High Bias · Tune In
High Bias is the home-recording project of Sacramento, California singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sam Eliot Stern. The name nods to the method: songs are tracked entirely to cassette on a Tascam Portastudio 4-track, with Stern handling all instruments and production. The Spotify profile describes the sound as "primitive futurist folk adjacent singer songwriter" with "cassette recordings only," while Bandcamp tags it folk, lo-fi, and indie. High Bias has put out a run of releases between 2023 and 2025, including "Razor Love," "Tioga," and "The End." Stern also records as Sam Eliot.
