Private Cathedral

Private Cathedral is a transatlantic art-pop duo formed by multi-instrumentalists Wendy Spitzer and Genevieve Dawson. Their sound blends rootsy, homely vibes with artistic arrangements featuring pianos, organs, bass, synths, and even an English horn, creating a unique chamber pop experience. Influenced by artists like My Brightest Diamond, Tune-Yards, and Cate Le Bon, their music offers a mix of baroque, cabaret, and retro '60s rock elements, with emotionally rich and often playful undertones. Their debut self-titled album, released in May 2025, includes notable tracks such as "Never Underestimate," "Excavation," and "Braille Upon Your Face," each showcasing different facets of their dynamic style.

Private Cathedral's music, released on the Barchan Dune Recordings label, is characterized by a blend of warm instrumentation and artistic creativity, often accompanied by visual elements like music videos that complement their evocative sound. Fans of adventurous, sophisticated pop with a chamber music twist will find much to enjoy in their work.
