The Deaf Institute, 20 May 2026
When the women of Blackwater Holylight left their hometown of Portland OR three
years ago, their mission was to escape the gloom of the Pacific Northwest and the
placating comfort of familiarity. Aiming for the sunnier climes of LA, the band found
themselves not only in a warmer environment, but in a blank slate landscape—one
without jobs, longtime friend groups, and the easy retreat of old habits. And it was here,
unencumbered by the contentment of security, that Blackwater Holylight began diligently
working on their fourth full-length album, Not Here Not Gone.
