Hello
I'm Gregory.
I release music under the artist name Outer Surface.
Bio
The music of Outer Surface feels like the memory of a dream—something elusive yet deeply familiar. Created by Gregory Kane (songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist), Outer Surface blends the cozy glow of indie rock with carefully layered arrangements, where nostalgia meets emotional truth. Shades of Grandaddy, Wilco, and Guster ripple through shimmering guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and atmospheric keys, with harmonies and melodies that echo in your subconscious.
​
Kane first made his mark with Chicago’s indie favorite Plastics Hi-Fi before spending over a decade living in
Hong Kong, Indonesia, Germany, and the Netherlands. When he returned to California, he pulled his instruments from storage, built a home studio, and gave in to the pull he’d resisted for years: to write, record, and release the music he’d carried with him.
The songs are crafted by hand—layered guitars, vintage synths, vocals, and harmonic stacks—arranged and produced by Kane in Pasadena, then pulsed to life with live drums from Italy’s Francesca Prattico.
Outer Surface traces the feelings we carry but rarely name—regret and hope, memory and longing. The songs don’t resolve; they resonate and feel like a place you’ve never been, yet somehow always belonged.
This isn’t music for a room full of people. It’s music for the space between your ribs—the place only headphones can reach.
