“Altamont” the latest single from August to August, now playing on M.P.R Chill.
“Altamont” is a single from August to August’s sophomore LP, “Slow Down”. The lyricless track mixes a Julien Baker inspired guitar riff with bright keys, steady hip hop drums, inaudible rhythmic vocals, and a lead saxophone line giving it a lofi feel.
August to August is a one man band from Spokane, WA that mixes acoustic drums with ambient synths, guitars, keys, vocal samples, and more to create an ethereal lofi hip hop sound. The artist is known for a live solo performance that involves switching between and simultaneously playing keys, a Roland Octapad, and an acoustic drum kit.
After a decade of drumming in and touring with various bands from the Pacific Northwest, Jayson Orth began this solo project. What started as an experiment to push himself artistically turned into something he began to share through his unique performance style.
August to August’s sophomore album, “Slow Down”, was released independently on February 9th, 2024 on vinyl and all streaming platforms. It was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by Jayson Orth.
