Formed in north Jersey in 2004, The Early spans two decades, two coastlines, and an evolving lineup of multi-instrumentalists. In its current Philadelphia iteration, with Alex Lewis on guitar and synths and Jake Nussbaum on drums and electronics, the two-piece metabolizes the textural grandeur of post-rock, the communicational intimacy of jazz improvisation, and the patient grooves of minimalism, refining a decades-long extrasensory correspondence.Their new album On Juniper, was released with Ruination Record Company in September of 2022.

Grand Banks is the Charlottesville-based project of Davis Salisbury and Tyler Magill. Improvisations on guitar, keyboards, harmonium, and assorted other instruments and objects. "Grand Banks build a sonic world out of equal parts earth-rattling drones and delicate cosmic lullabies ... feel the space around you sing as far-out harmonics shift in and out of focus." -- Mike Nigro, Oxtail Recordings
