foamboy is a Portland-based pop duo comprised of producer Wil Bakula and vocalist Katy Ohsiek. Wil and Katy worked together for many years in other projects before creating their debut pop album, My Sober Daydream, in 2020 and releasing it in 2021. My Sober Daydream has launched this duo into a new stage of their careers. Since then, they have released their sophomore record Eating Me Alive and the Lime, Knife, Time, Hand EP. Foamboy songs have played on KCRW and KEXP, placed on Spotify and Apple Music editorial playlists, and led to press coverage from the Portland Mercury and Willamette Week, the latter describing foamboy as one of Portland’s “Best New Bands.” The band is currently playing frequent shows on the west coast and is in the process of recording the next LP. -- Seance Crasher is the recording alias of Portland artist Kevin Rafn, accompanied on stage by Lia Gist, Scott Harlan, and Tyler Verigin. Through moody lyricism and anachronistic synth strokes, the band creates a sonic world of blue-eyed soul and sophisticated pop. Unique narratives are at the heart of each tune. Seance Crasher released their first full-length LP, Air Apparent, in the Spring of 2023. They are currently working on a follow-up studio album. -- Nosila began her musical journey armed with a classical singing degree in one hand and a guitar in the other. For years, she followed the well-trodden path of a folk singer-songwriter, but it wasn't until she moved to Portland, OR in 2017 that she truly found her voice. Starting over in a new city meant leaving behind her usual collaborators. Instead of rushing to replace them, she embraced the challenge of producing music herself. As she learned the craft, it became clear her sound was evolving beyond folk. In 2018, Nosila rebranded and began releasing pop music, carving out her own niche in what she calls “sad girl electropop.” In 2019, she released her debut EP, drawing inspiration from artists like Dirty Projectors, The Japanese House, Billie Eilish, James Blake, and Sylvan Esso. Her second EP, It Will Never Be Like It Was, leaned into 80s-inspired drums, vocoder-heavy tracks like “Lonely,” and explored themes of love and the complex process of letting go of the baggage from her religious upbringing. Nosila’s sound is a blend of earworm melodies, filtered vocal layers, minimalistic drums, and elements borrowed from R&B, indie, and 80s and 90s pop. These sonic textures serve as a canvas for stories about addiction, betrayal, justice, connection, healing—and even joy. While her music has embraced a decidedly pop direction, it retains the lyrical depth and emotional resonance of her folk roots, a testament to the early days of her musical journey.
