Lycia is an ethereal project from the Tempe, Arizona, United States, formed in 1988 by Mike Van Portfleet, along with members Will Wlech and John Fair. In 1989, "Wake" was recorded, defining their droning ethereal guitar sound. In 1990, Lycia signed on with Projekt Records and released "Ionia" in late 1991 after aborting the original first release, titled "Byzantine". They became one of the cornerstones of the Projekt label for over a decade, and one of the most influential bands in the the American ethereal music scene in the 1990s.
