Franklin Gothic is the Portland, Oregon–based musical project of songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Jay DiBartolo. Joined by Alex Acuña, the two blend melodic indie pop with atmospheric dream rock, Americana, and experimental rock.

Franklin Gothic embraces a restless and fluid approach to songwriting, drawing inspiration from a wide range of musical influences stemming from DiBartolo’s early ’90s childhood. Across two full-length albums, 'Into the Light' and 'Echoes', and the 2026 'Echoes Demoes' EP, the band explores themes of self-reflection, repetition, and the search for something more openhearted.
