delic, IDM, glitch,
doom metal, indie folk, and old time
Appalachian music. Sometimes all at
once. A bit hauntological, a bit outsidery. Noise/photos/film/words/art/design/fashion. Pointedly mid-fi at best. If you book us we
will prove both pretentious and deafening. Asking us to turn down won't save you. Chiefly helmed by Magpie (aka Zachary
Corsa) (mostly guitars and synths) and
Denny Wilkerson Corsa (mostly field
recordings and percussion). Frequent
conspirators include Robert Traxler (The
Family Ghost), Ben Ricketts, Dr. Nathan
DeYonker (Noiserpuss, Dark Meat), Kip
Uhlhorn (Cloudland Canyon, Panthers,
The Red Scare), Avery Vaughn (The Family
Ghost, Birmingham Sits Throned), Jacques
Granger (The Family Ghost, Revenge Body),
Jack Alberson (J. Robot), Dominic Van Horn
(Aster), Malcolm Wright (Dinosauria), David
Howle (Disco Volante), and Kentucky Colonel
Blake E. Conley (Droneroom, Burial Cake). Other collaborators have included current
and former members of Deerhoof, No Age,

Nonconnah would like to acknowledge that our home and studio is located on the traditional homelands of the O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ (O-ga-xpa) (Quapaw) and Chikashsha Iyaakni' (Chickasaw) peoples, stolen as a result of colonialist oppression. Out of respect and appreciation, we humbly honor the living history and enduring cultural contributions of its stewards.
