About this Event
May 15th Coma Cinema w/ Trace Mountains & Lena Bartels
is the longest running project of songwriter and producer, Mathew Lee Cothran, known for his work as Elvis Depressedly and The Goin’ Nowheres. Coma Cinema has been active since 2005, remaining independent and happily obscure in an ever dulling world. Coma Cinema is committed to fighting entropy by the alchemy of art, bringing thoughts to life in Cothran and his listener’s minds with a spirit of deep gratitude for those who have listened to and shared his music for many years.
Trace Mountains is the musical project of American indie rockmusician Dave Benton. Benton was formerly the lead singer of lo-fi band LVL UP.
On her sophomore album of abidingly strange and brilliant rock songs, The Brightest Silver Fish, Léna Bartels often writes from somewhere in between emotions. The Brooklyn-via-Portland songwriter observes patterns playing out between her narrators and others—sometimes from a great distance, sometimes from so close that all we can make out is gradient color and blurred motion. She explores the unintentionally destructive ways we express care for one another—how coercion can feel inseparable from desire, and how people become so accustomed to feeling disempowered that they forget their own agency. Informed by the attitude of ‘90s alt-rock and the tight craftsmanship of classic singer-songwriters from Rickie Lee Jones to Aimee Mann, Bartels shifts her musical landscape boldly with the needs of each scene, creating distorted images of a haunted, uncertain world.
