@ + Ellie O’Neill

@ are the duo of songwriters Victoria Rose and Stone Filipczak, longtime DIY musicians whose roots trace through basement noise shows, warehouses and house venues across the East Coast. Blending psychedelic folk, indie rock and experimental pop, the pair balance classic songwriting with playful, adventurous arrangements that feel both homespun and strangely futuristic. After the unexpected underground success of their debut Mind Palace Music, the duo evolved from a purely long-distance collaboration into a formidable live band, bringing their intricate harmonies and offbeat chemistry to the stage. Their latest album Autosmile, released via 4AD, expands their sound with lush instrumentation, baroque flourishes and emotionally rich songwriting that shifts between darkness, humour and wonder. Working largely from home studios with lo-fi setups and close collaborators, @ create music that is intimate, curious and unpredictable — balancing beauty and discomfort while continually pushing psychedelic folk into new territory.
