BF/C & Fowl Bay

Formed in San Francisco, BF/C is the sonic brainchild of Barish Firatli and Joel Igor Hammad Magnusson (aka Californiaman). Rooted in rich harmonies, textured synths, and heartfelt lyricism, the duo offers a nostalgic yet futuristic take on electropop. Their music draws comparisons to the retro glamour of Roxy Music, the smoldering cool of INXS, and the eerie intimacy of The Knife—creating what they call poor man’s pop, rich man’s rock. With a magnetic live presence and a catalogue that dances between vulnerability and swagger, BF/C crafts immersive soundscapes that feel like candlelit conversations on a distant planet. Their performances are more than just shows—they’re experiences, inviting the audience into a world painted in neon and shadow. Dead Summer crafts anthems for the in-between moments—the golden hour of heartbreak, hope, and everything left unsaid. With shimmering guitars, cinematic builds, and emotionally charged vocals, their sound lives at the intersection of indie rock and dream pop. Hailing from Vancouver, the band draws inspiration from the likes of The 1975, Wolf Alice, and M83, blending nostalgic textures with modern edge. Whether pulsing through a crowded room or echoing in your headphones, Dead Summer’s music feels both expansive and intimate—built to move you, and meant to stay with you. Live, they’re electric: raw energy wrapped in reverb, drawing you into a world of longing, release, and connection.
