Still Corners

Still Corners is a British-American duo consisting of songwriter/producer Greg Hughes and vocalist Tessa Murray. Formed in London in 2007, the band initially gained traction through the Sub Pop label with their debut 'Creatures of an Hour' (2011), which leaned heavily into 60s-influenced psych-pop and ethereal dream pop.

Their sound underwent a significant evolution with 'Strange Pleasures' (2013), moving toward a more polished, synth-driven aesthetic that prioritized atmosphere and 'vibe' over traditional pop structures. Culturally, they occupy a unique niche that bridges the gap between the UK's indie-pop heritage and the 'desert noir' sounds of the American Southwest, a shift most evident on 'Slow Air' (2018) and 'The Last Exit' (2021). Their influence web includes the shimmering textures of Cocteau Twins and the cinematic scope of Ennio Morricone. Critical consensus highlights their exceptional ability to maintain a consistent mood across entire projects, often described as 'travel music' for the soul. They are staples of the modern dream pop canon, frequently cited alongside peers like Beach House and Widowspeak for their mastery of reverb-soaked, melancholic beauty.
