Full Affect Information

Under the moniker Full Affect, Sy and Orb create richly emotional indie folk, addressing the modern world and its anxieties with compelling, thought-provoking lyricism. They are veterans of the Montreal and Seattle scenes, giving their song-craft unique wisdom and charm. Their debut releases are eclectic, urgent, and moving – a perfect introduction to the duo. Both Sy and Orb have worked in healthcare, giving them an up-close view of how people are shaped by trauma, loss, and recovery. These themes are prevalent in their music, as well as more existential issues like climate change. Despite their occasionally heavy subject matter, Full Affect retains a spirit of catharsis and inspiration, with each song taking on a life of its own. Ultimately, both Sy and Orb are intent to build connections and community, and hopefully, leave a lasting legacy with their music.
