ELAINE LACHICA (US)
From Brooklyn, NYC, US
Website / Facebook / Twitter / Bandcamp
"Hailing from Brooklyn, Elaine Lachica's LP 'I think I can see the ocean' lies somewhere between dream pop, indie rock and shoegaze. Featuring 'Rapture', 'Clearing', and 'Tumbleweed', the album contains florid passages and intricate vocal arrangements which often stand in contrast to guitars that churn in dissonant counterpoint. Produced by Kieran Kelly (Will Stratton) and Elaine Lachica and featuring Rob Moose (Bon Iver)."
