"Soulful and jagged and groovy and minimal and weird and righteous in the sweetest way...I find myself doing a funny jerky dance whenever I hear these tunes..."- Chris Ballew, frontman for the band "The Presidents of the United States of America".

A child of two artists, Philana Goodrich grew up on Orcas Island, Washington in a cabin on the beach. Philana's influences were nothing short of unusual.

"Philana pushes through the constraints of conventional pop. This music is raw, soulful and inventive." - Jordan Clark, Drummer
Their musical style can be found somewhere between the synth landscapes of the 80’s and the lush soul of the 60’s.
