About this Event
Coral Grief is the Seattle-based dream pop project of Lena Farr-Morrissey (vocals, bass, synth) Sam Fason (guitar, synth) and Cam Hancock (drums). Rich guitars, glowing synths, driving bass, and ethereal vocals swirl around skeletal drum beats to create a textured, intricate sound that is experimental, playful, and catchy.
The band first emerged onto the Seattle scene with thier self-titled EP, released by Seattle tape label Den Tapes in May 2021. Recorded entirely by Farr-Morrissey and Fason in 2020, the the six tracks contrast themes of isolation and stagnation over propulsive drum machine loops and swirling, lush compositions. The band's sophomore release Daydrops, released February 24, 2023, expands on the trio’s strengths, with more energetic contrasts and vibrant production. Full of double meanings, these songs revolve around feelings of personal and collective stagnation, while also exploring treasure maps amidst the times of disorder and desperation. The first record to feature drummer Cam Hancock, the six songs see the band explore new dynamic territory while continuing to deliver mesmerizing performances with lush, textured production.
Since the release of Daydrops in early 2023, Coral Grief toured extensively through the western US, including festival dates at Treefort Music Fest, Capitol Hill Block Party and South by Southwest. The trio has played some of Seattle’s most iconic venues, opening for acclaimed artists like Indigo de Souza, Chastity Belt, and Luna. With dynamic live performances that seamlessly shift between driving, motorik rhythms and enveloping ambient atmospherics, Coral Grief continues to push forward into exciting new sonic territory.
