Wendy Eisenberg has spent the past decade as a fixture of independent music and an artist of inspired multiplicity. As a singer-songwriter, improviser, and virtuoso guitarist, the coordinates of their artistry are ever-shifting, from art-rock to jazz to blistering free improv and eloquent folk. On catalog highlights including 2020’s Auto and the 2024 free-jazz sprawler Viewfinder, they’ve made a signature of ambition.
As Eisenberg told fellow guitarist Nick Millevoi in an interview for Premier Guitar in 2021, “I need to be in a punk band at the same time as I need to be playing free improv at the same time as I need to be playing songs. All at the same time—otherwise none of the practices will work for me.” Their musical range isn’t a glib manifestation of eclecticism, but a genuine artistic essence.
More Eaze is the project of Brooklyn-based sound artist and multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice. Ranging from ambient pop to folk and musique concrete, her numerous solo and collaborative releases weave mundane, everyday sounds, acoustic orchestration and instrumentation, and electronics into adventurous textural compositions. Her music explores themes of intimacy, yearning, Americana, and the transformation of abstract feeling into intense living through compositions that move seamlessly between the banal and the ethereal. She has recently released work with Thrill Jockey, 15 Love, Longform Editions, Leaving Records, Ecstatic, and Orange Milk. Her work as a string arranger, pedal steel player, and producer has recently been featured on recordings by Martha Skye Murphy, Water Damage, Lomelda, Fashion Club, Claire Rousay, Space Afrika and Rainy Miller, and Nick Zanca amongst others. She regularly performs in the duos Pink Must (w/ Lynn Avery) and whait (w/ Wendy Eisenberg).
Drawing upon her background in classical guitar & art rock (as 1/3 of Oakland's Gumby's Junk), Jas Stade blends whimsy & technicality into an ever-shifting sonic landscape of experimental instrumental folk music.
Her style explores a kaleidoscope of tones - fluidly moving from wobbly, surreal walls of sound to crisp fingerpicked ditties. Smoke & Mirrors, Jas’ debut album released in 2025, is a textural delight for the world of guitar music. Recorded to analog tape, Smoke & Mirrors is meditative, tongue-in-cheek, and best enjoyed late at night. "This electric fingerstyle guitar album weaves inventive melodic lines and subtle harmonic shifts, channeling those in-between emotions that are hard to name. With a sound all its own it evokes a nighttime pastoral that feels both mysterious and beautiful."
