Beginning in 2001 with the single “Twilight”, Portland’s Electronic Psychedelic Goth band
was formed. Cathedral Park, created by singer/song writer Autumn, began as an outlet for
experimental music that he wanted to create away from his main projects, The Fallen (1999-2001)
and later Ghost Parade (2001-2006). Autumn started working with Bryn Shoop in 2004 as the
bass player for Ghost Parade. In the Fall of 2006, Autumn invited Bryn to play as a guest
artist on an upcoming project he had in mind for Cathedral Park, an EP release. Autumn and
Bryn began working together and found an artistic connection that neither one of them had
until this point. They worked together and released an EP, creating the stepping stone to
launch Cathedral Park into the Portland gothic community. Later in 2007, Autumn and Bryn
returned to the studio to record their current album, “Monument”. As the release of the album
grew closer, the news of their release spread out of Portland and into Europe. This 15 track
album was released on October 30th with 2 music videos, written/directed/edited by
Autumn and Bryn, and a “Making Of” documentary style film.

           

Cathedral Park is made up of Autumn (Vocals-Keyboards-Programming) and
Bryn Shoop (Bass Guitar-Programming). Holding onto their originality and
signature sound, Cathedral Park tends to use analog recording techniques,
adding to the swirl of strings and backward masking pieces, held together
by Bryn's deep bass tones and Autumn's up front Bowie-esk forward vocals.
Carefully crafted lyrics with open ended story lines create imagery of dark
dreamlike surreal landscapes; Influenced by such artists as Peter Murphy,
Depeche Mode, early Cure, VNV Nation, Wolfsheim and David Bowie,
Cathedral Park is described as dark wave and electronica with hints of synth
pop. Cathedral Park is to release new material in early 2009 followed by a West
Coast Tour.
