Melt Into Fires Were Shot’s “Dripping Bright”

Austin’s FiRES WERE SHOT are one of the premier experimental/drone duos. For twenty years the band, which consists of John Wilkins and Clay Walton, have been making deeply heavy and meditative acoustic music.

Stop, Relax, and just “Breathe” with Chris Polcyn

Bay area producer Chris Polcyn knows the value of a good chill out track. There’s something so all-encompassing and inviting about his debut single for Holodeck Records. “Breathe” makes me think of cobblestoned, Parisian streets, the salty scent of The North Sea making its way over rolling green hills, and contemplating life with a loving […]

Glitch Out With Pulsecoder’s “Wicked Transmission”

The world shifts a bit when you step into the musical landscape of Kyle Evans, aka pulseCoder. Imagine a digital light show inside the mainframe of an overwhelmed supercomputer.

I don’t know about you, but lately I’ve been looking for things to just get lost in. When we’re all struggling to find a light at the end of this very long tunnel which we find ourselves feeling our way through currently, art is something of an escape pod. It’s my escape pod even when […]

Lou Rebecca Shines In Her New Video “To Keep You”

2019 was a pretty stunning year for Austin-based Parisian pop star Lou Rebecca. She dropped her feature-length debut Restless with Holodeck Records, which was a catchy, engaging, and ultimately endearing set of pop tracks. Rebecca writes songs that feel timeless and buoyant, and she delivers them with an innocence and restless abandon that never comes […]

Get Dark With Llora’s “Bad Behavior”

Photos by Vera Velma There’s something sinister yet alluring about the music of LLORA. I imagine some early 80s dance club in Lower Manhatten as I listen to their pulsating track “Bad Behavior”. The wobbly synth that opens the track leads us into a tight electro 80s groove. We’re greeted by come hither vocals that […]

FiRES WERE SHOT : Fallen

Clay Walton and John Wilkins of experimental acoustic duo FiRES WERE SHOT capture both the mystical and chaotic in their music. Their use of traditional acoustic folk music coalescing with experimental noise collages gives one the feeling of Ry Cooder or William Tyler being swallowed in a sea of sonic fuzz in the bowery. These […]

VVV : Spreading Primrose

Shawhin Izaddoost, aka VVV makes music that while hypnotic feels deeper than just the typical dance track.

His music mixes elements of 2-step, ambient, techno, and […]
