Vibrissae

Portland's ​Vibrissae travels between the worlds of guitar-oriented shoegaze and synth-based electronic music over the course of Somewhere Away, their debut album. Although they explore various moods, the four-piece frequently chooses to dwell on the darker side of things, with haunting vocals floating over walls of guitars and synths. According to Drowned in Sound, Vibrissae's debut release is ​"​among the year's most impressive releases," with The Big Takeover calling Somewhere Away "a sonically accomplished and stylistically varied batch of songs." The band is the newest member of the This-a-Way Records label and collective, and they recently performed at the This-a-Way Records Fest, as well as the latest Out From the Shadows festival, and this year's Seagaze festival in Seattle.
