As a member of Tomato Flower, Austyn Wohlers creates free-range art-pop that’s littered with atonal tendencies, rhythmic detours, and emotional indulgences for a wholly listenable barrage of sound. The Baltimore-via-Atlanta musician, composer, and author's ‘Bodymelt in the Garden of Death’ offers a richly enigmatic affair that explores harrowingly relatable themes in a sensory overload of aural viscera.
Featuring supporting local project Laurentse, the moniker of Chicago-based musician Max Reikosky. Via prior releases with Shimmering Moods Records and Melty Tapes, his output spans electro-acoustic ambient palettes to art-damaged sound collage. His current work aims to explore the process of merging identities through cross-genre pollination, multi-instrumental experiments, and spontaneous field recording.
