Tender Mercy: https://tendermercy.bandcamp.com/
“Louisville’s Mark Kramer (aka Tender Mercy) crafts softly dramatic experimental folk ballads that analyze the hypnotic ability of sound.“
-Zach Hart/We Listen For You
Halicon: https://halicon.bandcamp.com/
“I like to make sounds about contrast. Atmospheric and melodic, but sometimes aggressively harsh and obtuse.“
