Advance Base is the melancholic soft rock recording project of Chicago, IL singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals & drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, & nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as "lo-fi," "depressed" & "weirdly uplifting."

Young Moon's Trevor Montgomery is a craftsman. By day he’s a skilled tile setter, a job taxing to both the mind and body. By night he's an equally meticulous and hard working musician, coaxing just the right tones out of his vintage drum machines and synths to carry his tales of love and redemption. As a tile setter and as a musician, his job is the same: assembling things of beauty to fill empty spaces. Gifted with a somber baritone, Montgomery has been in bands such as San Francisco post-rockers Tarentel and solo under the moniker Lazarus (Temporary Residence). Even when he's shining a light on the dark and broken parts of his past, Young Moon feels redemptive, inspiring, and full of hope.

Dani Cotter's debut album "midwest" was described as "understated, thoughtful, and a little haunting" by Karol Kaminski at IDIOTEQ.com. Dani's hometown record store and seasonal employer - Culture Clash - was so obsessed, they backed a physical run of CDs and are enchanted whenever Dani takes the stage.
