Their self-titled EP arrived in June, less than a year after the band’s formation by members of Trance to the Sun, Lost Echoes, and Luscious Apparatus.

Since 2020, they’ve written, recorded, and performed across the West Coast releasing their debut EP Light Split Sparkle in 2023 via Hit The North Records. Follow-ups Universe Sometimes (2024) and Deeper Ecstasy (2025) leading to their debut album Double Wish, released August 2025. Blending influences from The Sundays to Underworld and Cocteau Twins, their sound finds a dreamy middle ground, earning support from Stereogum, KEXP, KCRW, FLOOD Magazine, and more.

Sit Pretty A shoegaze/dreampop/post-punk quartet from the Pacific Northwest, formed in 2018. After releasing two DIY albums and weathering Covid and lineup shifts, they resurfaced in 2022 with renewed energy — touring the West Coast heavily and recording their third album The Earth Died (produced by Jordan Porto), set for release this spring as their first vinyl. The current lineup — Dan Duncan, Bennett Mohler, Brett Smith, and Delaney Smith — brings over a decade of PNW touring and recording experience. Their sound blends soft melodies, tight rhythms, and layers of noise. They hope it makes you feel something good.
