The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Airiel: In 1997, Jeremy Wrenn formed a two-man shoegaze project called Airiel. Fast forward to 2022, the now four-piece live band has toured nationally and internationally, released two full-length albums, several singles and five EPs (including a box set). It’s loud. It’s pretty. You can dance to it.

Deserta: Through a patchwork of reverb-tinged textures – drone guitars, lingering synths and driving percussion – the Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Doty weaves together stories of care, frustration and catharsis that ultimately stretch to a gentle resolve. On the new album Every Moment, Everything You Need, Doty chronicles the kind of year we all fear, full of uncertainty, tension and sustained pressure, and transforms it into a celebration of perseverance. It’s an essential reminder that we can shape the stories we tell. The LP was mixed by Dave Fridmann (Tame Impala, Mogwai, Interpol), with Beach House and Slowdive producer Chris Coady engineering and co-producing.
