DC’s Den-Mate announces her debut album!
Yesterday’s demons have a way of shaping today’s perspective. Confident and anew, Jules Hale directs Den-Mate—the multi-faceted dark pop project born in her bedroom in rural Virginia—toward greater creative heights, a feat that she attributes to the wisdom gained through harrowing experiences in her past. Loceke—their debut full length, out September 28th on Babe City Records—finds Hale assessing the darkness of her past with a fresh perspective, treating what was once wholly terrifying with a bit of tenderness. The result is a nuanced and grooving take on the story of death and rebirth, starting with the album’s throbbing opener “Charlotte” through the possessed “DC Junkie” and resigning with the ethereal sigh of “Still Life.”

Liz Beebe, Front-Woman of Dustbowl Revival, To Release Hush Now: Lullabies for Sleepy People
Liz Beebe is best known as the female powerhouse of the critically acclaimed band Dustbowl Revival. With an international touring schedule that spans over continents, and months on the road, Beebe found herself becoming an aunt in the midst of the madness. A desire to be present and contribute to the lives of her family and loved ones became what is her first lullaby album, Hush Now, Lullabies for Sleepy People.
The idea of a children’s album focused on lullabies was something that had been brewing for a year or so before Liz started creating the demos. Inspiration came from her friends and family who sent her lists of songs they loved and sang to their own children. From there, she put her own unique twist on each song. Liz recalls, “I wanted to challenge myself and make something of my own. I work with seven talented musicians who, mostly, came up in the industry knowing that working and touring would be part of their career. As someone who fell in sideways, unexpectedly, I have been known to treat myself, with more doubt and skepticism. Making this album was an exercise in creativity and joy.”
Lindsay Latimer – New Video
On the remix, Lindsay shares, “This song teeters on a mash-up of emotions. There’s love, but there’s something heavy attached. It’s a battlefield of sweet confessions in the veneer of a love song, but something precarious survives – something unsettling. There’s an obvious surrendering, but it’s tied up in an enigmatic mystique. This spunky remix pours adrenaline all over the original, while persevering its creamy delicacy. It’s both sweet and sour. It’ll make your head bop.”
Experimental pop duo Black Grapefruit share sultry new single “End”
After a brief stint in Brooklyn following the release of SOS, Randa Smith and Brian Dekker escaped the city, settling into a rural house in upstate New York where pre-war means pre-War of 1812; in rooms where people were born and died, All My Relations came together. Getting away from the city wasn’t a retreat or a hideaway, though; it forced them out from the cover of the crowd and forced them to confront who they were, as a band and as individuals. To start the album they first had to break old habits in the heat of a Lakota sweat lodge and the dirt of their garden.
