Noise Pop Festival 2026 Presents: CFCF (Live) Poor Image Trinity Ace — CFCF is the moniker of Mike Silver, an indie electronic producer from Montreal, Canada, who established himself as an inventive remixer before making his commercial production debut in 2008. A self-taught musician, Silver's style has evolved and matured throughout the years, ranging from his earliest hip-hop production experiments to chiptunes, progressing to the Balearic disco of debut full-length Continent (2009) and ambient/new age explorations like 2015's The Colours of Life. Throughout much of his work during the 2010s, Silver has exhibited a sincere appreciation for "uncool" genres such as soft rock and smooth jazz. He is also co-credited with developing the concept of "night bus," an Internet-spawned movement that encompasses feelings rather than specific genres of music. CFCF was nominated for Best Remixed Recording at the 2015 Grammy Awards, for his remix of 's "Berlin by Overnight." His subsequent work has explored his formative influences, with 2019's Liquid Colours re-creating the commercial side of atmospheric drum'n'bass and 2021's Memoryland evoking several styles of electronica and alternative rock. — Poor Image is a 7 piece americana tinged slowcore band based in the Bay Area. The project came to fruition when members Reid Devereaux, Nick Ferguson, Keenan Lewis, Declan Lewis, Patrick Madden, Tammer Bagdasarian and Nick Ross, who spent their formative years between Silicon Valley, San Francisco, and San Jose, decided to join forces. Poor Image’s recent debut self titled album out on American Death Records is about coming of age strife and trying to “make it” in the age of supersaturation. — Bay Area artist and songwriter Trinity Ace strings together themes of family, religion, violence, redemption, and forgiveness under a seven-piece orchestral ensemble. She brings her evocative lyrics and earworm melodies to her band of close friends and collaborators—Reid Devereaux, Declan Lewis, Tammer Bagdasarian, Korey Loberg, Ben Stolz, and Patrick Madden—whose respective projects, including Double Helix Peace Treaty and Poor Image emerged from a tight creative ecosystem in San Francisco's Richmond District. Her new singles, Martyr and Talisman are sprawling and ambitious tracks that settle into stunning, indie-folk-rock amalgamations that combine the blunt yet poetic storytelling and wry sincerity of Silver Jews and Leonard Cohen's biblical, slow-burn imagery. Unmistakably idiosyncratic yet strangely familiar, Trinity Ace and her band conjure a transfigured vision of Americana that reckons with the mythologies haunting our national imagination.
