3 pc looking 4 shoegaze and ambient guitar/keys/synth for moody indie

Portland OR

Description

Hi there,  we are bass, drums, and vocals/guitar.  Drums and guitar/vox have been playing and writing thru the pandemic and we hooked up with bass a couple of months ago.  We'd like to add a 2nd guitar player or keys/synth to fill things out. The vision for the slot is a combination of rhythm and lead, washy ambient textures and feedback and noise.  Looking for someone who is comfortable with minimalism and understands that oftentimes (usually possibly) less in more.  This is a role that requires an engagement with effects pedals.   The link below is what we had recorded to recruit for bass and at the moment have not added bass to the recording.  The songs have filled out a lot with the bass.  These recording are 1 take live in a room with vocals overdubbed and no fixes post, so it's kinda raw.  I tune down half a step. We're looking for someone who knows their s&*t, and is no stranger to gigs, bands and music communication.  Not looking for theory maestro's but you need to understand the language. The songs are pretty straightforward but with a lot of nuance. We try to practice 2x a week for a couple of hours. Homework can mitigate some of that. We're in our 40's and have day jobs. One of us even has a family, go figure.  Not looking for much other than local gigs and having fun making some cool graphics.  We're all California soberish. Not uptight about it, though, as long as it sounds good, it's all good. We practice in my basement. It's cozy, but it's also a home so having the right fit personality wise is key in addition to the music. Please reply with a bit about yourself - musical and band history and experience, what part of town you live in, age, what you like to listen to. Replies without samples of your music most likely will not be considered. https://decayfrequencies.bandcamp.com/album/demo Thanks for reading and we look forward to hearing from you. John
