Artist Biography

Taigá is a psychedelic / folk / prog band led by musician and songwriter Jonathan Spruance, based in Seattle, Washington. Drawing on influences ranging from 60s Swedish psychedelia and classical sitar music to early 90s alternative / indie rock with subtle jazz undertones, the music embodies a rich tonal tapestry that bubbles, flows, melts, and congeals into one cohesive whole.

The first album, Twelve Sketches, was released in 2010 and revolves around the sound of the Hammond organ.

The second album, Stone Goddess, is a return to a guitar/vocal-driven sound. It was recorded over a period of 3 years in various Seattle-area studios as well as in a log cabin in the Cascade Mountains.

Stone Goddess was mixed by Mitch Easter (Let's Active / REM) who also appears as a guest guitarist on the track 'Fill the Ocean'. The album was mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in NYC and is slated for release on June 20, 2014.
