Ari Joshua on the electric guitar, Billy Martin on drums, John Medeski on the organ and clavinet team up for this single-take track. Released on April 25, 2025, Blurry Face […]
Katharina by ART SCHOP is a subtle and enigmatic acoustic folk track exploring the life of Katharina Kepler, the mother of Johannes Kepler, the German mathematician and astronomer born in the 16th century.

Get A Job by SPLINTER is an energetic and excitable rock banger, exploring the frustration we feel about work. It covers the expectations of getting a job and the anger we feel succumbing to the rat race.

Flaunt You by ROBIN SWANN is a bold yet emotionally compelling indie pop track detailing the queer experience of falling in love outside of the mainstream and traditional expectation of heterosexual romance.
