Making harmonic indie pop that's both sophisticated and breezy in nature, the founding members of
Via Audio met in 2003 as students at the Berklee College of Music in Boston before relocating to New York City. Within a year, vocalist/guitarists Jessica Martins and Tom Deis, bassist David Lizmi, and drummer
Dan Molad started playing regional shows and put out a self-titled EP with Kill Normal Records. The band eventually came to the attention of
Spoon drummer and producer
Jim Eno, who offered to record and co-produce their full-length debut at his Public Hi-Fi studio in Austin, Texas. The resulting
Say Something was released by Sidecho Records in 2007. With Adam Sturtevant replacing
Molad, and
Eno returning as producer, Animalore followed on Undertow in 2010.
Via Audio's self-released third LP, 2014's Natural Language, featured the official lineup of Martins, Deis, and Lizmi, while
Molad, by then drummer for
Lucius, acted as producer. ~ Marcy Donelson
