Meredith Law to a Philly drummer and a singer from south Louisiana, Merle’s influence pulls from a vast library of songwriters.
