<h3><a href="https://nonbinarygirlfriend.bandcamp.com/album/big-and-kind" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">N﻿ONBINARY GIRLFRIEND</a></h3><p>Nonbinary Girlfriend is a bedroom punk band from PDX. The band is now celebrating the release of their first full length album titled “BIG AND KIND,” and the release of their second music video, “BODY.” This June NONBINARY GIRLFRIEND was voted Best New Band in Portland, and also recorded a live session with KEXP! Inspired by bad days, kindness, and taking up space, Nonbinary Girlfriend makes rock existential. Their music experiments with gender and sexuality through self-expression, siren-esque melodies, and reverberating instrumentals. The band hopes to spread validation and happiness through sound. Their music serves as a platform to make people feel seen by personifying their own experiences with sexual assault, queerness, gender expectations, and relationships.</p>

<h3><a href="https://www.xoxocyane.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">C﻿YANE </a></h3><p>Cyane is the new moniker of American composer, performer and sound artist, Sage Elaine Fisher (previously known as Dolphin Midwives).  Her current work for harp + voice + electronics is exposed, ethereal, sensual and textural, drawing on pop, R&B, avant classical and early choral music influences. Hot takes, incantations and translucent songs about love and power, gravity, surrender and interdependence, delivered with arresting vulnerability and fierce grace.</p><p>Her previous moniker, Dolphin Midwives, was known for abstracted harp, voice and percussion using electronics, extended techniques and ritualized processes and has since evolved into the lucid and fierce pop-leaning, vocal-driven Cyane, throughout the creation of Body of Water (Beacon Sound, 2021), the chrysalis of the COVID-19 pandemic, and stepping into the healing arts field.</p><p>Dolphin Midwives’ debut record, Orchid Milk, was self-released on limited edition tape in 2016 (re-released by Obsolete Media Objects). Her installation, Naturaphones, was shown in 2017 at The Bison Building, the culmination of a six month residency for PNCA+OCAC, and featured four large-scale acoustic sculptures, ambient performance, and several sculptural prototypes. She founded and directed Dröna Choir to perform her original choral work, invisibility ritual; performed on the new moon in total darkness, exploring the vastness between silence and sound. Her sound art performance/installation, Break: preparations for the apocalypse, was shown at Variform Gallery in 2018. Liminal Garden, Dolphin Midwives’ debut studio album, was released internationally in 2019 by Beacon Sound/Sounds et al to critical acclaim, earning the artist mentions in The New York Times, SPIN, and The Guardian, among other publications.  In 2019 she joined the ranks of Portland's “Best New Bands” according to the Willamette Week.  She recorded ‘Body of Water’ in 2020 with Tucker Martine at Flora in Portland, OR. The pop-leaning transitional album, released July 2021 by Beacon Sound, earned Bandcamp Album of the Day, best Oregon-made album of 2021 by PDX Monthly and was praised by musikexpress, AudioFemme, Brainwashed, Beats Per Minute, and Treble Zine, among others.</p>

<h3>G﻿EMINI MOON </h3><p>Gemini Moon is the solo project of multidisciplinary artist Jen Tam. Using digital elements, live loops and vocal sampling, Gemini Moon builds a nostalgic lovelorn soundscape reminiscent of 90s R&B radio jams with a wash of noise.</p>
