Boreas

Music – Tucson

Boreas is a classically-trained rock band with lush vocal harmonies, a fierce DIY streak and a willingness to plunge into a wide range of musical styles. Described by local radio station KXCI as “baroque pop,” their music resounds with echoes of the Beach Boys, Animal Collective, Paul Simon, Radiohead and Steve Reich. Their live show, using stripped-down drums and no effects, is in turn intimate and explosive. Boreas has self-produced and recorded two albums, using the spaces of their native Tucson to create a sound that is versatile, intricate and alive. Boreas is Evan Casler, Sam Golden, Bob Hanshaw, Alan Mackey and Seth Vietti.
