Hether
Hazy guitar pop steeped in jazz harmony and California psych-soul
Based in Los Angeles, United States
Mostly midtempo and slow-burning, Hether pairs woozy electric guitar, subdued drums and close, delicate vocals with jazz harmony and occasional strings, flute and vibraphone. The recent material on Holy Water is fuller and stranger than his early bedroom recordings; his live arrangement of “Monica” turns that palette into a compact ensemble piece.
More about Hether
Castelluzzo came up playing San Diego jazz bars with trumpeter Curtis Taylor before entering Los Angeles’s pop and R&B session network; his credits include Romeo Santos’s Golden and the Free Nationals, Mac Miller and Kali Uchis track “Time.” Holy Water places his own songs in the R&R orbit around Dijon and Mk.gee, joining 1960s jazz references to the skewed intimacy of current Los Angeles guitar music.
