STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
Christopher The Conquered is coming in hot today with some solid life advice: "When life gets hard, put it on your credit card!" Indeed, it's the title of the first single from the new album I Am Christopher and you can check out this sub-two minute gem right now over at Bad Copy.
Hear it everywhere this Friday; the album is out Sept. 25 on Grand Phony. Find the totally awesome pre-order packages here.
This album got me good and the latest single ("Work Friends," out this Friday and premiered today at MXDWN) is the best example yet of the Earth-meets-electronics sound of Speaker Face. Check it: "The ensemble merge rich, earthy string instrumentation with soothing downtempo electronic beats, layering breathy, ethereal vocals over the top."
What's it about? Trent Freeman says, "'Work Friends’ speaks to the masks we wear in the workplace. Forced relationships playing out in environments unnaturally curated to make us our most productive. This track is a covert dance party for the freak hiding behind a tightly buttoned shirt and uncomfortable shoes."
Infectious melody aside, it's the three-part harmonies on this one that are just beautiful.
"End of The Day" is one of Chris Laun's tunes on the upcoming Perpetuity EP by the trio of singer-songwriters from Baltimore known as Reforester. "With exquisite harmonies blending with the guitar strings, Reforester wriggles right into your mind. The passage of time is all too real and this is a reminder," says Americana Highways in a feature today. Wanna feel good? Listen!

“The Mad Alchemist Liquid Lite Show’s art is a combination ’60s San Francisco analog light show utilizing ink, dye, mineral oil, and rubbing alcohol sandwiched between glass plates. [This video was made using plates] spun on converted overheads with LED light sources. Each plate has a video camera filming these liquid combinations with signals going to laser projectors. ‘Hammer of The Dogs' was performed with four sets of plates, projected and then re-filmed live, no Photoshop!”

“Dream System 8 deftly crafts modern synth-pop laden with moods and colors that recall the likes of The Human League, Vince Clarke, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Duran Duran, and Giorgio Morodor without copying them." This, this, this!
