History
From 2008-2012, Metavari released two EP's, one full-length, and showcased at the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX as a post-rock oriented full band. During this time the band shared the stage with many notable acts in the post-rock genre including This Will Destroy You, Maserati, Tortoise, The Appleseed Cast, Lymbyc Systym and other indie groups such as Bear In Heaven, Anamanaguchi and Titus Andronicus.
Metavari launched a Kickstarter in 2012 to fund the release of their sophomore full-length. The record was eventually materialized in 2015 with Nathaniel David Utesch as primary composer and producer, saw their departure from the post-rock genre, and was Metavari's debut as an electronic music project. The crowd-sourced LP is titled, Moonless, and was self-released February 2015.
Since 2015, Metavari has released two records with the Los Angeles based label, Mind Over Matter Records; the 7" single, "Oh Diane," in September 2015; and the 12" EP, Tetra A.D., in February 2017. "Oh Diane" is a tribute to David Lynch's Twin Peaks and was featured on the compilation, The Next Peak, Vol III.
Members
In addition to Nathaniel, live shows are often accompanied by the bassist from Metavari’s original line-up, Ty Brinneman.
