Die Shiny, Henry Mansfield

Blending dreamy synthscapes with cerebral wit and a sharp edge, Salt Lake City phenom Die Shiny is rapidly becoming one of the underground’s most vital acts. With a prolific social media presence, a default setting of solidarity, and a knack for cranking out catchy bangers, the electropop outfit has built a cult following of neurodivergent misfits and truth-seekers drawn to their fearlessly authentic brand of conscious pop. Songwriter/bassist Callie Crofts and drummer/producer Zac Bryant are not only inseparable besties and life partners but also a deeply symbiotic creative team. The nonbinary pair has forged a catalog bursting with candor and purpose, paired with electrifying live shows that cement Die Shiny as both local queer icons and uncompromising activists. Henry Mansfield is ushering in the next wave of queer, anthemic indie rock. After releasing NOTHING BUT THE MYTHS WE MAKE in 2023, called by Dan’s Tunes “one of the best Seattle albums I’ve heard in years,” Mansfield played Treefort Music Fest and Capitol Hill Block Party in 2025. He has been featured on NPR and Seattle Refined.
