Vines is the solo project of composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Cassie Wieland. Praised by The New York Times as “sweetly shimmering,” Vines masterfully experiments with intimate ambient and experimental pop sound worlds to achieve the massive and hand-made vibe she is often searching for. Across her practice, Vines’s music shines a light on knotty feelings that are hidden just under the surface; on her debut EP 'Birthday Party' she braids poignant, rich instrumentals with sparing lyrics to weave lush, contemplative tapestries, finding catharsis in fuzzed-out melodies. Her music has been featured on Stereogum, KEXP, New Sounds, NPR, The New York Times, Financial Times, I Care if You Listen, AnEarful, and The Road to Sound. She has also already made waves on Tiktok covering indie pop favorites with her uniquely processed vocals. photos by bedford towers and Anna Longworth
