There is a Japanese term: Mono no aware. It means basically, the sad beauty of seeing time pass - the aching awareness of impermanence. These are the days that we will return to one day in the future only in memories. How do we capture them? How could we possibly be able to fully appreciate them in the present? This project is our attempt to put time under glass.

The Midnight is a marriage between a songwriter from the Deep South and a producer from Denmark who both live in Los Angeles. This is our love song to our city and a testament to the weight these years can hold.

QUERIDO is an artist and composer whose musical modus operandi is less thinking and more feeling, his compositions coaxing you to indulge in neon-lit nostalgia — audial time-travel, really. He captures the warm, glowing essence of a soft sunset on your face as you’re cruising — undisturbed, in a Ferrari, of course — down a countryside road, with the synth-pop soundscapes that he creates.

QUERIDO’s 2019 debut, “For Tonight” (featuring Amy May Roux), raked in hundreds of thousands of streams, making a comfortable home for itself on over 2500 playlists, including Spotify’s editorial “Comeback Pop” playlist, sitting pretty between global retro-pop sensations Dua Lipa, The Weekend, and Chromatics, amongst others. 

After a two-year-long hiatus, QUERIDO makes his comeback with a disco fantasy-fuelled banger, “Gemini” (featuring synth-pop songstress Sulene), which attaches itself to the promise of an upcoming, 5-track EP that further explores his retro synth stylings.

Welcome to Water District, where you will find authentic indie pop rock with a modern emo spin. This exuberant Los Angeles trio blends influences from the indie rock sound of the 2000s with fluid new wave melodies and lyrics influenced by The Smiths and The Cure. Water District re-imagines pop rock for the new generation, who are ready for a return to emotionally sincere and harmonious music.

Inspired by his artistic upbringing in Southern California—his mother is a painter and his father was a mod rocker in the 1960s—lead singer Tice Griffin recorded his first demo when he was 19 and went on his first West Coast tour shortly thereafter. While living in a van outside of a studio where he worked as a technician, Griffin envisioned himself as the front man for his own band and committed himself to pursuing his dream. Since then, Water District has released a demo album, an EP and various singles, to critical acclaim and national airplay. The band is rounded out by Erik Williams on drums and Ryan Scottie on bass.
