The Project

About

Crater City is a place — and a sound. A city deprived of light — yet its vast stone chambers still resound with echoes of the human heart. Crater City is our prison, but it also incubates our future. And so, by lantern light, beneath the glacial tides of rock and stone, we sing. These field recordings, carved from endless night, are sparks gleaned from the lives of the people of the Underland.

The band previously recorded as Nervous and the Kid; that catalog still lives on Bandcamp. New transmissions appear under the Crater City name.

Field Notes

The Sound

Folk and pop bones, layered harmonies, and long-form sonic journeys that drift through dissonance before resolving back into the light.

The City

Crater City was founded by accident — by people who went down looking for something else and stayed because the songs were good.
