About X-Cetra
X-Cetra is a group of 4 preteen friends (- aged 9 to 11 at the time of this recording) from Santa Rosa, California. Around 1999-2000 the yougn girls where dreaming of becoming a girl group. The music they were given to work with was supplied from the archives of their avantgarde-music-loving hippy papa Don Campau. They tried their best to make catchy pop tunes out of this material. Their music is often described as "outersider pop" or "bedroom pop" maybe due to the mix of childlike vocals with the sometimes surprisingly strange production. The songs combine innocent themes (sleepovers, crushes) mixed with unexpectedly mature or dark topics probably due to the fact the girls where immatating mature pop without fully understanding it. In 2000 only about 20 copies of their album existed. When the girls reached their teenage years the girls forgot about the project and moved on. The album became however a cult object, quietly spread online in the early 2000s through sides as soundcloud and illegal copies, which resulted in rediscovery in 2025. The members (now adults) have reunited and started making new music again. Members : Janet Washburn Jessica Hall Mary Washburn Ayden Mayeri
