Jax Anderson, K.Flay • I Don't Care Anymore • 2021



Jax Anderson says: "Bigger Picture & Say I Do were written about moments of happiness. To me happiness is a wave you gotta ride when it's here & a memory to pull from when that wave dips. Bigger Picture is about the happy moment of meeting someone new & your world opening up like it never has before. I loved having Verite on Bigger Picture. Her voice blends perfectly & I knew she'd kill it. It was written on tour in Australia & i felt like it needed to be more of a back & forth rather than a singular singer. Say I Do was written to be a song to play at queer weddings."

Clapper the Rapper • Local Musicians • 2020




Nathan Clapper (The Rapper) is a hip-hop musician/bassist with pop influence from Massillon, Ohio. He has been making music with Producer, Steven Turner, for over the past decade. 

The two started in several bands until their side project of hiphop took the forefront. The duo has released hundreds of songs together with no signs of slowing down. Listen to their new single, Local Musician, now. 

Local Musician is the story of the home-town dreamer. The kid who never gave up but had to take a step back to survive. This is the story of trying to get back to Plan A.

NICOLAAS • Real Escape • 2019





 'No Stranger Thing' underlines how potent this new beginning actually is, a thirsty synth-pop banger replete with guest vocals from Lucy Mason. It's the perfect blend of digital pop and vocal ache, the melodic appeal offset by some club-centric production.” Clash Magazine

Madison Acid and TV Girl - Maddie Acid's Purple Hearts Club Band (2018)


"What shall I say further? Shall I not stop short and leave to your imaginations to portray the tragic deeds of war? Is it not enough that I here leave it to the unexperienced to fancy the hardships, the anxieties, the dangers, even of the best life of a soldier? 
My companions taxed me with presumption and folly, but I was determined, then and always, not to be a coward." 
-Deborah Sampson

The Uncluded - Hokey Fright - 2013




In 2007, while on tour supporting his album None Shall Pass, indie rapper/producer Aesop Rock wrote a fan email to folk singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson. A few years later they reconnected during the creation of arts-and-oddities blog 900Bats, which in turn sparked the pair's collaborative musical efforts. After appearing on each other's respective recent solo records, Aesop Rock- Skelethon and Kimya Dawson- Thunder Thighs, both found more worth pursuing within the group dynamic, and The Uncluded were hatched.

The debut album Hokey Fright was recorded over the course of a year using a variety of locations and devices, from voice memo recorders to fleshed out studios. Aesop and Kimya wrote, performed, and recorded the whole album, with the exception of the drums on "Delicate Cycle", which were played by James McNew of Yo La Tengo.
