Portrait of a Drowned Man is an instrumental post-rock collective composed of Paul Connolly, CJ Keller, Justin Kervina, Ken Nyberg, and Aaron Richner. The band has been not-so-quietly making a name for itself in the Duluth music scene with its towering wall-of-sound performances over the past 20 years. Known for their experimental tendencies, the guitar-heavy band frequently collaborates with filmmakers, features guest musicians for one-off performances, and engages in live improvisational sets. Sessions for the group’s fourth studio album were sidelined by the pandemic, leading to a years-long hibernation, but the band says that new music is on the way this year.
