‘Content Oscillator’ the debut LP from Seattle synth/punk group Telehealth, is out today!
In 2017, Attitude quit his music to pursue a career in Architecture. Formerly a touring musician in bands like Kithkin, Deep Sea Diver, Bryan John Appleby – the transition from being a musician to an architect was not so simple. Over time, Attitude grew discontent by the architectural practice’s proclivity to ‘save the world’ through the lens of design. However, disillusioned through their utopian visions and the aesthetics of sustainability, Attitude felt architecture has consequently become the tool for developers to sit comfortably within a political domain that is essentially capitalist and centrist.

Y’all listen up to the CHICKASAW MUDD PUPPIES new single “Preacher”
Athens, GA trio the Chickasaw Mudd Puppies drop a new single today, “Preacher,” a slightly ominous, stripped-down blues rocker about a fictitious Southern preacher, the sort of fire-and-brimstone, mesmerizing showman whose performances are like “makin’ love to the whole congregation.” The song appears on Fall Line, a high-octane distillation of all the sound and the fury and the supercharged heart and soul that made this crackerjack combo so rip-roaringly great from the get-go back in day. Mixed and mastered by the legendary John Keane (R.E.M., Indigo Girls, Widespread Panic), the album’s raw immediacy and crunchy sound straddles punk and Southern swamp rock.

CHLÖE OWNS OUR HEARTS IN DEBUT ALBUM ‘IN PIECES’
In speaking about her album, Chlöe says “I saw a photo of a porcelain doll 3 years ago, holding her heart in her hand and from then, I said this will be my album cover… In Pieces is for the ones who behind closed doors are breaking and don’t know how much more they can take. In Pieces is for the ones who hold the people up around them while barely holding up themselves. In Pieces is for the people who continue to get stabbed in the back, heart broken by the ones they thought they could trust, but STILL that doesn’t change their heart and how they love. In Pieces is for the ones like me, who wear their outer shell so well that you’d have no idea what they’re going through. I hope this project brings healing to those who listen, as it’s been completely therapeutic for me and I can’t wait to share my heart with you, literally.”
