About ear
ear is the duo of Jonah Paz and Yaelle Avtan, who met at Bard College and work out of New York City. Their first release was "Nerves" in 2024, and their debut album, The Most Dear and The Future, came out on their own in September 2025.
Stereogum called the single "Ne Plus Ultra" IDM-inspired: a collage of buzzing bass, small electronic blips and cool, detached vocals. The pair have opened for Yung Lean, sold out two London shows, and were the subject of a short FADER documentary.
