The Faint (DJ set) – w/ Drew Cornwall (DJ set) – 21+
Todd from The Faint will be doing a special DJ set of music that has been inspiring their forthcoming record, including artists like Errol Alkan, Tensnake, and Bit Funk, as well as lesser heard classics from the likes of Depeche Mode, Grauzone, The Human League and Soft Cell. He will also feature his own private edits and remixes. with local DJ support from Drew Cornwall! Do you remember a time when the synthesized sounds of the ’80s were a regular part of the modern musical landscape? The members of The Faint do, because they were there when it started to happen. In fact, you could even say they’re one of the main reasons it happened at all. The Faint, founded in Omaha in the mid-‘90s, have always created against the grain, disinterested in making anything except what their own inspiration drives them to make. Each album since their 1998 debut Media has shifted and evolved that desire. Some albums, like 1999’s Blank-Wave Arcade, came from urgent, short recording processes, while others, like 2004’s Wet From Birth, were more carefully constructed. For 2001’s Danse Macabre, they set their sights a bit further afield, attempting to conjure the energy of bumping Berlin dance floors from nearly 5,000 miles away in eastern Nebraska. The musicians themselves are the constant, together embracing a style that is truly unlike every other band out there.
The Fourth Wall, Hannah Glavor, Malachi Graham – 21+
The Fourth Wall was formed in 2011 on the island of Oahu. After releasing their first record (Motion & Rest), they quickly gained local notoriety, opening for visiting national acts like Andrew Bird, The Shins, and Menomena. In 2012, The band relocated to Portland, Oregon. Since their move, they’ve released two highly acclaimed records through Portland label, Bug Hunt. The Portland Mercury called their 2015 album (Lovely Violence) “something of a wonder: an engrossing, fully realized and vitalized record with no easy musical touchstone.” The band went on a few tours following the release of Lovely Violence and landed an opening spot with Band of Horses. Like their second record, their latest release, Infinite Other (2018) was self-recorded in a variety of locations (including an empty warehouse in southeast Portland). Atwood Magazine writes of the record, “Littered with intimate reflections on the individual’s relationship with the world, the record marries raw noise with tasteful melodies and vulnerable emotions to craft a powerful, enveloping, and uniquely enchanting listening experience that is sure to stand the test of time.” After the release of Infinite Other, The Fourth Wall toured with fellow Portland band Typhoon. They are currently recording their fourth album. Hannah Glavor’s music is a mature meld of indie rock revelry and raw folk spirit, clutched together by catching pop elements. Her evocative lyricism, intimate vocal delivery, and enthralling arrangements conjure a compelling and eclectic blend of comparisons from Faye Webster to Fleet Foxes to Torres to Metric. With her co-produced album “So Far, So Long” (2020), crafted with the analog masters at Mason Jar Music in Brooklyn, New York, (Feist, Fleet Foxes, Andrew Bird, Chris Thile) Hannah’s new solo work beckons a new chapter of sound distinct from her former indie-folk family band days (2011-16). Her songs and mantra have not ceased to strive to give language to hope; having weathered losses, difficult transitions, and surviving brain surgery in 2017. Her cry for peace and hope, even in the worst of life’s storms, is an invitation for all to fight to see and love others around them. Hannah is a seasoned Portland artist and has been on the West Coast scene for the past decade sharing the stage and touring and performing with a broad range of sound (Liz Vice, Joseph, Y La Bamba, Catherine Feeney, Evan Way (Parson Redheads), Josh Garrels, Alela Diane). With a voice able to adapt from singing gospel and soul at the Waterfront Bluesfestival with Liz Vice to choruses in Spanish with Luz Elena Mendoza; from Country/Americana in Portland pubs to Alt-rock in punk venues in Seattle; the wooded stages at Pickathon, to intimate acoustic folk shows, Hannah’s diverse but seasoned voice stands out with a sound all her own. Malachi Graham is a songwriter from Portland who twines her incisive lyrics and inventive sounds around the complexity of personal relationships. Her newest songs explore codependency, unraveling loves, chronic pain, grudges, flings, and the boundaries of the self. Her music centers on her clear, emotive voice and empathetic lyricism, layered within spacious and swirling instrumentals, ranging from snarling electric guitar to contemplative synths to mournful fingerpicking. Graham has spent the last decade immersed in Portland music, songwriting and performing in genres from country/Americana to alternative pop. She is the lyricist and vocalist of the indie pop band Small Million (Tender Loving Empire), formed with long-time collaborator Ryan Linder.

loscil // Lawrence English – w/ Patricia Wolf -21+
loscil (Scott Morgan) and Lawrence English present a live AV edition of their collaborative album Colours of Air (kranky, 2023). Drawing from the rich palette of pipe organ sounds sourced for the album, the duo process, rearrange, remix and supplement with live, adaptive visuals bringing new perspectives to their recorded work. United by a shared interest in the provocative promise of harmony and pulse, and the unyielding aspiration of brutalist architectural forms, loscil (Scott Morgan) and Lawrence English’s Colours Of Air for kranky is their first joint offering. Drawing the entirety of the album’s sound materials from a century old pipe organ, the recordings draw on a methodology that is equal parts devolution and iteration. Working to extract the full breath of the organ, and through doing so honour the intensely rich sources that the instrument produces, Morgan and English’s approaches transform the instrument’s pipes and mechanics. This reframing of the instrument reveals a refracted perspective that celebrates the dynamic and timbral capacities of the organ. The results are undulating, saturated and porous, creating a sense of the pieces open ever outward, inviting audiences to become consumed within an ever exhaling breath of sound. Press: “The album is lush and oblique—an approachable standout in two daunting catalogs.” – Pitchfork “…the best moments of this album beautifully evoke what I would imagine light filtering through stained glass would sound like if I had been blessed with synesthesia.” – Brainwashed with local support from Patricia Wolf
