Dunes

Balancing fantasy pop’s swirling atmospheres with taut post-punk minimalism, Los Angeles’ Dunes features vocalist/guitarist Stephanie Chan, baritone guitarist/bassist Tag Greshowak, and drummer/vocalist Kate Hall. Chan also used the Austin rings Finally Punk as well as the Carrots, Greshowak was an associate of Seattle’s Talbot Tagora, and Hall was the drummer for the much-loved Mika Miko. The music group debuted this year 2010 having a limited-edition, self-titled EP on Mexican Summer season, which they adopted with a set of 7″s — one this year 2010 on Artwork Fag and one on Teenage Teardrops in 2011 — and a tape on Ooga Booga, which reflected a far more lo-fi visual than their debut recording Noctiluca, which PPM released early in 2012.
