Vibrissae

Originally from three different countries, the members of Portland's Vibrissae travel between the worlds of guitar-oriented shoegaze and synth-based electronic music over the course of their self-titled debut album. Although they explore various moods, the three-piece frequently chooses to dwell on the darker side of things, with Imber Lingard’s haunting vocals floating over walls of guitars and synths, performed by Emma and Aaron Bell. According to TheRevue.ca, Vibrissae's debut release is “innovative” and “captivating” and the trio shows “tremendous range and ability.” Their music is described as “cripplingly lovely” by DKFM Radio and is frequently compared to Blonde Redhead, Lush, Ladytron, and The Cure. Vibrissae is currently available from vibrissae.bandcamp.com, as well as several other online vendors.
