Formed in Athens, GA, Easter Island is an ambient dream-pop act, whose sound has been compared to Explosions in The Sky, Death Cab for Cutie, DIIV, and more. Over the years they’ve shared the stage with David Bazan, Cindy Wilson (of The B5s), The Low Anthem, Bully, Wild Nothing, White Rabbits, Valley Maker, to name just a few. The band’s debut record Frightened led to a number of television syncs, including ABC’s “Off The Map”, MTV’s “Awkward”, and a recent live appearance on CW’s Dynasty which aired in 2019. In early 2020, the band launched a Kickstarter campaign to independently release the new album on vinyl. Despite the rapid rise of the Covid-19 pandemic, they successfully raised the funds they needed to finally put this record out on their own terms. Since 2020, each band member now lives in a different city spread out over the U.S. Never to be put off by setbacks, the band chose to lean into the weirdness and produced a music video featuring each band member in their respective city, as well as recording the album in its entirety at Tweed Recording in Athens, Ga, for five cameras. The journey has been a labor of love and full of small gifts and miracles (they still like the songs after all these years!), and they’re overjoyed to finally be able to share it with the world with their first tour since 2019.
