These Are Powers was an American experimental music group from Brooklyn, New York, and Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 2006 by singer and guitarist Anna Barie and bassist Pat Noecker, the band released their debut EP These Are Powers and the single "Silver Lung / Funeral Xylophone" in 2007. Their full-length album, Terrific Seasons, was released on HOSS Records in 2007. In 2008, producer Bill Salas replaced drummer Ted McGrath, shifting towards more electronic production. Subsequent albums included the EP Taro Tarot (2008) and All Aboard Future (2009). Known for high-energy live performances and collaborations with visual artists, they performed extensively in Europe and had an artist residency in China in 2009. They released the Candyman EP on RVNG Intl. The band disbanded in 2011 during a memorial show for late promoter Ariel Panero at Death By Audio.
