Alice Merton • how well do you know your feelings? • 2024




Alice Merton has undeniably become known as the girl with no roots. In her songs, she’s always talked about celebrating life as a nomad, and making a home wherever you want it to be. With this next chapter however, her thoughts turn inward, and instead of finding a home in the outside world, she goes on an internal journey of feeling lost on the inside and asking the question of all questions: who am I supposed to be, and how well do you know yourself at all?

Husks • You Will Find a Garden (Live From Home) • 2021



"Husks is a perfect combination of haunting and ethereal" -VENTS Magazine
 
"(Husks) Fuses the remote aural nuances of ambient horror with electronic rhythms and progressive, textured patterns" -Tattoo.com

Brooklyn, NY- Husks is the brainchild of Brooklyn singer, producer, and composer Connor Small. A multi-instrumentalist, Small has a penchant for crafting dark, experimental electronic-pop atmospheres: fusing icy synths and booming industrial percussion with delicate, vulnerable vocals.
His work is influenced by his religious upbringing, exploring themes of purity, anxiety, tension and isolation in the face of cosmic uncertainty. https://push.fm/fl/husks-connect

Kishi Bashi - String Quartet Live! - 2015


Recorded live with string quartet, the new album (appropriately titled "String Quartet Live!") consists of nine songs from both “151a” and “Lighght” (and one Talking Heads cover!), performed live by K and an accompanying string ensemble. Where his first two releases featured an array of percussion and electronic elements, the new live album finds K’s familiar songs reimagined, allowing his soaring vocals to take center stage above a foundation of interweaving strings. 

The string ensemble gives new life to these tracks, with updated arrangements and the infectious energy that can only come from Kishi Bashi's amazing live performances.

KASHKA - Bones EP - 2014


Forest City Lovers began in the bedroom of Kat Burns and slowly expanded into a collaborative project over the last five years. The band is based in Toronto, Ontario and has toured extensively all over the place. So much love to the mountains, deserts and beautiful cities in between.

Hotel Cinema - 2013



Los Angeles based group Hotel Cinema was formed in 2012 by Mark Hadley & Keeley Bumford. With intricate orchestration of electronic and organic elements beneath alluring melodies, Hotel Cinema has crafted a unique cinematic sound that weaves in and out of reality. 



from BC - Michael Reilly; A great 6-track album with a stylish indie pop feel. The highlight for me is the mixing of Keeley Bumford's vocals with the lush orchestration, which elevates many of these songs beyond the norm. 
Favorite track: All You've Ever Known.
