Crystal Canyon

Crystal Canyon is an American shoegaze band from Portland, Maine. In 2014, lead vocalist and guitarist Lynda Mandolyn met guitarist and vocalist Todd Hutchisen in a recording session at Todd’s Acadia Recording Company studios. She was recording an album with her group Tiger Bomb when the two hit it off, bonding over a shared love of classic shoegaze albums. They formed Crystal Canyon shortly after, bringing in a rhythm section composed of Todd’s former collaborators, which featured Jeremy Smith on bass and Hayes Porterfield on drums.
