On An On’s Nate Eiesland Sounds Off With Jonk Music (In Madison TONIGHT!)

On An On

 

One of our favorite new(er) indie bands on the scene is On An On, whose dream pop sounds are anything but snooze-worthy.  Their debut album, Give In, has been described as “intriguing, ethereal swatches of sounds, mixing retro-sounding harmonies, shimmering synth, and buzzy guitar,” as well as a “haunting yet beautifully bare album…a textural journey over new terrain.”

If you’re not yet sold, take a listen to the whole glorious kit-n-caboodle here, and read a fun, quick Q & A with frontman Nate Eiesland courtesy of Jonk Music here.

The band will be in Madison for a show at the RSR Bar tonight (Thursday, April 25).  Tickets are still available here and at the door.  Don’t miss it!
