"End of an American Experiment is a collaborative project that features fresh talent. The brainchild of Rick Torres, the project's producer, it is an expression of musical creativity in the pop style, where he draws musical inspiration from a wide variety of genres and artists, including Phantogram, Soda Stereo, Dredg, and Odesza. His production style is characterized by intricate layering and attention to detail, resulting in a sound that ranges from the simple to the complex, but is always accessible.
Charlie Hardt is one of the project's featured artists. Her delicate sound is influenced by artists like Billie Eilish, Lauv, Miley and Noah Cyrus, and her lyrics often explore themes of love and relationships. Charlie's haunting vocals give the songs a unique edge.
Sebi is another of the project's featured vocalists. His lyrics often touch on more introspective themes, and his smooth, soulful voice (influenced by artists like Finneas, Jon Bellion, Frank Ocean, and Frank Sinatra) is a perfect complement to the catchy pop melodies in the arrangements.
End of an American Experiment creates music that's both compelling and thought-provoking. With influences ranging from pop icons to experimental bands, each artist brings a unique perspective and set of skills to the group, creating a sound that's always fresh and exciting."
