This week, CHRVNS and OVRTHNKR sit down with Bellingham artist Kam Lynn to dive into the craft behind the music. They unpack the difference between lyrics-first vs. vibe-first listeners, why imperfection might be the key to great production, and whether gear really matters for a great songwriter. Kam shares what it's like navigating the local scene under 21, favorite actors, and the artists shaping their sound. It's thoughtful, raw, and full of heart—just like Kam's music.

Kam Lynn is a singer-songwriter and skateboarder from Bellingham, Washington. Born into a musical household, Kam was raised by two guitar-playing parents, which fostered a lifelong connection to music. The name “Lynn” is a nod to their mother’s middle name, a subtle tribute woven into their identity. Kam’s songwriting is deeply influenced by lyrical legends like Elliott Smith, Bob Dylan, and Nick Drake, and they’re known for diving headfirst into the emotional depths of their lyrics. When not making music, Kam is likely skating the streets or exploring new ways to blend melody and meaning.

CHRVNS sits down with Now Defunkt and discusses humble beginnings in Huntington Beach, having an open invitation to jam, making music during lockdown, creating a Jamcation, community, finally getting to play live, and making a documentary about the whole thang.

Now Defunkt is a genre-blurring sonic collective that grooves like a vinyl record spinning in a raucous room—raw, electric, and impossible to pin down. Fusing the jagged edges of proto-punk with the soulful swagger of R&B fusion and the gritty rumble of alternative rock, their sound is messy in all the right ways: pulsing, alive, and full of motion. Born from lockdown as a family-and-friends experiment in radical creativity and interdependence, Now Defunkt conjures a primordial soul shift—equal parts catharsis and celebration, always with a twist of lemon. Their music doesn’t settle. It moves, it mutates, and somehow feels right at home everywhere it lands.

CHRVNS and OVRTHNKR sit down with Bellingham’s own Silk Jammies to talk origin stories—from elementary school band days to Robo’s chaotic early mix-tapes that sparked his DJ journey. They get into the eternal Logic vs. Reason debate, pour one out for the dearly departed Sasquatch Festival, unpack a wild LSD trip, and break down the ritual of getting hyped before a set. This one’s equal parts nostalgia, chaos, and sweaty dancefloor energy.

Silk Jammies is an ever-evolving DJ, electronic music production, and entertainment duo based in Bellingham, Washington. Formed in the wake of post-pandemic clarity, Jordan and Robo fused their eclectic music tastes to create genre-blending live sets that are equal parts chaotic, euphoric, and unforgettable. Rooted in house music but never confined by it, Silk Jammies brings high-energy performances that keep dance floors moving and minds buzzing.
