Advance Base, Moontype, Hill View #73
Advance Base is the melancholic soft rock recording project of Chicago singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals, and drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, and nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as "lo-fi," "depressed," and "weirdly uplifting."
Moontype crafts "life-affirming" indie rock that balances vulnerable, earnest songwriting with whiplash-inducing arrangements, blending a woozy, reverb-heavy atmosphere with the technical precision of improvisational jazz.
Hill View #73 The recording project of Atlanta-based songwriter Awsaf Halim, Hill View #73 blends intricate electronica and video-game-inspired drum loops with fuzzy, "bedroom-fidelity" indie pop.
