Big Weather - Wallflower

Hannah Sparagana and Adam Howell first met when they were young on Martha’s Vineyard. They lost touch for over a decade, lived separate lives, and eventually found themselves back on the same island. When they crossed paths again by chance one summer, what began as a casual exchange of songs quickly evolved into a band, one built around atmosphere, instinct, and emotional intensity. Hannah had a collection of songs she'd written alone: intimate, mythic, elemental. Adam had the same. Rather than choosing between their visions, they decided to hold both, becoming Big Weather and emerging as a meeting point between two distinct songwriting voices. Drawing from the island’s elemental rhythms - the ocean, the tides, the long winters and electric summers, their music moves between the ethereal and the raw. Hannah’s writing reaches for myth and landscape, heartbreak that becomes archetype before it becomes song. Adam’s cuts close to the bone; open-handed, emotionally unguarded, searching. Together, the music feels intimate, restless and expansive. The band came together organically: Anthony Esposito on bass, Noa Maxner on guitar, Stu Rodegast on drums, and Alie Horowitz on backing vocals—a close circle of friends and musicians whose intertwined lives gave the project its warmth and emotional undercurrent. Like the weather it offered creative power, but also its wounds. Recorded and produced by Constant Smiles in a brief, charged window before the band dissolved just two years after forming, the record stands as both origin and aftermath. By the time the album was finished, the lineup had already changed—but what they captured on tape remained. Their debut album, Gemini is a split reflection of that duality, half Hannah’s, half Adam’s, capturing a creative partnership defined by both tension and connection. Together, the two halves of Gemini don't blend so much as they converse. Released in June under the sign of the twins, Gemini holds both sides at once: two voices, one body of work, and the weather that moved through it.
