Lush, moody, ethereal…you’ve heard music described this way before, but somehow Medejin is different. Songwriter Jenn Taranto has created a sound that is not quite pop, and not entirely dreamwave, but none of it quite sounds like anything else. Taranto’s expressive vocals,  often soaked in delay, weave in out of drifting guitar melodies and sparse-but-punchy rhythms that come together in a mesmerizing swirl.  With Matthew Cooke on drums, Rebecca Gutterman on guitar and Ramsey Troxel on bass, their live sound is both nostalgic and euphoric, with a disarming intimacy that tends to leave audiences quietly, beautifully devastated. The band’s debut EP, Eleni - produced by Simon Nicol of Leava and released November 2018, has garnered attention and airplay from KEXP 90.3 FM, and has been included on Larry Rose's "Music that Matters" podcast as well as an in-studio performance on "Audioasis" with Eva Walker.

Medejin has shared the stage with artists such as DoNormaal, Red Ribbon, Bear Axe, Golden Gardens and Dead Spells. Their music has also been heard on DKFM Radio LA, KBFG 107.3FM, The Reverb UK as well as features in Alt Revue and NW Music Scene. They have performed at Seagaze Fest 2019 and have an upcoming show with  Tres Leches this August at the Olympic Sculpture Park put on by the Seattle Art Museum.

Taranto released her first single as Medejin in May 2016 and decided to name the project after her birth place in Colombia. Currently, they are working on their next single set to come out this spring.
