1939 Ensemble Tickets

1939 Ensemble is a Portland, Oregon-based outfit known for their instrumental, genre-blurring music that blends post-rock, jazz, krautrock, and noise. Core members have included José Medeles (The Breeders) and David Coniglio, with later additions from Josh Thomas and Knate Carter. They’ve earned a reputation as an adventurous live act and a recording project that musicians and critics alike view through an “industrial art deco” lens on some releases.

The band has received coverage from regional outlets like OPB and Willamette Week, and their releases have been produced by influential producers such as John McEntire and Tucker Martine, with releases on the Portland–based Jealous Butcher Records.
