About LASKA
The songwriters in question are Hannah and Mookie Morton. The band, LASKA, is the sweet spot between heavy and soft - a gentle bruise on a crisp apple. Their mixture of distorted guitars, delicate vocals, and wailing violin encapsulate the dynamic qualities of life itself. Sometimes their work presents as harmonies and melodies meticulously placing themselves like the careful legs of a balletic spider in awe of its own symmetry. Other times, their work arrives as an overdue outpouring. Starting somewhere in the body - ecstatic as the seed of a pure and wordless truth, then erupting as a cathartic yelp. Bonded by blood, forged in psychic battle, sisters Hannah and Mookie channel their lived experiences into music that glides through genres like a canoe on a quiet lake. LASKA is the sound you hear when you're inside of an indelible memory. They are currently based in Portland, Oregon and are backed by Max Johnson on bass and Kai Nealis on drums.
