On An On

On An On is an indie pop and dream pop group from Minneapolis, United States. The trio consists of Alissa Eiesland, Nate Eiesland and Ryne Estwing, and it is active from 2012 to the present.

The band forms after the three musicians, who also play together in Chicago and Minneapolis circles, meet while performing at SXSW in Austin, Texas. Before forming On An On, they play together for years in various configurations, most recently as members of Scattered Trees, an indie-pop band. The project grows from a shared wish to move away from the compromises of their earlier work and to make music and art that pushes beyond conventional boundaries.

On An On records its debut album, Give In, in a Toronto studio with producer Dave Newfeld, who is known for work with Broken Social Scene. The album uses synthesizers, electronic beats and ambient textures alongside guitars, bass and drums, creating a ghostly sound that fits the band’s mix of dream pop, shoegaze and indie pop. The record is a ten-track release shaped around themes of loss.
