**S.B. Olson** (the musical alias of Minneapolis-based artist Stephen William Bashaw) crafts gritty, genre-blurring soundscapes that sit at the crossroads of experimental rock, lo-fi psychedelia, and post-punk. Known for his raw, DIY ethos, Bashaw self-produces much of his work, layering distorted guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and cryptic lyricism that nods to existential themes and surreal storytelling. With releases like *Deadly Flowers* and *Spirit Language* (via labels like Forced Exposure affiliates Forged Artifacts and Stroll Records), his sound channels the restless energy of underground rock while embracing tape-hiss charm. Beyond solo work, Bashaw collaborates with fellow Midwestern experimentalists, cementing his role in Minneapolis’ left-field music community. His prolific output—including recent albums like *Harpoon* and *Sweet Creatures*—feels like a fever-dream journal, equal parts chaotic and contemplative.
