ABOUT

"One of the rare alt-country crossover acts with highbrow cred" - Vogue

"I was listening to the radio, KCRW, and Escondido were playing and i heard this and I just love it, it went right in me." - David Lynch

“If Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name stepped into a vintage El Camino and turned on the radio, Escondido would come blaring out of the speakers." - Garden & Gun

“Escondido the band is steeped in Southwest fantasia, with swirling trumpets, guitar twang, acoustic guitars and slow-motion reverb. Escondido’s debut album, “The Ghost of Escondido” stands on the strength of its songwriting” - Chicago Sun-Times

Escondido is Jessica Maros and Tyler James. Both long time Nashville singer-songwriters, the two met in 2011 during a late night session at James' home studio and bonded over shared love of Ennio Morricone's spaghetti western soundtracks. They recorded their debut album, The Ghost of Escondido, in a single day and released it on their own label, Kill Canyon, in 2013 to critical acclaim. “We wanted it to be like Clint Eastwood playing pop songs at one of the honky-tonks downtown,” James mused. The duo's David Lynch approved sound became the soundtrack to multiple films and TV shows including HBO's Girls and led to appearances on CONAN and ABC's Nashville. The band toured extensively with the likes of Lord Huron, The Lone Bellow, and The Staves before releasing their sophomore album, Walking With A Stranger, in 2016. Following their first national headlining tours, Maros relocated to Los Angeles where the pair recently recorded their 3rd album, Warning Bells, with producer Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Kurl Vile, Beck). The first single, Darkness, is out now.
