The music of Portland, Oregon's experimental pop trio WL (pronounced "well") ranges from cathartic blasts of noise to serene meditations. Built around the graceful voice of singer/bassist Misty Mary and the textural washes of multi-instrumentalist Michael Yun, WL established the fundamentals of their sound on 2013's Hold, a set of songs that touched on indie rock, dream pop, and minimal electronics. The band made the most of their improvisation-based songwriting on 2016's hypnotic Light Years and refined their approach on 2020's uplifting ADHD, which proved that empathy is just as vital to their music as boundary-breaking sounds.
