Between the Buried and Me

VVirtuosic metal with oodles of tastly little breaks and refreshing 7th and 11th chords sprinkled around. Check out "Things We Tell Ourselves in the Dark" and "Absent Thereafter." Vocals run the gamut from growling to soaring harmonies. Songs are LONG. Sound like they're from Norway but they are North Carolinians!

Fruit Bats

Very listenable indie folk-pop solo project of Eric D. Johnson. Mostly acoustic instruments. Decent vocals.

PVRIS

It's pronounced "Paris," dummies! Solo project. Well crafted heavy-ish electronic pop-rock. They/them.
