EST. 2019 — PORTLAND, OR
"Where the static ends and the noise begins."
001 / ABOUT
Dead Signal formed in 2019 in a rented rehearsal space in Northeast Portland. What started as a loose collection of studio experiments between five friends became one of the Pacific Northwest's most talked-about live acts inside eighteen months.
Their sound lives in the friction between control and collapse — precise arrangements that unravel at the edges into noise and atmosphere. Influences range from Radiohead and Low to The National and Grouper, but the result is distinctly their own: wide-open and airless at the same time.
After two self-released EPs and a debut LP (Carrier Loss, 2023), the band signed with Partisan Records and began work on their second full-length, due spring 2027. The new record was tracked live to tape in a cabin outside Astoria over three weeks in February.

006 / LINEUP
Vocals / Guitar
Raised on AM radio and late-night drives. Writes every lyric at 3am.
Lead Guitar
Former classical student turned noise-rock convert. Pedal obsessive.
Bass
Holds the low end like it owes her something. Joined after a chance encounter in a record store.
Drums / Percussion
Studied jazz, plays punk. The engine room of the whole operation.
Keyboards / Synth
Layers texture and atmosphere. Her pads are the reason the songs feel like rooms.
