MØAA
Coming off the back of her gothic shoegaze debut album "Euphoric Recall" released in 2021, MØAA unleashed her second full length album "Jaywalker"; a nocturnal dream pop record featuring pulsing 909 drum machines submerged under catchy hushed vocals and glistening, reverb laden guitars. Fuzzed out bass lines from the first album have been swapped out with fat chorus and throbbing synths built for melancholic dancing. The new album was written entirely by Seattle born musician, Jancy Buffington, but as with "Euphoric Recall", she worked with collaborator Andrea Volpato who co-produced, mixed, and recorded "Jaywalker" at Fox Studio in Seattle, Washington. Since the inception of the project in 2021, MØAA has headlined tours in the United States, Europe, and the UK, performed at the official SXSW 2022 showcase, Ypsigrock Festival in Sicily, MIL Festival in Lisbon, and shared the stage with artists like Yves Tumor at Artivive Festival in Modena. Another US west coast tour took place in January 2023 with Film School and later that year MØAA headlined their own "Jaywalker" album release tours in Texas, the East Coast, and West Coast in the fall of 2023.
