Live at The Lot: Cardioid + Opening Set by Nick Delffs
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
The main creative project of Lizzy Ellison (previously of Portland’s Radiation City), Cardioid flits between genres and tones with the sly, dexterous abandon of an artist in full control. Evoking the distorted guitar ballads of Angel Olsen one minute and the funky, mercurial art-rock of St. Vincent the next, her music is tactile, industrial-strength dream-pop awash in fuzzed-out guitars and retro-wave synths. Ellison terms it “fantasy metal,” silvery and elusive, resoundingly strong yet invitingly fluid.
