Outlier

**Outlier** is an experimental folk duo from Ohio known for their haunting soundscapes and organic approach to music-making. Formed in 2014 by multi-instrumentalists Amelia B. and Eli M., their work blends fingerpicked acoustic instruments, ethereal harmonies, and field recordings captured during their hikes through Appalachian trails. Recent releases like *Thread Through a Loom* and *Through a Set of Rose Shaded Eyes* showcase their knack for weaving environmental themes with introspective storytelling, often accompanied by live improvisations (as heard on *Live '17* and *Dove Pan [Live at Real Art]*). Their collaborative spirit extends to DIY visual art projects, with handcrafted album art and immersive live shows that mirror their earthy, genre-blurring aesthetic.
