SINGLES…

Illicit Ghost | “Drunk And Alone”

Brooklyn’s Illicit Ghost made a stunning debut with her painfully raw track, “Drunk And Alone.” The producer, songwriter, and violinist recorded the track in her bedroom, which is fitting for the sad-drunk millennial anthem.

VIDEOS…

⭐ PREMIERE ⭐ | Memory Keepers | No Distractions

The new video from experimental electronic duo Memory Keepers takes a bold stance on the stigma surrounding pole dancing. The video’s star, Zoja Ulesoo, describes it as the ultimate feminist art form. “Sure, it requires grace and sensuality, qualities that have traditionally been relegated to the ‘feminine,’ she says, “But it also calls for brute strength, a tolerance for physical pain, and a whole lot of confidence–traits we perceive as ‘masculine’. Pole pushes the boundaries of what we believe women to be capable of.”

Fine Lines | Contact

The debut album from Fine Lines takes southern rock (think Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band) and adds a modern twist–relying not just on vocals, and not just on guitar, but a carefully crafted fusion of the two.
