iies. (pronounced "eyes") is a visionary collective emerging from Denver, CO, that transcends traditional musical boundaries with their groundbreaking style called: "Experimental Jazz Rap." Composed of Craig Northup II (lead vocals), Aidan Roberts (guitar), and Jacob Montano (bass), iies. has roots in the improvisational jazz, blues, and hip-hop scenes of Denver. The group has evolved into a powerhouse of creativity, delivering a sound that defies categorization and leaves audiences captivated awaiting their much anticipated new EP set to release in spring.

Their latest album "Don't Forget the Dot" draws inspiration from the concept of perspectives, symbolized by the dot at the end of their name. This artistic choice reflects the unique vantage points each member contributes, coming together to form a cohesive and all-encompassing auditory experience.
