FIELD TRIP began as a psychedelic recording project during NYC’s 2020 lockdown, where Zach Wagner demoed songs about escapism, introversion, and collaged street conversations. After moving to PA, it expanded into a full band with Andrew Alonso on drums and Dillon Snyder on bass. Blending dream pop with psych rock, their sound layers shimmering lo-fi textures over massive syncopated drums, while Wagner’s airy, filtered vocals float above a hypnotic instrumental landscape below. Atmospheric and ambient, yet poignant and raw at just the right moments, Field Trip develops a vastness of sound without losing their grounding in closeness.

PHASE MATERIA - Blending elements of neo-psych rock with lavish, dream pop melodies, Phase Materia attracts listeners like hallucinatory moths. Their orchestral keyboards swirl around intricate guitars, while a harmonic bass leaps from the rhythmic scaffolding. Smith's vocals weave in polyrhythms as he leads a guided tour into an alchemical world of symbols. Together they invite the mind to wander through a doorway to the aether beyond. For such a young band, Phase Materia's approach to their craft is undeniable. Their personal ethic is reflected in the mantra: "The Great Work can be done, but is never finished."

AIR IS HUMAN is Josh Aptner and Jeff Lucci; a duo that has been cultivating a sound that balances explosive beats and emotive Rhodes piano arrangements with bold, heavy, and atmospheric guitar melodies. The music is focused and through-composed, but within the arrangements there is a looseness that allows the specifics to be improvisational. Blending influences from downtempo and ambient with kraut and psych rock, from groups like Boards of Canada to Talk Talk, the sound is loud and enveloping, yet still maintains a delicate and cinematic quality to it.
