Napaea

**Napaea** is the indie folk brainchild of Anna Morsett and Bram Tobey, a Washington, D.C.-based duo crafting lush, introspective soundscapes since the mid-2010s. Known for their haunting harmonies and poetic lyricism, their music often weaves themes of urban isolation, fleeting connections, and quiet resilience. Tracks like *Museum of Broken Relationships* and *From The City Into The Lake* showcase their knack for marrying raw emotional storytelling with warm acoustic textures and subtle electronic flourishes, creating a sound that feels both intimate and expansive.

With a DIY ethos and a love for genre-blurring experimentation, Napaea’s recent releases—including the dreamy *Odyssey DC* and the brooding *Art Thou Lost At Sea*—highlight their growth as storytellers who aren’t afraid to dive into life’s messy, beautiful contradictions. Their work nods to acts like The Staves or early Iron & Wine but carves out a distinctly modern niche, perfect for late-night contemplations or wandering city streets with headphones on.
