Songwriter Al Olender tries to grasp the brief, beautiful moments that make up our lives in slow-motion but finds that the tighter she holds on, the more these frames fall into a soupy blur. Change is our only constant, but what if we wanted to steep in the now? What if we could stay right here? Olender captures the anxieties of an ever-moving world with a sweet and silly sincerity on her second full-length album The Worrier, never shying away from staring the truth right in the face. Exploring anxiety, sexuality and anarchy, both in herself and in her relationships, Olender’s acoustic, bluesy melodies point to the butterflies of first crushes, the gut-punching realities of responsibility and the eternal romance of friendship.

Ahna Ell is a songwriter steeped in poetry and wandering. Her fourth release, 2026's Ride On, marks her most imperative work yet with its unflinching embrace of longing and resolve. After touring for a decade (Forlorn Strangers, The Rally Club), Ahna launched her solo project with lofi bedroom folk album Everybody's Gonna Let You Down in 2021, followed by two live EPs, and a handful of singles. Now, she's on the road bringing the songs to life as often as she can. Birth, death, pancakes, heartache, Charles Manson, and Pascal’s God shaped hole—Ell mines the ordinary and the exceptional for meaning. When not writing, Ahna’s probably surfing or eating oysters.
