Laura Gibson is an internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter and producer, born and raised in the small Oregon logging town of Coquille. Her most recent album Goners (Barsuk/City Slang) is a meditation on grief and empathy which The Fader described as, “so incessantly beautiful that one cannot help but want to gently crack it open to get to its beating core.” The New York Times summarized its themes: “longing and instinct, and whether they can ever converge.”
Lydia-Mae is a Portland-based dyke-chick who once swore no part of her was straight, but she was lying because the mites on her eyelashes are having wicked-cool hetero-sex inside her hair follicles, and every day she has to live with that reality. You can find her previous work in The Molotov Cocktail and on the backs of her eyelids at night. You can keep up with them at @MaejorL on Instagram.
