Unseen Rain

is an experimental ensemble from Philadelphia. Delving into the sound worlds of places beyond human reach, their music evokes the echolocation of ocean floors, the bustling of anthills, and the cosmic reverberations of extraterrestrial life. The group’s instrumentation of strings, vibraphone and modified drum kit lends itself to an intimate, quieter aesthetic that embraces space, and slow-building forms. Led by violinist June Bender, Unseen Rain released their first album, Out Beyond, and contributed music to the documentary, Queer Genius, in 2019. Their second album,Drift, will be released this fall.
