THE FLOATING PERSPECTIVES
Minneapolis, MN
ABOUT
The Floating Perspectives bring musical unity through the carefully crafted marriage of powerful and incisive lyrics, rich harmonies and a lush string ensemble. Exploring topics of beauty, life's uncertainty and positive self reflection, their introspective depth is conveyed and juxtaposed with upbeat production and rich harmonies. Drawing energy and rhythmic prowess from rock, their indie sentiments flawlessly mesh with pop sensibilities to create a unique sound that is all their own. On their latest project, "swirling ephemera", their originality and sonic uniqueness shines through in crisp, clean instrumentation with vocals that cut into you, spilling out flowers from the soul.
ANDREW S. LENTZ
Vox/Keys/Ukulele
A performer his whole life, Andrew first began writing songs in 8th grade. He spent his youth and teen years pursuing acting, appearing in many professional and community theater productions, as well as the Coen Brothers' film "A Serious Man", in which he portrayed the foul-mouthed "Cursing Boy on Bus".
After high school, he switched his focus to music, and began the project that would eventually become The Floating Perspectives. Andrew can also be found playing and singing harmonies in the bands The Common Practice, MEMEME and Artificial Flowers, as well as acting in the occasional film project.
HAYLEY ANNE KOOP
Vox
Hayley Anne Koop, an artist since birth, started singing for baseball games and miss America pageants. Piano lessons followed, though she quickly hated the structure. The restrictive music made her turn to theater until that sparked a passion in writing. Looking to bring that writing to life, she started attending every local open mic until finishing her first album, which was released in 2015.
Now, her somber melody's and poetic and psychadelic lyrics bring life to multiple projects such as Kinder Dosage, Ditch Pidgeon, and Organic Ghost Theory.
CHRIS CUELLAR

Chris Cuellar’s passion for music first began as a kid when he received an electric guitar for his birthday. Little did Chris know that his newly discovered passion would lead to an incurable addiction for music.

He’s also an avid learner in pursuit of learning new instruments to broaden his perspective musically.
