Sadurn is a Philadelphia-based indie folk project led by Genevieve DeGroot. Originally conceived as a solo endeavor in 2017, the project evolved into a full band, eventually signing with Run for Cover Records.
Their sound is characterized by extreme intimacy, often categorized within the 'sad girl' or 'bedroom folk' subgenres, though they share significant DNA with the slowcore movement due to their deliberate pacing and sparse arrangements. The 2022 debut LP 'Radiator' received critical acclaim for its unpolished, honest production and DeGroot's ability to articulate complex interpersonal dynamics through simple, evocative lyrics. They are central figures in the contemporary Philadelphia DIY circuit, bridging the gap between traditional singer-songwriter traditions and the experimental textures of modern indie rock. Their influence web includes the lo-fi honesty of Phil Elverum and the melodic sensibilities of Elliott Smith, while they sit comfortably alongside peers like Lomelda and Allegra Krieger in the 'new weird folk' landscape.
