A producer and songwriter who traverses shimmery indie electronica, gritty alt-rock, folk, hop-hip, and more in his unpredictable songs, Bartees Strange emerged from Washington, D.C. in 2020. His eclectic debut album, Live Forever, appeared in October of that year. Farm to Table, his first album on 4AD, arrived in 2022, and in 2024, he issued Magic Boy, a vinyl-only collection of early, mostly unreleased material.
