"Up is the Down is the” is the Boise, ID based project from multi-instrumentalist and songwriter, Andrew Martin. The title is a reflection of the backwards and nonsensical world we live in pulling influence from the 1969 Millie Goldsholl animation, “Up is Down”. The band’s sound hovers between jazz, r&b, and avant rock, with a nod to radiohead.

“Like Whitney and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, the band conjures a sweet spot of ’70s soft rock, jazz orchestrations, and gritty indie rock cred.” - Gilde Magazine

“…the group has this very melodic and timely bass driven vibe akin to say Midlake or even Grizzly Bear.” - Austin Town Hall
