Expandards Live at Ojai Underground Exchange

Expandards Live at Ojai Underground Exchange 12/16: Hailing from Ojai, California, Expandards has carved a niche by fusing Jazz standards, synth-driven pop, and immersive electronic music into original tracks. Their intricate productions blend throbbing basslines and complex rhythms with buttery vocals and melodic hooks. They are known for transportive live shows and experimenting with new sonic terrain, including music improv, where they write songs on the fly, taking single-word suggestions from the audience.

Expandards Music Video Release and Performance: The music duo Expandards, acclaimed for the genre-bending collaboration between keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen of Wilco and the crooner Isaac Koren of the Brothers Koren, announces their first music video premiere for their single “Cycling.” They will celebrate this debut with a screening and live performance with a full band at the Ojai Underground on December 16th at 7:30 pm.

“Cycling”: The music video for “Cycling” encapsulates Expandards’ aim for emotional resonance by combining immersive ambient soundscapes and poetic lyrics with a narrative about a youthful quest for adventure.
