HEXTERIA
Residing at the crossroads of electronica and dream pop, Hexteria’s brand of hauntingly seductive music is rooted in the dark and ethereal. Imbued with poetic lyrics, and floaty synth work juxtaposed against a kaleidoscope of weighty motifs, the Oregon-based artist evokes complex and cinematic emotions.
Hexteria is a visually-led creator at heart, with many of her releases drawing influence from modern cinema and other media forms. Her latest record was heavily inspired by ‘90s erotic thriller films, translating and echoing their visual and emotional themes. She has released Passion Aggressive, an experimental 5-track E.P and two full length albums: Psychic Tantrum (2020) and Erotic Thriller (2022). The single, "Runneth Over" was released in 2024.
"Erotic Thriller is epic, ambitious, genius, lovely, strange and beautiful. A mammoth achievement! Why she is not number one eludes me. Pure class. What a brilliant mind!"
- Steve Kilbey (The Church)
releases
With the full length album Erotic Thriller released in 2022, the inner world of Hexteria was expanded to include a narrative version of the album in the form of a companion book (physical and audio), offering an immersive listening experience and incorporating other complimentary poetry and prose.
"An album that may make you want to drop what you're doing (your clothes, perhaps?) and just bathe in the sound. A powerful voice with a composer's knack for range, dynamics and subtlety. There are SO many perfect sonic and compositional touches and moments with each track. I was well-impressed with her prior album as well. Yet another artist Lynch should've snapped up for the end of the TP [Twin Peaks] The Return episodes. 100%.”

"Hexteria possesses a voice with otherworldly qualities. If you dare to listen to her in person you are likely to suffer an acute case of the gooseflesh."
