Chestnut, formed in 2015, is a Los Angeles via Florida based experimental sound duo comprised of husband and wife artists Christina Santa Cruz, and Daniel Watkins. Beginning as a Letterist response to the posturing of American "classic rock” Chestnut has matured towards a practice that incorporates elements of harsh noise, ambient music, field recording, and alternative rock.
Their work carries an implicit narrative quality with each song forming its own little universe of found sounds and discordant instrumentation onto which their vocals act as AM radio tour guides through the unmarked hotspots of the haunted American landscape.
"Sometimes, though, the world inverts, turns upside-down, and the unexplainable breaks through. Things don’t always make sense, and Chestnut’s shadow-strewn music is a part of that inversion.” (James Catchpole, A Closer Listen)
