"Their psychedelic dream-pop blooms with layers of guitars, glimmering synths and Eresman’s breathy, beautiful vocals and, much like indie favorites Beach House, their catchy pop melodies are wrapped in a gauzy, noise-addled veneer." - Dayton City Paper, Justin Kreitzer

Bio
strangewave is the name that emerged when two Ohio songwriters, J. Trenton Crace and Katrina Eresman, blended their complementary styles. The two longtime friends began writing together after sharing the stage for Crace’s tour of Ohio in support of his second solo album. His taste for pop melodies and rock’n’roll blended perfectly with her tendency towards dissonance and dark, etheric tones.
After spending a year composing, producing, and recording, the duo presents their debut album.
Pop Noir is a collection of rock songs drawn up lean and thoughtful, like a singer-songwriter would do, with the melody and mood of a dream pop band. There are heavy backbeats, pop hooks and colorful, stream-of-consciousness lyrics. With their imagination in full bloom, Crace and Eresman have managed to make each song its own world, with its own laws, evoking strange and wild scenes that persist in the minds of their listeners long after the music is over.
