Artist Of The Week - Wishbeard

I love getting random links from my friends (Thanks Birdie for the links!). That's how I heard about Wishbeard; this week's pick for Artist of the Week. Wishbeard is out of Seattle, WA and the four adorably cute faces seen below make up the band. Jude Miqueli is on drums, Bryn Santillan on guitar and vocals, Brighton Kenoyer on bass and Erin Resso on keyboard.

They describe their sounds as "psychedelic dream pop machine" and they live up to that. When I first got the links I didn't do any research to find out about the band or their sound. So, I had no clue what to expect when I pushed play, I assumed pop or rock when I seen the album cover. I played the tracks on the bandcamp page and what I heard blew my mind. At the time the only thing that was up was their I.H.Y.P album consisting of 2 songs: I.H.Y.P. and Runnin' Around. I played both repeatedly for a few hours vibing out and dancing around my room. I loved the effects they used on their tracks; Wishbeard has a great chill vibe and sound about them and at the same time their music made me want to dance (and I did!).

I.H.Y.P. (2 Tracks) - Released March 16, 2013
There was really epic timing on me getting the links when I did because the next day (9/13/2013) Wishbeard released their album 'It's All Gonna Break'. The four track album is just as amazing and mind blowing as the first two songs I heard, and then some! Wisbeard really delivers a sound of their own meshed with psychedelic shoegaze rock. 

It's All Gonna Break (4 Tracks) - Released Septmeber 13, 2013

After listening to the 'It's All Gonna Break' album all the way through I knew I had to do some research and dub them as 'Artist of the Week'. Here is what I can tell you about Wishbeard. Wishbeard formed in 2012 and has been building their fan base ever since. They have played along side acts like Friends and Family,  Austra, JD Samson's MEN and Mary Lambert, gaining fans along the Pacific Northwest. While doing my research I found out that lead singer Bryn was recently in Mary Lambert's music video 'She Keeps Me Warm'. Bryn is Mary's love interest in the music video. Wishbeard posted a bunch of fan made GIFs of Bryn to their site, this is my favorite!
Such an adorable smile!


Okay I will leave you guys with some awesome videos and links below. Check them out and buy the latest album. It won't disappoint! ~Christina Peace
