"I had pretty much quit music around 2014 and went back to school. I got an assignment in a sound design class to write and record a song in a week and that ended up being an early version of ‘i never mean what i say.’ A few days later I wrote ‘pose’ so I thought maybe I wasn’t done writing music after all, we just didn’t get around to doing anything else until about 6 years later." -Ty Bohrnstedt, semiwestern

With influences ranging from the visionary songcraft of Grandaddy, Pinback and R. Stevie Moore, to the moodiness and melodic brilliance of Lou Reed, Elliott Smith, The Fall, Built To Spill, and Sonic Youth, semiwestern weaves a charmingly unpolished and emotive sound that is heavily informed by DIY ethos.
Despite the distance between them, with Daniel residing in Houston and Ty in a small town outside of Dallas, the duo overcomes geographical obstacles by sharing their creative process through digital means. Iterations of songs are exchanged via email, while discussions and refining of their musical vision take place over countless phone calls.
Formerly known as The Vliets, semiwestern has garnered recognition in the vibrant music scene of Austin, Texas. They were once voted as the "Best Emerging Rock Band'' in Austin by The Deli Magazine, and have opened for notable artists such as Alex G, DIIV, Elvis Depressedly, and Frankie Rose.
semiwestern’s 2022 saw the release of single ‘velvet sea’ on Spirit Goth Records and a cover of Charli XCX’s "Constant Repeat," which garnered praise from the original song's producer. A full length album is due out in September 2023 on Spirit Goth Records.
