Mia Carucci shares new song and video “Pomba Gira”
Today, LA-based singer-songwriter-producer Mia Carucci releases their self-produced single “Pomba Gira.” The spiritual track encompasses the summoning of the Pomba Gira, the Quimbanda queen who represents all facets of femininity, protector of sex workers, and all people free of the confines of sexual identity. Stemming from the Afro-Indigenous religion of Quimbanda, based in Brazil, the track serves as a way to invoke the queen to bless one’s work. The sound of a river stream combined with a minimal drum beat and Mia’s soft vocals creates a sonically-enchanting experience on “Pomba Gira”.

Party Prog Nights, the band’s new EP and first release since 2015, is another sugar rush of ultra-intricate, tech-y instrumental prog metal with a sense of humor.

The band commented “Originally written for a horror-themed composition contest around Halloween 2017, Serpens Nebula is our spookiest and darkest song to date. To achieve this dark sound, we channeled DOOM, John Carpenter and Pokemon Red/Green’s Lavender Town theme in our sound design and composition. I took the opportunity to include baritone guitar, tuned to G, to make the riffs extra gnarly. Of course, it’s still an Alpha Boötis song, so there are still disco beats and optimistic melodies sprinkled here and there.”

NATHAN DAY CRASH LANDS WITH WE COME IN PIECES
“When I was 16 years old, I tried to start a band called Nathan Day’s Imaginary Friends. The idea has always been in my head. The sentiment of each song dictates the costume. If it’s mellow, it will be The Ghost. The Alien represents derealization, which happens to me through stress. When you see me in The Rabbit costume, you know a heavy tune is about to come. The visuals allow me to experiment with the songs and give them a face.” – Nathan Day
