About Waxling

​

Waxling is a pacific-northwest art rock and dream pop outfit founded at the beginning of 2025, led by multi-instrumentalist Henry Lingg in Seattle. From lush harmonies, haunting strings, and complex drums, Waxling attempts to capture emotions through narritive storytelling in music, both lyrically and through composition.

​

About Lanterns

​

Waxlng's first album, LANTERNS, was released on July 21st, 2025. Lanterns is a concept album which tells a story of a broken narrator navigating through the perils of human connection. It features seamless song transitions, vibraphone, odd time signatures, and impressive guitar work, all with the help of fellow multi-instrumentalist Dylan Steed.

​

Lanterns also features performances by Daniel Mun (Cello), Cindy Liang (Viola), Kaitlin Nguyen (Violin), John Thornburg from Asterhouse (Drums and Vocals), and Amber Joy (Vocals). Additionally, the cover art was created by Marley Gathmann, and the album was mastered by Mick Morrison.

In order to capture the complexity of the recorded material, the Waxling live ensemble pulls from some of the best performers and musicians in the Seattle music scene. Our regular ensembles features: Alex Rutter (of Mother Rain) on drums and backing vox, Joseph Morales (of The Prince On) on lead guitar and backing vox, Kaitlin Nguyen on violin and backing vox, and Dave Lingg (of Echos of Epic) on keys, synth bass, and backing vox. We also occasionally feature a greater string section, as well as features (such as John Thorburg and Amber Joy) for live performances as well.
