Finom

Finom is the current name of the partnership between Sima Cunningham and Macie Stewart, who started out as Ohmme in Chicago and released two albums under that name, Parts and Fantasize Your Ghost. Both came up through the city's overlapping indie, folk and improvised-music circles. Stewart is also a violinist and has made solo records alongside the band.

The songs swing between pop hooks and noisy, abrasive passages, with the two singers trading lead lines and stacking harmonies. Live, the guitars get loud and scraped, and arrangements are often pulled apart and rebuilt mid-song.
