the darkwave demo

The Darkwave Demo is the independent music and visual project of Bryar Herrick, originally formed in Lynden, Washington and now based in Arizona City, Arizona. Built around a DIY, auteur-driven approach, all songs, lyrics, recording, and production are handled by Herrick, with occasional guest collaborators.The current incarnation of The Darkwave Demo blends the swirling textures of classic shoegaze artists like My Bloody Valentine with the desert-baked stoner rock of Fu Manchu and Queens of the Stone Age.

Musically and visually, the project combines analog film aesthetics, late-night Americana, surreal humor, dreamlike imagery, and recurring characters into a cohesive world that feels equal parts shoegaze haze, desert noir, and forgotten VHS transmission. The Darkwave Demo is an ongoing multimedia universe where the music, artwork, and mythology are inseparable.
