One of the leaders of the recent shoegaze revival, No Joy made their debut with several releases on the acclaimed label Mexican Summer. With a discography that is nearly entirely critically acclaimed, including the full lengths Wait to Pleasure and More Faithful, No Joy create sonic soundscapes that are both melodic and crushing. Extensive touring with acts such as Deafheaven, DIIV, Best Coast and Baths solidified No Joy’s live show as an immersive experience.

In recent years the group has restructured to feature more prominently vocalist Jasamine White-Gluz's ever flourishing experimental tastebuds. Recent collaborations include an electronic EP with Sonic Boom of Spacemen 3 and a duet with Drab Majesty on their latest release Modern Mirror. 

Heaven’s Gate

Seattle based musician and songwriter Emma Danner believes her songs are never truly “finished.” By enlisting a fluid cast of players to perform the songs she’s been writing as Red Ribbon for the past decade, the sound, arrangements, and meaning behind Emma’s writing is always evolving. “The biggest blessing with music is that you get to play it with other people,” Emma explains. “Being able to communicate and experience things with others through that channel is really powerful.” Through the process of bringing her simple yet compelling solo demos to a cohort of musicians she trusts creatively, Emma has allowed her songs to take a new form every time they’re played. By doing so, Emma has built a body of work through Red Ribbon that not only belongs to her, but to everyone participating with her in the moment.
