The Curse of Wendigo

**The Curse of Wendigo** is a Vancouver-based psychedelic rock trio known for their swirling blend of stoner rock grooves, folk-inflected melodies, and mind-bending lyrical storytelling. Formed in 2012 by frontperson Levi McEwan (vocals/guitar), bassist/synth wizard Tara Yelle, and drummer Marcus Dahlen, the band carves out hazy, hypnotic soundscapes that evoke misty Pacific Northwest forests and late-night campfire jams. Their work – including breakout albums like *Wildhoney* (2017) and *The Feathered Head* (2021) – often explores themes of nature mysticism, existential dread, and psychedelic introspection, with track titles like *Entheogens* and *Space Beard* nodding to their love of altered states and weird fiction. Renowned for their chaotic-yet-polished live shows (captured on *Live at Robustfest IV*), they’ve built a cult following through relentless DIY touring and a visual aesthetic heavy on moth motifs, flannel, and DIY projection art.
