Brief Candles are a Milwaukee, Wisconsin–based indie rock and post-dream pop band known for their lush, layered sound and live shows that draw comparisons to My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints, and Doves Last. The group was originally formed in Peoria, Illinois, before relocating to Milwaukee, where they have remained active for over two decades.
The core lineup has included Jen Boniger (guitar/vocals), Kevin Dixon (guitar/vocals/synths), Drew Calvetti (bass), and radishbeat (drums). They are recognized for crafting “loud blissrock” with slowly unfolding compositions, blending shoegaze textures with post-punk, psych, and krautrock influences.
Moth Hands is an independent music project from St. Louis, Missouri, created and led by Demi Haynes mothhands.bandcamp.com. The name reflects Haynes’ deep connection to the natural world and her love for quiet, introspective moments — often inspired by the stillness of winter woods and the beauty of snow-covered landscapes
Moth Hands’ sound blends acoustic, ambient, folk, and shoegaze elements, creating a dreamy, atmospheric listening experience mothhands.bandcamp.com. Their lyrics often draw from personal memories, nature, and the emotional resonance of solitude, with themes of nostalgia, longing, and the quiet beauty of the natural world.
