Other Lives

Other Lives is an American indie rock band hailing from Stillwater, Oklahoma, known for their orchestral soundscapes and cinematic compositions. Formed in 2004, the band was initially called Kunek and released one album under that moniker before evolving into Other Lives in 2008. The core members consist of Jesse Tabish (piano, guitar, lead vocals), Josh Onstott (bass, keys, vocals, percussion), and Jonathon Mooney (piano, violin, guitar, percussion, trumpet). Their eponymous debut album, "Other Lives," set the stage for their elaborate and emotive sound, drawing listeners into a rich tapestry of indie rock augmented by classical and folk elements.

Over the years, Other Lives has continued to refine their distinctive style, marked by a deep-layered approach to songwriting and instrumentation. Albums such as "Tamer Animals" and "Rituals" have expanded their fan base and garnered critical acclaim, earning them spots touring alongside bands like Radiohead and Bon Iver. The band's music often contemplates themes of existentialism, nature, and the human condition, wrapped in lush melodies and expansive arrangements. With their 2020 release, "For Their Love," Other Lives present a collection of songs that retain their trademark grandeur while venturing into new, introspective territories, further solidifying their position as craftsmen of intricate and moody sonic worlds.
