WYD // Blossom Hall // Brianna Kelly

  • Northside Tavern 4163 Hamilton Avenue Cincinnati, OH, 45223 United States (map)

WYD (Columbus) is queer death pop.

“WYD songs are lush and beautiful, layers of gauzy, pulsating keyboards, delicate guitar and minimalist drums creating a haunting musical cocoon for singer Carly Fratianne.” -Columbus Alive

Blossom Hall weaves 60's vocal harmony over 90's indie rock, drawing comparisons to the Pixies and Dirty Projectors. The songs revolve around the dual vocals of Nancy Paraskevopoulos (bass) and Phil Cotter (guitar), cemented by precise yet bombastic drumming. Blossom Hall has opened for Broken Social Scene, Born Ruffians, Frightened Rabbit and R. Ring. The band released an EP, "Parasols" in January of 2018, and are also recording a full-length, "Pyre", to release in 2020.

Brianna Kelly crafts songs that attach themselves to a fleeting connection with the unseen world while rooting itself in a very real topography and landscape. A submission to a force that continues on with or without our attention/devotion. In her liturgical drone-pop songs Brianna weaves hypnotic drones and swells through “When You See It” and “Sanctus” while recalling Julianna Barwick and Grouper in their sedated push and pull. “To Behold You” is held sway under the plodding gloom of Planning for Burial’s linear heaviness.
