Canyons of Static is an American post-rock band hailing from Wisconsin, recognized for their emotionally charged instrumentals that weave complex guitar work with lush, electronic soundscapes. Formed in the mid-2000s, the band consists of husband and wife team Ross and Aggie Severson, who play the guitar and keyboards respectively, along with drummer Nathan Gaffney and bassist Chris Biertzer. Canyons of Static’s sound is marked by a distinct blend of ambient melodies and crescendos that build from gently nuanced to magnificently intense.

Over the years, the band has honed their craft, leading to the creation of their most evocative works to date. "Farewell Shadows," released in 2012, is a poignant collection of tracks that showcase the band’s knack for atmospheric storytelling through music. "Northern Highland," which followed in 2013, saw them exploring expansive sonic territories with a blend of textures that encapsulate the serene beauty of natural landscapes. Their 2020 EP, "The Disappearance," continued this exploration into auditory space, offering a deep, contemplative dive into themes of loss and the passage of time. With each release, Canyons of Static affirms their dedication to a genre that eschews lyrics for layers of sound, allowing listeners to imbue the music with their personal narratives and emotions.
