Her 2013 self-released album Overdue received accolades from Pitchfork, KEXP, Rookie, Ad Hoc, and more. Circuit des Yeux has toured extensively and has shared stages with Xiu Xiu, Sir Richard Bishop, Bill Orcutt, Oneohtrix Point Never and more.
Dommengang is Adam Bulgasem, Brian Markham, and Sig Wilson, three musicians with roots in the Portland psych scene. They joined Emil Amos as the backing band for Holy Sons on his last US tour, and thoroughly blew everyone at Thrill Jockey away. The band brings together elements of psych, blues, and boogie that is sure to please fans of Pontiak and Arbouretum.
