Mealworm, Like St. Joan, Ladifa

Like st. Joan: Like St. Joan is the sonic sketchbook of Drew Harmon, a Texas native now rooted in Portland. Equal parts heartache and half-smile, the project melds strange pop instincts with diaristic lyrics — capturing the quiet absurdities of growing up, breaking down, and starting over. It’s music that finds beauty in the crooked, warmth in the weird, and meaning in the mess. Mealworm: Mealworm is a Portland-based trio making music for people who miss their old laptops and feel too much. Think Death Cab’s heart, Alex G’s bedroom weirdness, and a little something you can’t quite name. Songs for getting lost, falling apart, and texting your ex (but not sending it). Ladifa: Ladifa is a Seattle-based alternative singer-songwriter with indie pop sensibilities. Her first few singles have evoked a nostalgic, contemporary sound as well as showcased an earnest and sentimental tone. Inspired by the likes of Stevie Nicks, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Shania Twain, Mitski & many more, Ladifa creates a world of her own lyrically, visually, and vocally. She is currently gearing up for the release of her debut EP.
