BABERS is a moody indie band based in Portland fronted by Dana Cargioli (guitar & vocals) & Lisa Haagen (guitar, drums & vocals). The band released their sophomore EP on May 5th, 2023.
The music sits in an incredibly catchy pocket that makes it undeniably pop- while serving syncopated rhythms and counter melodies that add complexity. Rooted in the electric guitar, the arrangements create the effect of a much larger band. The dual leads have their own distinct voices that seamlessly blend into complex harmonies. They are often seen switching instruments during the live set which creates an entertaining visual element. The BABERS catalog is a masterclass in dynamics: soft spoken lyrics and gentle harmonies open the songs like a conversation and then build to reveal the furthest limits of their individual vocal ranges over rock arrangements.
Faith&Majesty are an indie folk/alt sister duo/band. Their contemplative writing melded with hard-hitting harmonies make their music feel like a heartbreaking lullaby. Having started making music together in 2016, the duo are excited to release their first EP in 2023 following their string of single releases.
kitchen congregation is the solo project of hannah morton who has been writing and performing music in bands for nearly a decade. The name for the moniker was a light-hearted play on an observation that hannah made about how it seems social gatherings somehow end with friends gathering around in the kitchen. The moniker has taken on a second meaning as the recorded works have become a sort of collaboration among friends.
The songs play around with observations hannah has made about herself and the people around her (just life stuff) with a bedroom pop / folk sound.
The live kitchen congregation set features hannah’s vocals and words backed by finger picked electric guitar and occasional tracks and violin.
kitchen congregation put out their first ep “i’m not having fun anymore” in 2021 and is currently recording their 2nd ep, “this is gonna suck” due out in 2023.
