Crystal & Quiet

 

In February 2019, crystal & quiet released their debut EP Sun Balloon to a sold out room at The Sunset Tavern in Ballard. These warm, rhythmic, and layered songs are a series of stories and anecdotes from a young romantic seeking love, crystal’s guide to accepting lost love, to recognizing a yearning to be near people that takes us to unexpected, and sometimes toxic, places.

 

This remembering/forgetting continues to be a guiding tone for cyrstal’s songwriting, and will define, with higher contrast, the debut full-length album Dreams Up, set to release at the end of 2019.
