HAL LAMBERT
Hal Lambert plays improvised music inspired by drone, noise, and psychedelic rock. Based in South Louisiana, he has released recordings on his own Tentative Power imprint, Island House Recordings, NO LABEL NZ, and Dadaist tapes. Reviews have compared his music to the free rock of The Dead C, a mellowed out Orcutt-Corsano duo, or Sonic Youth tuning up their guitars.

OBSCURESS
Obscuress, the duo of Christina Carter and Spencer Dobbs, is a daedal blend of veiled minimalism, auditory portière, and vested text. Having long supported each other’s individual work, Obscuress brings Carter and Dobbs together for the first time, working through their distinct voices, electric guitars, lap steel, mouth organ, keys, and sampled noise to compound original songs for this dedicated project.
Christina Carter, a founding member of Charalambides, is known for her improvisational vocals and guitar work, which have been central to her solo career and numerous collaborations. Her music often explores themes of solitude, spirituality, and emotional sonority, incorporating elements of poetry and visual art. Carter’s discography includes both solo projects and collaborative works that push the boundaries of conventional song structures. Her latest release is For Want of Walls (Unifactor 2024), a book of watercolor paintings and writing.
Spencer Dobbs' eremitic work in song has been described as "beautiful, deep, desperate, drunken late-in-the-night folk music." His releases are collected under the Texas Archives imprint.
