The Saxophones

The Saxophones are the dreamy indie project of Oakland-based musician Alexi Erenberg, who crafts breezy, introspective tunes blending elements of jazz, folk, and surf-pop. Alongside collaborator and partner Alison Alderdice, Erenberg creates hazy soundscapes using saxophones, flutes, and warm analog synths, evoking coastal sunsets and nostalgic reverie. Their music, including albums like *Eternity Bay* (2020) and *Songs of the Saxophones* (2018), often explores themes of nature, longing, and quiet introspection, delivered with a DIY charm. Recent releases like *Desert Flower* and *All There Is* continue their signature mix of laid-back grooves and wistful lyricism, while remixes (like Maston’s take on *Take My Fantasy*) add fresh textures to their coastal-noir aesthetic. The duo’s relocation to the Pacific Northwest subtly influences their evolving sound, maintaining their reputation as purveyors of cozy, melancholic daydreams set to music.
