AIRLANDS is a 5 piece Minneapolis Based Indie Collective with a focus on Ethereal texture, harmonic vocals, introverted yet explosive songwriting, and symphonic string arrangements. Sometimes the drums come in from over the hills. Or barefoot from the next room. Think haunting cello and chiming guitar. Harmonies. As many as we can have. Think five people trusting a song, and using it to climb out of the hollows.
AirLands makes songs that are both about what a person knows, and what a person doesn’t know, trusting the songs to hold the space, and do the work and the witnessing.
St. Anthony Mann is the musical venture of Adam Bjoraker. After spending formative years in the Midwestern plains, Mann decided to bring what he'd learned in Milwaukee, Wisconsin back home to Minnesota. With help from friends Ben McKeown (drums), Matt Tessier (bass), and DJ LaFontsee (guitar), Mann uses the guitar and voice to paint songs that attempt to daydream both within and without themselves.
