Music that holds you while you cry: Hannah Sandoz's arrangements weave tender lyrics and lush soundscapes for guitar, vocals, and laptop. 

Sandoz first started writing songs as a teen, using scrappy recording techniques and candid lyrics to build their first portfolio. Through years of classical training in composition and production at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, they've formed a reverent practice that explores tenderness, shared experiences, and emotional memory. 

​

The track "all of god" from their latest release, MF / HS,  embodies this with strong storytelling and layered vocals which gradually build and swell, shifting from harmony into dissonance with ease before reaching their lonesome climax.

 

MF / HS was released in October 2025, four years after Sandoz relocated to Chicago. To promote its release, they toured across the west coast, covering 6,000mi in 2 weeks. They performed at independent venues like Junior High (LA) and Kilowatt (San Francisco).

​

Hannah Sandoz’s ethereal vocals and gauzy instrumentals take on a rural allure that will resonate with fans of Adrianne Lenker, Grouper, or Animal Collective.​
