Invaders of the north, The West Fjords navigates the blasphemous voyage of electro-coated frequencies transmitted from the depths of the arctic centrifuge to the cross streets of New York City. Centered around atmospheric and ethereal aesthetics, the sound is created with guitars, synthesizers and haunting vocal melodies conjuring images of stretched out highways under mountain stars. The West Fords are Christian Marquez, Lynsey Vandenberg, Micah Valdes, Masaki Yamagata & Joel Bernardo.
“The music of the West Fjords is appealing without the intent to gain mass appeal, how refreshing. Telescope is picturesque: simply emotionally vivid music.”

“The album Telescope by a group named the West Fjords provides a unique auditory landscape that harbors music rich with an emotionally provocative subtly. Upon listening to the music of the West Fjords, one can imagine retreating to the Icelandic peninsula in an attempt to heal their soul.”
