The Depressionistas was the Portland-based project of Moushumi Ghose (vocals, guitars, synths),  Jarrod Kenney (bass, guitar)—veteran musicians who spent decades writing, recording and performing together in Ghosha before putting down roots in Portland, Oregon and featured vocal contributions from Portland–based singer Michelle Muldrow, enhancing a vocal interplay that enhances the music’s emotional range, and other collaborators as well.

The Depressionistas disbanded in 2026. 

 

Named for their shared fixation of dark music coupled with moody beautiful surroundings, THE DEPRESSIONISTAS makes music that mirrors the environment in which it was created: moody, broody, and brutally honest.

 

Their debut album, Home is Where The Heart Is, released September 2023 introduced THE DEPRESSIONISTAS haunting and emotive sonic world.

 

The record featured the single “Home is Where The Heart is” a relatable exploration of isolation and life on the road, and “When Night Falls” a demonstration of over-functioning, exhaustion and burnout in an excessively demanding world.

 

In 2025 The Depressionistas went back in the studio finishing up their follow up EP, with plans to begin releasing the singles.

In October 2026, it was decided it was time to lay the Depressionistas to rest.

RIP.

The songs will live on through our solo projects

Thanks for joining the journey.
