Lazy Trail

Lazy Trail is the new project of songwriter Emma Willer. Named after

the street she grew up on, it marks her return to songwriting since her

stint in the small but renowned indie band, Slumbers, which consisted

of her and her high school best friends from Rochester, NY. She

became a member of Boyscott in 2017, further garnering her place in

the DIY/indie music stratosphere. Throughout the years she's

harnessed her craft-allowing the songs to form and grow, collect

dust, and be made again. Lazy Trail takes you on lush adventures and

offbeat musical excursions, guiding you through hazy daydreams of

succinct simplicity. These trails venture into their own unique terrain

and bluffs of enigmatic views. Sparse thoughts, direct and harrowing,

snap beneath your feet like the twigs on the forest floor. Her voice is a

unique tonal meld of melancholy and longing, instantly recognizable.

Themes of depression, friendship, growing older, and dissipating

relationships all peer out from the shrubbery skirting the trails. There's

the continual stirring of a fruit fly, the dripping of the moon, and the

possibilities of eternal friendship. Throughout it all is a hopefulness

and longing for simpler days.

Wow, Okay, Cool

Wow, Okay, Cool is a New Haven-based musical project featuring Tim Fitzpatrick, Julian Michaels, Dan Barletta, and Ceej Dioguardi. Launched by Fitzpatrick as a solo endeavor in 2021, the lineup expanded in 2023 with local punk scene veterans to build a dynamic live presence. The band's 2021 EP, Disproportionate Responses, blends 2000s post-hardcore, post-punk, and noise rock to tackle themes of late-stage capitalism, mental health, and American imperialism with a meticulous underlying approach.
