“Indie pop” is only a surface-level description when it comes to the new band Strange Familia. Fronted by guitarist-keyboardist Brecken Jones and singer Garret Williams, the band portrays a “light and dense” vibe with an artistic style that’s influenced by many sights and sounds. Although the music sounds comedic, underneath lines hidden factors and serious undertones that keen listeners will pick up. Stream their episode of SLUG Soundwaves to hear their album, Yesterday, and catch them at Fork Fest this summer!
