About

Passenger Lounge is a three-piece family band originating from New Orleans, Louisiana. Between them they cover vocals, saxophone, bass, guitar, keys, drums, and production. Their music draws from dream pop, indie rock, krautrock motorik, psychedelic rock, and jazz; 90s guitars meet 80s synths.

Around 2018, the three of them started playing, recording, and producing music together across various groups in New Orleans. In April 2026, the trio self-released their debut EP, Salt, on their own label, Passerby Records.

Their sound centers on a Dave Guardala "New York" alto saxophone run through a guitar chorus pedal, Fender acoustic, Stratocaster, and Telecaster tracks layered with digital synths reamped through an old Marshall JCM900/1960A half stack, and a Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass recorded through a Gallien-Krueger Fusion 115 1x15" 400-watt tube amp.
