Their story
Odalys Fern grew up singing in a children's choir in Portland and began layering her own voice on a looping pedal in 2009. Her debut 'Cloud Chorus' (2011) was a home-recorded EP of stacked harmonies, followed by 'Delay Garden' (2014), where shimmering guitars and slow analog arpeggios arrived. 'Window Hours' (2017) and 'The Slow Bloom' (2021) built her reputation for music made for staring out of windows. She remains a one-woman choir, recording every layer herself.
Influences: Choral music, 70s psychedelic folk, analog synth arpeggios, rainy window afternoons, church reverb, ambient tape music
Latest from Odalys Fern
- Happy Friday, window-watchers. The leaves outside have gone copper and the evenings come early, which suits what I'm starting next: a small EP called "Lantern Hours." Five songs of stacked voices, slow arpeggios and church-reverb glow, growing out of "Night Market, Lanterns Going Out." Thank you for listening. Pour something warm and watch the evening with me.
