Known as a transient bandmember, session musician, and touring sideman for a number of indie and folk outfits, mostly in his home base of Portland, Oregon, multi-instrumentalist Dave Depper also writes and records his own solo material. He's played with artists ranging from Ray LaMontagne to Robyn Hitchcock, Menomena, and Fruit Bats, and became a member of Death Cab for Cutie in 2014. His first official solo album of original songs arrived via Tender Loving Empire in 2017. Five years in the making, Emotional Freedom Technique offered an intimate version of synth pop informed by the isolation of life on the road. ~ Marcy Donelson
