Unalaska began as a joke: Edo Van Breemen and Zachary Gray played members of a fictional band in the cult vampire thriller Afflicted. When a Parisian audience responded to their on-screen performance, the pair decided to turn the fake band into a real project. The result was their self-titled debut EP, a cross-continental collaboration blending Van Breemen's background as a film score composer with Gray's pop guitar riffs.
Unalaska's debut EP has drawn praise for its spooky, loopy, post-cinematic groove, with critics noting flawless timing between noise, electronic beats, and ghostly voices across four songs that each use a different structure. Reviewers have described the band's 'uncanny penchant for making slightly weird surrealist rock,' inventive enough to flirt with psychedelia while staying controlled and endlessly re-listenable.
