EP out June 30th
ANTI- Epitaph Records – August 12th, 2022
Single ‘Kick Me (feat. Iggy Pop)’ OUT NOW!
Fresh from touring as drummer and backup vocalist of Caroline Polachek’s headline tours in North America, UK and Europe performing at the likes of Primavera Sound, Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Pitchfork Fest, All Points East, MELT festival as well as support of Dua Lipa’s “Future Nostalgia Tour,” LA-based Swedish-Mexican-American producer, drummer, singer and songwriter Chloe Saavedra (also ½ of Chaos Chaos band AKA Smoosh), is breaking out with her first self-fronted project, WTRGRL.
Her debut EP melds mainstream pop with experimental electronic music. The EP comprises two original songs including remixes by Death’s Dynamic Shroud and BABii. As a session musician, Saavedra considers collaboration a key aspect of her practice, DRIP1 sees her work together with ZHONE and Clearcast on the production.
In the upcoming single, ‘Heroine,’ Chloe collaborates with Oakland-based, UKG-influenced producer, Clearcast to create a song about embracing resilience in the face of adversity. “I wanted to extract the healing effect that ambient music has and to inject that into club music”, she says.
upsammy - Germ in a Population of Buildings
label PANdate 5th May
format Vinyl / Digital
On her sophomore album "Germ in a Population of Buildings”, upsammy moves through her surroundings with the curiosity of a place-bending landscape architect. The album is rooted in her interest for ambiguous environments in constant shift, and the feeling of discovering strange patterns in different ecosystems. Often, the Amsterdam-based artist finds herself zooming in and out beyond a place's most recognizable surface features to inhabit the microscopic and gigantic. Gathering field recordings and evocative environmental sounds, she shapes this source material into vibrating electro-acoustic rhythms and unstable, psychedelic textures.
Rachel Lyn - Stories Came to Us
Label: My Own Imaginary World
Release: 21st April
CAT: MOIW002
Rachel Lyn’s latest sonic estuary, Stories Came to Us, will be released on April 21, 2023 through the artist’s own imprint My Own Imaginary World. In her second full-length album and debut vocal work, Lyn extrapolates the organic matter of her mind and directs it toward the glitches of nature. The record composes a vocular storytelling that stirs its listener through acts of breathwork, recorded over periods of solitude, through long grasses under paling skies, climbing hills amidst the sensations of sea air.
Croatian Amor - A Part Of You In Everything
Digital release - May 26, 2023LP & Cassette - August 4, 2023
Croatian Amor returns with “A Part of You in Everything” a companion piece to last year’s “Remember Rainbow Bridge”.
“My younger brother died at birth and I never had a chance to meet him. Growing up he was my ghost friend, someone told me he lived in the stars which I accepted.
I had not paid attention to him for many years but when I was making "Remember Rainbow Bridge” and waiting for my son to come into the world he suddenly appeared again. I partly dedicated Remember Rainbow Bridge to him, but I knew that it wasn’t his record, so I thought I should make one just for him and here it is; “A Part of You in Everything”, 8 songs about being human on Earth. I think it’s music which is best listened to at night out under the stars. Thank you to all my friends who helped making it!”
