LEYA

LEYA is the New York-based experimental duo of Marilu Donovan (harp, vocals) and Adam Markiewicz (violin, vocals), crafting eerie, genre-defying soundscapes that feel both ancient and futuristic. Known for warping classical instruments into otherworldly textures, their music blends hauntingly beautiful melodies with dissonant harmonies, creating a vibe that’s equally hypnotic and unsettling. Since emerging in the late 2010s, they’ve become darlings of the avant-garde scene, collaborating with boundary-pushing artists like Actress and Christina Vantzou (as seen in their recent remix releases) while dropping their own ethereal originals like "Flood Dream" and "I Forget Everything."

With a sound that’s been described as “gothic chamber pop” or “dream logic music,” LEYA thrives on contrasts—soft harp plucks clash with distorted violin drones, whispered vocals dissolve into metallic shrieks, and familiar structures melt into surreal collages. Their work feels equally at home in DIY punk spaces and art galleries, reflecting their knack for turning classical training into something thrillingly unpredictable. Recent tracks like "Win Some" and "Glass Jaw" showcase their signature balance of fragility and intensity, cementing their status as sonic alchemists rewriting the rules of experimental music.
