Larches & Mari and the Dream

Larches is a project of Jacob Cona, a musician from Athens, GA raised on Elephant 6, R.E.M., and the B-52’s. Cona moved to Seattle in search of greener musical pastures in 2019, where they began work as an audio engineer at local venues. In 2022, Cona emerged from a bedroom-turned-home-studio with debut album, "Attack of the Telephones," which documents a hallucinogenic landscape of isolation, loneliness, and hope, inhabited by painted corpses, cowering gods, and friends transformed into telephones.
In 2023, Larches developed into a live act, playing in and around Seattle with support from Robby Fox, Adrian Franco, and Jacob Conley. What began as a band to perform “Attack of the Telephones,” Larches has since turned into a collaborative creative endeavor. Larches released their self-titled EP in August 2025, and toured it down the West Coast. With some fresh inspiration and momentum from the road, they’re gearing up for their first full length album release as a band in early 2026. Their recorded material takes inspiration from the guitar rock of Built to Spill and songwriting of Sparklehorse, aiming to capture the energy found playing live around the Pacific Northwest.
