Hello

Outer Surface is the indie music brainchild of Gregory Kane, a songwriter and producer in Pasadena, CA. Gregory crafts songs melding indie rock, dream pop, shoegaze, synth-pop, and psychedelia, charming fans with well-crafted melodies and atmospheric soundscapes.​

​​

​​​The essence of Outer Surface flows from Gregory's warm baritone and introspective musings on regret, hope, resilience, and time. His voice floats over a mix lovingly arranged guitars, immersive synth pads, and ethereal vocal harmonies.

​

In the 90s and early 2000s, Gregory was a driving force behind the renowned Chicago-based indie band Plastics Hi-Fi. He later spent 13 years living in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Germany, and The Netherlands, broadening his influences and fueling his passion for releasing new music. Since 2023, Gregory has released music from his home studio as Outer Surface, sharing his creative journey and connecting with fans on Instagram.

​

Joining Gregory in Outer Surface are talented collaborators, including drummer Francesca Prattico, mixing engineer Micah Smith, visual artist Aude Li Sing, and poet J. Blake Gordon, who coined the name "Outer Surface." Former bandmate Kevin Henretta adds his distinctive guitar style on “A Feeling of Stillness.”

​With a sound both fresh and nostalgic, Outer Surface draws listeners into a world where genres merge and music elicits the feels.
