Strength that Dances with Vulnerability. Shimmers of Hope. Static of Pain. Tangles of Human Emotion. Dreams that Float and Realities that Sting. Feelings that Hover just on the Fray. Contemplation and Transformation. Truth. Sadness. Love. Tenacity. Timelessness.
Static of a Stranger is an indie-folk/dream-pop duo based out of Kalamazoo.
Stacy Koviak and Chris Miroslaw are no strangers to the Kalamazoo music scene. They’ve been creating music together for over a decade in various bands (Treading Bleu / Dooley Noted) and individually for another decade prior. Embarking on an entirely new musical endeavor, Static of a Stranger's musical repertoire spans from Koviak's acoustic singer-songwriter roots all the way to layered atmospheric and ethereal anthemic offerings. With potent, introspective lyrics, Koviak's emotive and versatile voice, along with her dynamic guitar playing, combined with Miroslaw's stylish and creative guitar work, and the duo's flexible multi-instrumentalism, they deftly weave profound tales of love, loss, hope, and emotional struggle into tangible music that bends borders and genres.
