Party of the Sun

**Party of the Sun** is a Minneapolis-based indie folk duo known for their lush, nature-inspired soundscapes and sibling harmonies. Formed by Ethan and Addie Streit, the band blends earthy acoustic arrangements with psychedelic flourishes, creating music that feels equally at home around a campfire or in a misty forest rave. Their DIY ethos shines through self-produced releases like the "Capsule" series (including *Capsule II* and *III*), which pair seasonal themes with warm, layered instrumentation. Tracks like *Giver // River* and *Tamarack Gate* showcase their knack for weaving introspective lyrics with expansive, sun-drenched melodies that evoke both wanderlust and rootedness.

With a reputation for intimate live shows featuring handmade visual projections and community singalongs, Party of the Sun has carved out a niche as Minnesota’s answer to freak-folk charm. Recent releases like *Throughline* and *Love and Plenty* continue their tradition of balancing raw, organic textures with subtle electronic experimentation, cementing their status as cozy yet adventurous storytellers for the overgrown heart.
