Seeking Female Co-Vocalist for Rowdy & Tender Band, Exotic Physics

Portland OR

Description

I’m Shawna and I'm in a band called, Exotic Physics ( https://www.exoticphysics.band/ ). We're currently a 4 piece: drummer, bassist, guitarist, and singer/guitarist (me). We need to add another female vocalist. The second vocalist is going to be a central piece to the sound as the vocal angle we’re going after is sort of a My Bloody Valentine + Abba + Stereolab + Bananarama + The Roches + Warpaint + School of Seven Bells kind of thing. I wouldn't consider this a backup vocalist but more like a co-vocalist singing with me as one unified voice. We want to get that droning chorus effect from singing in unison. I do want to harmonize and have some overlapping melodies like Cocteau Twins for dynamics and contrast. But mostly we want that kind of Bananarama “Cruel Summer” vocal sound—chorus-y, sensual, and sassy. If you play any of the following: guitar, keys/synths, percussion, Ableton Push, tape machines, brass, woodwinds, that would be great. We have a posting for an additional guitarist here: https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/muc/d/portland-rowdy-yet-tender-guitar-rock/ .html I write the structure and vibe of the songs and the rest of the band writes parts and arrangements. If you write and have ideas, they are most welcomed. Although, I admit the writing is so close to me yet, I am very open to collaborating at the structure level to see if we click. We practice twice a week (once as a full band and once with some sort of focused effort like vocal or guitar practice). We’re kind people who work hard to do the right thing. So, if you’re still reading this TL;DR posting and it sounds interesting to you, listen to our 2 singles that are out https://www.exoticphysics.band. I have demos of other songs I can share. Send us a link(s) to your favorite songs you did vocals for. Next step would be to meet up to see how we get along and discuss your interests and goals. Then from there, you’d audition with the band. Thank you! Shawna
