Popular Music (ex-Parenthetical Girls) – w/ Twingle – Early Show! – 21+
Popular Music is proud to present Minor Works — a new album for the end of time — released October 13, 2023 via the group’s own Sanitarium Sound Services imprint. Written and produced by the Hollywood/Melbourne-based duo of Zac Pennington (former leader of American cult act Parenthetical Girls) and composer Prudence Rees-Lee, Minor Works marks the group’s debut collection of original material, and the first Pennington-penned release in a decade. An 11-part song cycle set in apocalyptic contemporary Los Angeles, the hyper-cinematic songs of Minor Works embrace Armageddon in its myriad forms: literal, personal, existential, eschatological. The album’s novelistic, semi-autobiographical narrative concerns a cast of exiles at the end of the world — a loose tapestry of doomsday cultists, missing persons, grieving mothers and other lost causes. This is the rapture without redemption; a palm-lined purgatory where “No prayers were ever answered/No untold loves confessed/No consciences forgiven/No consequences left.” Recording across three continents, Minor Works’ ambitious productions were pieced together in sessions between Los Angeles, Melbourne, Moscow and New York — with percussion programming by Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier, contributions from celebrated composer Jherek Bischoff (Angel Olsen, Xiu Xiu, Neil Gaiman), plus a 17-piece Russian chamber orchestra conducted over Zoom (no, really). “Twingle, an art rock ensemble that includes songwriter Anna Sabatino (vocals, guitar, piano), Alex Radakovich (drums), Eric Sabatino (bass), Jessica Sylvia (backup vocals, percussion) and Nathan Weber (guitar, piano, synth and backup vocals), enjoys surprising listeners with their unique sound, which blends the unexpected with the familiar. “The line between traditional and untraditional is where I like to live, experiment and push in my songwriting,” Anna Sabatino says. Currently, the band is looking forward to releasing their debut album, Future Caviar.” – Willamette Week, Best New Bands 2023

Cathedral Bells – w/ Foliage, Rew – 21+
Born in the depths of obscure analog gems, comes Orlando, Florida’s shoegaze-by-way-of-bedroom-pop Cathedral Bells formed by Matt Messore in late 2018.It’s still in the hazy dream pop realm, but with a harder-hitting, shoegazier edge at times too – Brooklyn Veganfeeling quite close to the wistful romanticism and pop allure of The Cure. Yet, Messore and company also shade the track with plenty of warm hues, layering in dreamy instrumentation and placing the track’s mood under the waning light of sunset. – Under The Radar A talent that can perfectly emulate your favorite DIY bedroom guitar-geared heroes from today and decades back, Foliage returns in 2024, sharpening his focus on styles sourced from a plethora of directions whether it’s 808 beat botanicals, ambient ethereal offerings, J Dilla-inspired grooves, chamber champagne pop or kinetic discotheque dalliances. Rew is a dedicated musician from the suburbs of Delaware, shapes his unique sound from shoegaze, emo, grunge, and bedroom pop influences. Overseeing every step of the process — from writing and recording to mixing and mastering — he creates authentic music that resonates with many. His lyrics, deeply personal yet universally relatable, strike a chord with listeners. Working from his Delaware base, Rew quietly enriches the alternative music scene with his heartfelt compositions. REWIN is his first LP to be released on Philadelphia’s Born Losers Records.
((( O ))) – w/ YAWA (Amenta Abioto) – 21+
We found a fairy who makes music in a treehouse. Whose music gear is solar-powered and serves as ‘a direct gift from the sun, an opportunity to create.’ Her art creates a bridge for the modern world to return to nature, to be swept away with her story and sounds she has collected throughout her journey. ((( O ))) is working with the cycles of our natural world, releasing audio/visual art pieces of her universe through what she calls “Moondrops” every full moon. They are later compiled into albums every year called “Sundrops.” She uses meditation to travel to her heart space, where she finds light and translates into sound. She has chosen to follow her inner guidance to complete 12 albums for the next 12 years, giving people the trust and curiosity to stay with her on her musical journey. “R&B rhythms interacting with her elastic vocals, alongside lyrical references to following the stars.” – Crack magazine, 2019 “((( O ))) has chosen a name that’s unpronounceable on purpose. “I don’t resonate with my [given] name,” the emerging experimental R&B auteur explains, speaking over a crackly line from the Philippine jungle. “I’m super energy-based, so the best representation of who I am is without words.” “ – Crack Magazine, 2019With local support from YAWA aka Amenta Abioto!
SADIE JEAN – Simple Like 17 Tour – w/ Holden McRae – Early show! – All Ages
Sadie Jean’s music strikes a universal chord akin to a late-night chat with your best friend. She connected with millions of people over the release of her debut single “WYD Now?”, a tear-jerking plea to an old flame to try and get it right one more time. Since its release, the track has surpassed 150m Spotify streams and became RIAA gold-certified, solely due to its pure, raw emotion. Multi-platinum artist Rod Wave also sampled the track on his song “2018,” marking Sadie’s Hot 100 debut, as well as inviting Sadie to guest perform the song on a 30-date sold out arena tour. In 2022, she released her second single, “Locksmith,” an equally moving ballad that itself has blown past 100m Spotify streams. These deeply vulnerable singles became the blueprint for the tracks that would make up the rest of her debut project “Simple Like 17.” Throughout the project, Sadie Jean pairs smart and cutting lyrics with timeless, uncomplicated arrangements, unveiling something powerful: that sometimes, while longing for another person, you’re truly seeking yourself. After a lifetime of work and a complete project, Sadie Jean is bringing the Simple Like 17 Tour to 17 cities across North America for an intensely crafted show experience. She’ll be performing the project in entirety in small venues hoping to connect with each audience member individually. Make sure to catch Sadie Jean’s first ever headline tour “Simple Like 17” before it sells out. with support from Holden McRae
From Indian Lakes – w/ King of Heck – ALL AGES
From Indian Lakes began as the solo project of California-based singer/songwriter Joey Vannucchi. Growing up on 40 acres of land near Yosemite National Park, the multi-instrumentalist first gravitated toward drums, playing in various bands throughout his youth before eventually focusing on guitar and songwriting. Intricate rhythms continued to be a major feature of his thoughtful post-rock sound and at age 20, he began recording songs at a friend’s studio in the neighboring town of Indian Lakes. Initially releasing the material under the name Songs from Indian Lakes, Vannucchi shortened it after recruiting a group of musicians to begin playing live. Now a full band, they released their debut LP, The Man with Wooden Legs, in 2009. A mix of full-band touring and living-room solo tours for Vannucchi’s 2011 Acoustic EP followed as their music continued to evolve, blending bits of warm, thoughtful indie rock and clever, angular post-rock. Their 2012 independent release, Able Bodies, was a bit of a commercial breakthrough earning accolades from Google Play, which listed them as one of the top unsigned bands for that year. They continued to tour hard and in 2013 signed a deal with Triple Crown Records, who released the band’s third LP, 2014’s Absent Sounds. With Absent Sounds, Vannucchi’s music found more widespread exposure, charting in Billboard’s Top 200 and helping build anticipation for new material. A second EP titled Wanderer appeared in early 2016 and contained a mix of new songs and acoustic versions of others. In October of that year, From Indian Lakes delivered their Triple Crown follow-up, Everything Feels Better Now.with support from KING OF HECK
Catching Flies (live) – w/ Drew Cornwall (DJ Set) – 21+
Catching Flies — aka multi-instrumentalist, producer and DJ George King — released his debut album ‘Silver Linings’ in July 2019. Containing shades of everything from hip-hop to house, from soul to jazz, it was hailed as ‘a soundtrack to Summertime’ by the 405 — and was awarded album of the month by Future Music who described it as ‘a brilliantly eclectic record… a moving journey that will last long in the memory.’ Clash Magazine praised the LP’s ‘killer beats’ and ‘artfully orchestrated introspection,’ whilst London In Stereo praised it’s ‘exceptional production.’ Other press coverage for the album included The Guardian, Complex, Nowness, Mixmag, iD Magazine, Dazed & Confused, The Line of Best Fit and more. He has received radio support from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Pete Tong, Annie Mac, Lauren Laverne, Mary Anne Hobbes & Huw Stephens. Artist support for ‘Silver Linings’ has come from the likes of Bonobo, Jungle, Caribou, Loyle Carner, Nils Frahm, The Blessed Madonna, George Fitzgerald and Lane 8. He toured the album performing headline Live shows throughout the UK, Europe, Asia and North America, as well as DJ shows at Bonobo’s ‘OUTLIER’ event series in Europe and North America. He was also recently nominated for a BAFTA (‘Best Music’ category) for his soundtrack work on a video game. Silver Linings was followed by ‘Silver Linings Remixed,’ a remix album featuring versions of tracks from his debut album reimagined by DJ Seinfeld, Andhim, Soundbwoy Killah, Laurence Guy, Ron Basejam, Grandbrothers, Trim and more. Typically wide ranging on genre, the mood progresses from ambient soundscapes to hip hop beats, deep disco and house to breakbeats and emotive techno. Linking the album together includes a new Catching Flies track ‘Daymarks,’ a “Part 2” version of ‘Yu’ which features a transatlantic rap collaboration between the UK’s Jehst and US’s Blu (of Blu and Exile fame) and Catching Flies’ own “Ambient Reprise” of ‘Satisfied.’ Speaking on air on BBC6 Music, Lauren Laverne said — ‘Remix albums — sometimes they’re great, sometimes they’re not so good with lots of filler… This is not one of those. This is one of the really great ones where every track is different and diverse and interesting. You never quite know where it’s going to go, and I’ve put aside so many tracks to play on the show from this remix album. I would heartily recommend it. It works brilliantly well.’ Catching Flies then released an EP with Anjunadeep, as well as hit single ‘GLY,’ which has received over 20 million streams to date and came with remixes by revered British dance/pop band Hot Chip, and Ninja Tune’s DJ Boring. GLY was shortly followed by a Cercle live session performance of a new track called ‘Orsay,’ filmed at the iconic Musee D’Orsay in Paris. Next came dancefloor banger ‘Oi,’ which was subsequently remixed by Sofia Kourtesis. He has recently hit 2 million monthly listeners on Spotify (no mean feat given he releases all his music independently on his own imprint Indigo Soul). He is currently finishing his second album, scheduled to be announced and released later this year.
