ST. VINCENT: Beck “Uneventful Days (St. Vincent Remix)” Out Now
St. Vincent a/k/a Annie Clark has unfolded new dimensions of “Uneventful Days” a/k/a “quite possibly the best song Beck has made since Morning Phase” (STEREOGUM) from seven-time GRAMMY-winner Beck’s current album Hyperspace a/k/a “his best in a decade” (PEOPLE).
St. Vincent, who plays guitar, bass and keys in addition to remixing the song, commented:
“I remixed Beck’s new song, ‘Uneventful Days!’ I guess I was listening to a lot of ’70s Herbie and WAR at the time and wondering how much funk was inside me, too. I sent it to Beck and he dug it, but he said ‘it should be 3 bpm faster.’ And what do you know? HE WAS SO RIGHT. It made all the difference in the groove.”

Italian bedroom pop artist BIRTHH announces sophomore album ‘WHOA’ (out 3/06)
“Parakeet” is a gorgeous song that BIRTHH (aka Alice Bisi) penned as a tribute to her beloved grandmother… in her words, “Growing up I used to spend a lot of time with my grandma, she was the silent type, definitely someone who showed her love through action, not as much through words. She had two parakeets, her eyes watered a little when the first one died, she loved Nougat and I don’t remember her ever yelling at me – or at anybody else for that matter. Two years ago I was touring around Europe supporting Hein Cooper, my dad called me and said that nana just had a stroke, that she survived but wasn’t really the nonna Franca we were used to anymore. Before visiting her at the hospital I collected all the pictures and memories I had of my childhood with her, that’s how “Parakeet” was born. Every line is a memory, music is a time machine, I wrote this one for myself and myself only.”

CONNOR BVRNS RELEASES MASSIVE DEBUT SINGLE, “ANTHEM” WITH BONN, VIA ASTRALWERKS
CONNOR BVRNS was born with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), a rare condition that affects his perception of sound. To compensate, he paid extremely close attention to his environment, the people around him, and the nuances of sound. Initially challenging, the adversity allowed him to process frequencies indistinguishable to most people. In addition, Connor has synesthesia and perfect pitch. These attributes combine to deliver a uniquely nuanced and personal soundscape. It’s with this refreshing approach that Connor sets himself apart within an industry saturated with talent.
