Advance Base is the melancholic soft rock recording project of Chicago, IL singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals & drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, & nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as "lo-fi," "depressed" & "weirdly uplifting."

Moontype is songwriter Margaret McCarthy’s dreamworld come to life. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the band features Emerson Hunton on drums, and Joe Suihkonen and Andrew Clinkman on guitar.

The New York Times described their single "Ferry" as having a sound that “marries the woozy swoon of Beach House with the rising sweep of a Galaxie 500 song, though McCarthy’s voice cuts through the haze with direct emotional lucidity.”
