Hillside

**Hillside** is an indie folk-pop duo from Portland, Oregon, formed by sibling duo Clara and Ethan Cole in 2020. Known for their warm harmonies and introspective lyrics, the pair crafts music that blends acoustic intimacy with subtle electronic textures, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Their 2021 debut EP, *First Light*, introduced their knack for storytelling, and their 2023 single "Golden Tears" caught fire on Spotify playlists, cementing their reputation for crafting songs about resilience and human connection—themes echoed in recent releases like "We Have to Trust" and "Broken Wings." With live performances praised for their raw, heartfelt energy, Hillside has drawn comparisons to acts like The Head and the Heart while carving out a cozy niche in the modern folk scene.
