bio
Vines, the solo project of New York-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Cassie Wieland, offers a window into her inner world through expansive swaths of sound. She pieces together a celestial mix of synths, percussion, strings, and vocoded voice, making music that is at once deeply personal and cinematic in scope. This diaristic approach first took shape with her 2023 EP Birthday Party, and is crystallized on her debut LP, I'll be here. With the sweeping and vulnerable I'll be here, Vines arrives fully formed as an artist who crafts deeply resonant and open music - the kind that invites listeners in to listen, reflect, and share in the journey of learning through living.
Her music has been featured on Billboard's Tiktok Top 50, Stereogum, KEXP, New Sounds, NPR, The New York Times, Financial Times, I Care if You Listen, AnEarful, and The Road to Sound.

“The project of composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Cassie Wieland straddles the line between ambient and indie-pop heavily sedated with vocoder and other effects that serve as weighted blankets on these compositions, which feel a bit otherworldly.” - FLOOD Magazine
“Cassie Wieland sings vocoder-heavy incantations over a rising post-rock soundscape that’ll make you feel like you’re watching a beautiful UFO land on a volcano” - Stereogum
