DUNES are a mysteriously ethereal and minimal trio from Los Angeles. Appropriating pop and experimental music into a familiar swirl, while retaining a fresh outlook and approach, DUNES inhabit a space of tweaking, twisting, imagining moments and emotions from the past, destined to end up as their future.

Stephanie Chan, formerly of Austin Texas bands FINALLY PUNK and THE CARROTS plays guitar and sings in DUNES, she creates surreal and dreamy narratives with her lyrics and uniquely beautiful, powerful voice.

Mark Greshowak plays barritone guitar and sometimes bass, he used to write songs and tour with seattle area band TALBOT TAGORA, now he and Stephanie weave their melodies back and forth, making lush tones for our eardums.

Kate Hall, played drums in MIKA MIKO before holding down the rhythmic duties and also singing for DUNES.

Having released a 12" EP on Mexican Summer, two 7" EP's, one on Los Angeles label Teenage Teerdrops, the other on San Diego's Art Fag and a tape on Ooga Booga DUNES are primed to release a full length to the world.

Together, here is a blend of three people experimenting and working towards a common goal, these undoubtedly great pop songs sink in further as you listen more and more, and nowhere is this more evident than on their first full length and newest release, "Noctiluca".

11 tracks, exhibiting a form crafted, a band in their own element giving to us what they see fit.

"Noctiluca" is a well thought out record, moments can bring you to the crafty and whimsical pop of The Cocteau Twins, while staying stripped down to feel as though it may be through the lens of Richard Hell, or as anxious as R.

Stevie Moore, it all makes sense as the songs go by and get inside, you feel a great joy for a band to exist in the manner in which you thought couldn't.

Post-punk, Post-pop music played and interpreted by three great players who hold nothing back.

This is such a visual and visceral record, that it only makes sense that DUNES would have visuals behind them when they play, or as they put it "our record release will be a screening of every song in the form of a music video made by our friends and artists".

DUNES are creating a world for your ears and your eyes to enjoy, fresh enough and smart enough not to borrow but to reinterpret and create, that world cements itself with the release of "Noctiluca".
