Bay Ledges, the indie pop project masterminded by Zach Hurd, has carved a niche in the music scene with its breezy, electronic-tinged sound that effortlessly captures the essence of California's laid-back lifestyle. Hailing from the coast of Maine, Hurd initially moved to Los Angeles for a change of scenery and found inspiration in the city's vibrant energy and diverse landscapes. The project gained significant attention with the 2016 viral hit "Safe," a track that encapsulated the project's knack for catchy hooks layered over whimsical, lo-fi beats. This initial success set the stage for Bay Ledges to become a name synonymous with infectious indie pop that feels both personal and expansive.

The evolution of Bay Ledges can be seen through releases like "Kids," "Silver," and "Float," which showcase not only Hurd's growth as a songwriter and producer but also his ability to weave together elements of folk, electronic music, and pop into a cohesive sound. Tracks such as "Sylvia (Nanana)" and "In Water" highlight the project's range, from introspective ballads to upbeat anthems, always maintaining an intimate connection with listeners through relatable lyrics and melodies. Through a series of singles and remixes, including innovative reworkings like "In Motion (Bay Ledges Remix)" and "The Golden Age (Bay Ledges Remix)," Bay Ledges continues to explore the complexities of love, life, and identity, cementing Zach Hurd's status as a creative force in the indie music landscape.
