In the Audience is an Indie Pop collective based out of Portland, Maine. The group’s debut album What Lives was spearheaded by multi-instrumentalists Jordan Stowell and Cam Jones and features contributions from rising players in both the New England and Toronto scenes.
Their album What Lives is modeled in a way similar to Kate Bush’s 1985 masterpiece “Hounds of Love,” where the artists split her album in half. The first half of the album is a set of short, approachable songs with catchy hooks, while the second half of the album is much more experimental, structurally complex, and innovative.
As of Fall 2010, the band continues to write and play music with more involvement from bandmates Dominic Grosso and Ryan Stevens to follow up their debut release.
