Sylvia Ivy grew up Portland but today records and gigs in Chicago, weaving influences like Big Thief and Animal Collective into moth-bitten yet living songs—songs of grief, recovery, and transition. Held by her country-grunge Spirit Ensemble, Sylvia digs even deeper into the emotional rawness of her performance, reaching higher highs and softer softs. Experimental and evolving, Sylvia Ivy Spirit Ensemble leaps into collective healing—eyes closed, hearts open—and lights the path so any may follow.

Anya Baghina is a post-Soviet girl now living in the Midwest USA. Her self-titled solo debut album balances accessible melodies with sometimes nonlinear song structures and evolving arrangements that move between shoegazey dream pop, slide guitar-fueled jangly indie folk, synth-driven ambient soundscapes, distorted indie rock, and noisy art pop. The lyrics veer from resigned to hopeful, biting to patiently observant, and grief-stricken to something approaching peace.
