Chersea ‘Lets Talk About Love’ Premiere

by the partae April 30, 2021
written by the partae
Today, Chersea released her brand new single “Let’s Talk About Love” from her upcoming EP “Divine Comedy.” Divine Comedy has certainly been a humbling revelation for Chersea. From the cold introspective beginnings that characterized her debut “Grey Matter” with overtones spilling into her sophomore album “In Limbo”; Divine Comedy provides a new perspective of the person Chersea has become. Utilizing isolation and the feelings of navigating difficult relationships and healing from unrequited love, Chersea’s discourse has changed. It’s become dialogue and less of a poetic introspection.

It’s important that this time you can hear the love in the sentiments in the form of her comedic “divine”; where she expresses humility and the honesty of recognizing or misidentifying deception contributing to her faults. She recognizes however, that she doesn’t need everyone to like her, that she makes people uncomfortable, and that no matter what mess she tries to fix it can result in a bigger disaster. That is her Divine Comedy. Reaching a place of inner peace that ebbs between disdain and respect that is directly influenced by the interactions of others. This perpetual cycle  precedes her own existential crisis illuminated by the requirement of needing things others can’t provide. By pointing out her own failures through a series of dialogue she exposes the truth behind paradise: that it could just all be a joke after all, and that this joke could be the most defining measure of being human.

The Yule Brothers ‘I Am On Fire’ Premiere

by the partae April 30, 2021
written by the partae

There is no bond stronger than family; there is no feeling better than when a song hits just right. The Yule Brothers are a marriage of those simple concepts. Unbreakable and defiantly alternative, their anthemic style of Singer-Songwriter Indie Rock is genuine and bold. Born in the logging town of Prince George, BC, Canada Darby and Erin Yule have accomplished more in 7 years through pure-grit and a love for the craft than those with more at their disposal do in a lifetime.

In the summer of 2020, they went back into the studio with their friend Karl Dicare to do what they do best, record real and honest music. This time with a twist though; Darby and Erin were only going to work with their friends. No big names, no flashy studio musicians, just people they honestly loved being around. These new songs are made completely from the heart with a team that has as much passion as Darby and Erin do. Erin’s girlfriend Courtney even did the front cover. The Yule Brothers are pleased to announce their ambitious new single I Am On Fire, produced by Karl Dicare.

Skytech & Fafaq Reunite as All That MTRS for Funky Tech-House Single “Scrolling Up.” Out Now on CYB3RPVNK

by the partae April 30, 2021
written by the partae

Artists: Skytech, Fafaq pres. All That MTRS
Title: Scrolling Up
Label: CYB3RPVNK
Download / Stream

Skytech and Fafaq return to R3HAB‘s CYB3RPVNK platform with another hot collaboration under their joint alias All That MTRS. “Scrolling Up” is a cheeky play on society’s social media-checking habit, using a catchy vocal riff as the complement to the track’s funky, deep, but techy sound. The two talented Polish producers pull out the stops with growling synths and a minimal, driving bassline, making for a danceable track that is reminiscent of dark club dance floors. Skytech and Fafaq recently released “Lose Control” together with Saga Bloom as All That MTRS’ debut, and we look forward to seeing what else these two will put together in the future, so stay tuned!

Mateusz Dziewulski, better known by his artist name Skytech – is already a household name in his home country of Poland, and the rest of the world is soon to follow. His name first appeared on the map when R3HAB discovered his original track “Tiger” and then helped Skytech put final production touches on it, proving to be a winning team after “Tiger” skyrocketed to over 100M streams on all platforms. Since then, the two have worked on numerous tracks together via the CYB3RPVNK imprint, such as “Fuego,” “What You Do,” “Hyperspace,” “Starflight,” and more, fusing their sounds to make music that is club and festival-friendly while never sacrificing substance and soul.

Fafaq first erupted onto the scene in 2015-2016 with a series of popular releases on Spinnin’ Records, including “Tiger” with R3HAB, “Fever” and “Indigo” with Yves V, and “Pillowfight” with Bassjackers. His singles “Stay” and “Teenage Crime” were featured as the main theme of Tomorrowland Unite 2017 and Tomorrowland Winter 2019 after-movie. Fafaq returned after a long hiatus last summer with “I Want That House,” re-establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with. Keep an eye out for more music from your favorite and new CYB3RPVNK’s artists coming soon!

INDIE-POP SINGER & SONGWRITER, JAKE STONE. RELEASES BRAND NEW MUSIC WITH SINGLE BROKEN LOVE
Music News

INDIE-POP SINGER & SONGWRITER, JAKE STONE. RELEASES BRAND NEW MUSIC WITH SINGLE BROKEN LOVE

by the partae April 30, 2021
written by the partae

Melbourne-based indie-pop artist, Jake Stone, has today released his highly-anticipated new single, Broken Love.

The largely self-taught singer/songwriter last released a single in March 2019, You’d Be, and since then has been working on developing his own style and unique sound through creating new music. Jake is influenced by many artists and enjoys drawing on key characteristics from different genres to avoid being boxed into one specific sound, with inspiration for lyrics and vocal techniques coming from past and present greats such as Tupac, Dan Smith and Bastille.

Described as an exciting emerging talent, each of Jake’s songs provide an exclusive sound. Through his music he experiments with different dynamics, exploring indie-pop and electronica sounds combined with his own blend of soaring vocal hooks and seemingly flawless production, resulting in tracks that sound simultaneously familiar and fresh.

True to form, Jake’s new single, Broken Love, is yet another new sound than any he has produced before and, upon first listen, appears to be an unadorned love song. With lyrics such as ‘Treason for my, you’ve played me from the start” the listener can begin to appreciate the story Jake’s spellbinding vocals are giving away through the music. Broken Love is produced by Curtis Hatton and consists of complex layers of synths, guitars and heavy drums to create a unique pop sound.

Broken Love reaches new limits for Jake Stone and offers only a taste of what is still yet to come, cementing his place as one of Australia’s most promising upcoming artists.

INDII G. BY NICK DEMARAIS

Multi-talented, lo-fi hip-hop rapper, Indii G. shares his new standout track, “Cherry Blossom.” Shining with bright pianos, upbeat tempo, and catchy lyrics, the track showcases his knack for encompassing a range of genres from chill lo-fi hip hop to bedroom indie pop.

“This song to me encapsulates the feeling of meeting someone and falling in love. In it, I compare the girl to a one of my favourite flowers, a cherry blossom, because they’re rare and beautiful,” explains Indii. Each individual Cherry Blossom tree can hold their blossoms for about a week depending on weather conditions, making their extraordinary beauty a sight to behold. “The Cherry Blossom video is probably my favourite yet,” adds Indii. “Nick and Pat, the directors, did a great job building sets that portray the fantasy like feeling of the song with an abundance of cherry blossoms to match. The shoot overall was just a whole lot of fun and I can’t wait for more.”

RICH BRIAN DROPS OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR ‘SYDNEY’

by the partae April 29, 2021
written by the partae

PRAISE FOR RICH BRIAN

The Sailor
triple j Feature Album

“The best music of his young career” [The Sailor]
Pitchfork 

“At just 19, Brian is dropping thoughtful, lyrically dense rhymes.”
UPROXX

“The 88rising mainstay’s sophomore effort effectively solidifies his position in the world of hip-hop, building up his character as a force to be reckoned with.”
Hypebeast

“[Brian’s] biggest artistic leap yet”
Highsnobiety

“An important step forward”
Complex

Today rapper, producer, singer, and songwriter, Rich Brian has dropped a new official video for ‘Sydney‘. Watch it HERE.

Directed by Bludshot and Grace Lee, the music video for ‘Sydney‘ finds Rich Brian in a surreal but beautiful setting. The serene nature of Brian’s surroundings in the music video, with its still, wide shots provide the perfect backdrop for the song’s lyrics, which illustrate the high-flying lifestyle Brian has grown into over the years. In his trajectory from a YouTube bedroom sensation in Jakarta, into an Asian music icon, he reflects on how he learned over the years to care less about his doubters and focus more on his career, lifestyle and next steps.

Following the release of his highly celebrated project 1999, Rich Brian dropped ‘Sydney‘ as his first single of 2021. It has garnered over 7.4 Million streams to date. The track was released via 88rising, distributed by 12Tone Music LLC. Listen to it HERE. With a beat inspired by hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia, ‘Sydney‘ blends Rich Brian’s signature deep vocals and laid back flow with some saxophone thrown in, thus once again displaying the artist’s ability to constantly shapeshift and reinvent his sound.

Last month, ‘Sydney‘ served as the new anthem for the PUBG MOBILE Pro League Southeast Final. PUBG MOBILE is a mobile gaming application with over 30 million active daily users and over 700M+ downloads per year, making this a huge moment for the Southeast Asia gaming community.

This past year, Rich Brian released 1999. The EP is a sonically diverse project born out of months of social isolation, with the majority of it both self-written and produced, including features from Louis Bell, Bekon & The Donuts and Santell on production. 1999 received praise from outlets like HotNewHipHop, Hypebeast, UPROXX, Genius and Complex. To date, Rich Brian has garnered over 2.4 Billion streams.

‘Sydney‘ by Rich Brian is out now via 88rising/12Tone Music,

Where are you currently based?

I’m living in Sydney, Australia.

How did you first start playing music?

When I was young my Uncle would always play the piano and drums and put awesome music on and I loved it and just knew I wanted to make music.

What’s been happening recently?

 I’ve just released my debut EP that I was working on for the past year so I’m so happy to have it out in the world now! I have 2 more music videos for it to release over the next couple of weeks. I’m now working on a few new songs that I plan to release this year. I’m also currently rehearsing for my first gig after releasing my latest music so I’m excited for that!

Your new self-titled three track EP is out now, what influenced the sound and songwriting?

 I drew a lot of influence from some of my favourite artists old and new. Lana Del Rey and Solange are big influences. I also looked to a lot of old favourites of mine such as Massive Attack, Sade, Fleetwood Mac. I listen to their songs daily and I love how easy listening they are. I had just returned from a trip to Europe so I was living for the summertime which you can definitely tell with the songs being so summery haha. Cala Gonone was one of my favourite places I visited in Italy and I wrote that song in like 20mins! It just flowed out of me. On & On was about a break through in my music and self confidence. Summer Lover is literally describing summer when I was a kid with an added romance.

How did you go about writing the EP?

 I wrote about 8-9 songs in my room with basic production to the vibe that I wanted. I took 4 of my favourite ones to my favourite Producers to turn them into what they are today!

Where and when did you record/produce/master and who with?

 I demoed them all in my room toward the end of 2019 to early 2020. On & On was recorded before and after lockdown with Matt Hurt in his Balmain studio. Matt and I have been working together for a long time and he knows me really well so he always gets my vibe. Cala Gonone I took to Alex Preston as we had released a couple of tracks together at the time. We recorded that in his home studio in Dee Why. Summer Lover was the last one to finish and I reached out to Xavier Dunn to work with me on this one as I loved his sound and thought he would do a great job with it and he did! Peter Holz did the mastering for me. He’s also mastered my songs Forever Young and Seeing you again in the past.

How did you approach the recording process?

Firstly it was important for me to work on the sound and vibe that I wanted to put out to the world. I listened to a lot of songs to figure out what I liked most about the songs I loved. Once I had these demos it was simply matching the songs to the most suited Producer and sitting with them through the process making sure the direction stayed on track and also a lot of inspiration came whilst in the production process too.

Your EP features the single On & On, how did this track come about and what does it mean to you?

It was the first song I wrote on the EP and it came at a time when I had decided to stop holding myself back and gain the confidence to produce the demo’s myself and really find who I wanted to be as an artist and so this song just came very naturally with that state of mind and new goal I had set myself. I’ve always struggled with my self confidence and can be very shy. I’d say I’m a bit of an extroverted introvert haha. So this song really resonates with me.

Who are you listening to at the moment?

I’m loving Joy Crookes, Cleo Sol, Snoh Allegra, Clairo, Pip Millet and The Internet to name a few. I think you could definitely hear my songs aligning with these vibes.

What do you like to do away from music?

I love to travel, spend time with my friends and family. I love a night out but also love a day on the couch watching movies! It’s all about balance!

What’s planned for 2021?

More music and more live gigs! I have a couple of songs in the works. My first live performance of my EP is coming up  30th of May and I’m so excited for this! I’m wanting to do more live shows this year!

Favourite food and place to hangout?

I’m obsessed with Pad Thai and basically all pasta! I love to hang out at the beach or in a bar/restaurant at sunset with the people I love.

ALFA MIST NEW ALBUM BRING BACKS OUT NOW ON ANTI- RECORDS

ALFA MIST NEW ALBUM BRING BACKS OUT NOW ON ANTI- RECORDS

by the partae April 27, 2021
written by the partae
Photo credit: Johny Pitts

ALFA MIST “BRING BACKS”
FBI RADIO ALBUM OF THE WEEK

“a beautifully meditative and sumptuously produced body of work” – Loud & Quiet (UK) 7/10

“Alfa Mist presents an extraordinarily contemplative album, even for the already vibrant young London jazz scene, that sensually reflects on the search for meaning.” – Musikexpress (DE) 5/5

“Intensely dynamic” – Tip Berlin (DE) 5/5

“”Bring Backs” contains nine tracks that will make you change your mind about the state of jazz as a “dead language”.” Billboard (IT)

“a fascinating combination of jazz, hip-hop and soul” – Mania (NL)

London based producer, pianist, bandleader and MC Alfa Mist releases his acclaimed fourth full-length album Bring Backs, out now via ANTI-.

To celebrate the launch of the album, Alfa played a free-to-view concert, streamed live on YouTube last night. Recorded in the legendary Metropolis Studios, the show sees Alfa play through the new album accompanied by a full 12 piece band – a full list of players and guests performing is below.

LISTEN TO CURRENT SINGLE ‘TEKI’ HERE

Latest single ‘Teki’ is the opening track of Bring Backs and the third single to be taken from the album. Earlier this month Alfa released a solo session version of previous single ‘Organic Rust’ with COLORS (watch HERE), while the album’s first single ‘Run Outs’ earned a B List placement at BBC Radio 6 Music.

Bring Backs marks Alfa’s first release for the label ANTI- and is also the most detailed exploration of his upbringing in musical form. The album’s nine tracks of groove-based intricacies, lyrical solipsism and meandering fragmentations are tied together by a remarkable poem written by Hilary Thomas expressing the sensuous realities of building community in a new country. Entirely written and produced by Alfa, the album was recorded in London with a core band of longtime collaborators including Jamie Leeming (guitar), Kaya Thomas-Dyke (bass and vocals) and Johnny Woodham (trumpet).

Over the past 5 years Alfa has steadily established himself as one of the most dynamic and consistent talents to emerge from London’s widely celebrated jazz reformation. Building on long standing affiliations with the likes of breakout star Jordan Rakei, Alfa has always carved his own lane, following a distinctly outsider’s approach and free from the trappings of a traditional musical training. Having arrived at jazz in search of samples for his teenage hip-hop productions, Alfa eventually taught himself piano by ear and quickly developed a unique style, with hip-hop rhythms driving throughout the improvisational forms, all bound by a pervasive sense of melody. His first three solo albums ‘Nocturne’ (2015), ‘Antiphon’ (2017) and ‘Structuralism’ (2019) were all released on his own label Sekito, and were interspersed with countless collaborations and side projects, highlighting a prolific work ethic and true versatility across piano, rapping and production that has established Alfa at the centre of an amorphous cohort of talented musicians to emerge from London.

‘Bring Backs, Live at Metropolis Studios’ Band Lineup

Band: Alfa Mist – Keys, Kaya Thomas-Dyke – Bass/Double Bass, Samuel Rapley – Tenor Sax/Bass Clarinet, Jas Kayser – Drums, Jamie Leeming – Guitar, Junior Alli-Balogun – Percussion, Johnny Woodham – Trumpet/Flugel
Guest Vocal: Lex Amor
Amika String Quartet: Peggy Nolan – Cello, Lucy Nolan – Viola, Simmy Singh – Violin I, Laura Senior – Violin II

MANNEQUIN PUSSY SHARE “PERFECT”

MANNEQUIN PUSSY SHARE ‘PERFECT’

by the partae April 27, 2021
written by the partae

Today, Philadelphia indie punk band Mannequin Pussy share “Perfect,” the title track from their upcoming EP due out May 21. The track follows previously released “Control,” which graced “Best New Songs” lists for Entertainment Weekly, Fader, Guitar World, NPR, Paste, Pitchfork, Stereogum, and more.

CHECK OUT “PERFECT”
WATCH | LISTEN

“Perfect” comes out of months of social isolation & internet-fueled anxiety, examining the practice of condensing your daily life into a manicured stream of images for social media. “Last year, I found myself spending more time on my phone than I ever had in my life. Physically separate from other people, I spent hours of time watching other humans perform on my rectangle. I realised that through years of social media training, many of us have grown this deep desire to manicure our lives to look as perfect, as aspirational as possible,” explains the band’s vocalist/guitarist Missy on the inspiration behind the track. “We want to put ourselves out there, share our lives, our stories, our day to day – and these images and videos all shout the same thing: ‘Please look at me, please tell me I’m so perfect.’ It’s simultaneously a declaration of our confidence but edged with the desperation that seeks validation from others.”

Mannequin Pussy are ready to take you to the Sugarbush High 10-year Reunion in the music video for the track. The video, directed by the band’s vocalist/guitarist Missy, references the 1997 comedy film “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.”

Check it out here.

At the start of 2020, everything was looking up for Mannequin Pussy. The band had released their third album, Patience, and was touring steadily behind it. After nearly a decade of playing, the band finally had gotten the chance to turn music into a full-time occupation. And then, COVID-19 reached the United States, rescinding life as many people knew it. For a while, it seemed like maybe the lull would be temporary, a brief pause before things could resume as they were. And then the numbers ballooned, and the months stretched on, and memories of rooms packed with strangers started to feel alien, dangerous even in imagination. Mannequin Pussy’s new Perfect EP bursts forth from those sprawling months of social isolation and internet-fueled anxiety.

After spending most of the year apart from each other and everyone else in 2020, Mannequin Pussy decided to book studio time and work together in person again. They brought two pre-written songs into the session, but opted to write new material together on the fly from the excitement of reunion. “We just figured if we forced ourselves into this situation where someone could hit ‘record,’ something might come out,” Missy says. “We’d never written that way before.” What came out of that compressed session time with Grammy Nominated producer Will Yip, are some of Mannequin Pussy’s most furious, incandescent songs yet.

Mannequin Pussy is Missy (vocals/guitar/keys), Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass), and Kaleen Reading (drums).

LA SINGER-SONGWRITER-PRODUCER MARINELLI SHARES NEW SONG ‘PITY PARTY’ ANNOUNCES DEBUT EP FUNNY BONE OUT EARLY JUNE

LA SINGER-SONGWRITER-PRODUCER MARINELLI SHARES NEW SONG ‘PITY PARTY’ ANNOUNCES DEBUT EP FUNNY BONE OUT EARLY JUNE

by the partae April 27, 2021

“Whether drawn in by his unique, 90’s grunge reminiscent voice or melancholic songwriting and delivery, marinelli creates an unmistakable atmosphere.” – Lyrical Lemonade

marinelli might be the most connected person in music you haven’t heard yet – till now. Today, marinelli, the moniker of LA based artist David Marinelli, shares a new song and video for ‘Pity Party’ – which premiered on The Zane Lowe Show overnight – alongside the announcement of his upcoming EP Funny Bone.
LISTEN TO MARINELLI’S NEW SINGLE ‘PITY PARTY’ HERE
Born from processing deep emotions, the singer-songwriter and producer unveils his self-written & produced new cut ‘Pity Party’. Sharing more on the track, marinelli explained: “Pity Party is a song about being extroverted to a debilitating degree – I wrote it last April when I was having to deal with not seeing my friends. I did a lot of reflecting on my social habits around then and decided that I didn’t have to let social anxiety rule my life anymore, and because of that this song will always be special to me!!”

The LA-based singer-songwriter-producer and musician extraordinaire has had a hand in a myriad of releases over the last few years – from being Billie Eillish’s original drummer through to producing much-hyped new projects like Spill Tab, Wallice, Australia’s Evangaline, and viral music lord Lonely God. Hell, he even scored a Subway commercial that aired during the Olympics.

Earlier in 2020 though (before everything went to sh*t) he stepped out on his own for the first time as a solo artist – and since then he has released the super fun combination of singles, ‘Turtleneck Sweater,’ ‘Candy Cigarette’, ‘Halloween’ (his first release with Australia & NZ label partner Dew Process), ‘Christmas’, and ‘Oh God’ – quickly garnering the support of extremely listenable playlists, racking up collectively over 4 million streams, and landing him on the cover of Spotify’s ‘Lorem’ playlist.

Fast forward a year and marinelli continues to produce for other artists’ projects, focused on bringing the personality of the individual project into the production, all while he rolls out his debut EP. Written and produced almost entirely by himself, the EP battles feelings that are all-too-familiar to most of us; such as loneliness, emptiness and being forgotten. In other words, prepare your broken heart.

Already racking up millions of streams and pinning himself as an artist to watch, marinelli is definitely one to keep all eyes on.

Leroy Macqueen Debut Single & Music Video OUT NOW

by the partae April 27, 2021
written by the partae

Introducing Leroy Macqueen. A self described cowfolk diva and gender non-conforming alt-western crooner. You might know Leroy as one half of wild garage punk duo The Gooch Palms, but since Leroy and partner in crime Kat Friend retired the band in early 2020, right before Covid made it’s way to Australia, Leroy has been working tirelessly on getting this new solo project up and running. After already flooring audiences across the country with a sold-out headline tour over the past summer and winning hearts as main support for DZ Deathrays and Skegss recently, it’s finally time for the release of ON THE RUN – Leroy’s debut single.

A classic, western-style tale of two lovers on the run from the law, with driving vocal rhythms and Leroy’s signature smooth, deep delivery, you better believe that this banger is an instant classic. One for the ages!

ON THE RUN was written in Leroy’s studio apartment during the harsh Melbourne lockdown and was promptly recorded around the corner at their storage shed turned recording studio as soon as they were granted their freedom! Leroy, being the ultimate DIY queen/king they are, performed, recorded and mixed the track themselves.

With an EP looming and more touring in the pipeline, Leroy will be getting back to what Leroy does best, releasing ear-worm-stuck-in-your-head-for-days tunes and continuing to serenade the house down with one of the most entertaining and heartwarming performances you’re likely to witness.

But for now, sit back, relax and sink into the hypnotising dreamworld that is – ON THE RUN.

Montréal, 6 avril 2021 – Montreal composer Simon Leoza (formerly known as Tambour) shares "L’archange", the new single from his debut album Albatross, to be released on April 30 via Rosemarie Records. Following the singles "La nuée" and "Bloom", "L’archange" reflects the important role of dialogue between the piano and the string quartet. This is the only track on the album where Leoza and the musicians performed together in the same room during recording. Originally composed on piano during a residency at the Banff Center for Arts & Creativity in 2018, "L’archange" depicts the ups and downs of fusional encounters. The piano (the archangel), alone at the beginning, is slowly joined by the strings (the angels) and the piece slowly evolves with the melodious arrangement of the four voices of the string ensemble. Both luminous and nostalgic, "L’archange" is a hopeful track and undoubtedly the most personal on the album. Albatross is Simon Leoza's first full-length album, bringing together unique pieces that the composer has accumulated and shaped over the past six years. Like the path of the seabird that flies great distances, the composition and production of Albatross spanned several years of musical exploration and overseas journeys. After two creative residencies at the Banff Centre for Arts & Creativity, Simon Leoza flies to Iceland where he begins pre-production of the album with fellow artist Snorri Hallgrímsson. Inspired by the awe-inspiring Scandinavian nature, he then spent some time in the Faroe Islands, a subarctic archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean. Back in Quebec, he teamed up with Blaise Borboën-Léonard (Queen KA, Lydia Képinski) who co-produced the album with him. Albatross was recorded at Montreal’s Studio Makina and at Studio Le Nid in St-Adrien. Leoza took advantage of his countryside trip to use the acoustics of the village church and record with the string quartet. The album’s 10 original pieces go from the grandiose to the intimate, characteristic of the composer's universe. More delicate pieces intermingle with the lively emotions of more energetic pieces. Rich in instrumentation and electronic textures, Albatross is a daring emotional journey, subtly mixed by Tonio Morin-Vargas (Flore Laurentienne, Bon Enfant). If the artist's previous EP Constellations (ou comment arrêter le temps) explored time and astronomy, Albatross portrays a personal and authentic travel account of wonder and curiosity, somewhere between the vertigo of the mystic and the comfort of reality... Simon Leoza's cinematic, ambient and moving music evokes Nils Frahm and Max Richter as much as Ólafur Arnalds and Philip Glass. Endowed with a natural versatility and without any musical training, he has instinctively developed his own musical language over the years, which he communicates to his collaborators and musicians for the production of his works. With over 3.5 million streams online, his first three EPs captured the attention of national and international critics, who described his works as melancholic and grandiose, blending mellow acoustics and dreamlike landscapes steeped in nostalgia. The “La nuée” music video, which is approaching 110,000 views on YT and Vimeo is part of the FIFA Official Selection - International Festival of Films on Art (programming - VIDEOCLIPS).

Shady Nasty share new single ‘IBIZA’

PRAISE FOR SHADY NASTY

“song by song, shady nasty are trademarking the untrademarkable..”
Declan Byrne, triple j

“Channeling everyone from the likes of King Krule to Ratking or Iceage, their fusion of their jazz and classical backgrounds with frenetic punk energy makes for an enthralling listen every time.”
Purple Sneakers

“one of Australia’s most exciting bands right now”
Wickedd Childd

“Jittery and tense blasts of sketchy rock that sounds like kids born in the late 90s have discovered some early Helmet or Mark of Cain records. This is good rowdy stuff.”
VICE

Today, Sydney’s Shady Nasty share their first new music since last year’s acclaimed debut EP Bad Posture, which saw love from the likes of The FADER, VICE, Stereogum, NME and more. ‘IBIZA’ is a menacing, barreling slice of Shady Nasty’s dichotomous punk, vocalist Kevin Stathis’ nonchalant spoken-word delivery at odds with the swirling guitars and crushing bass behind him.

‘IBIZA’ sits at the lavish intersection between vlogging, gymming, clubbing and clout. From binge-watching Mike Thurston & Jake Paul on Youtube to blasting David Guetta & Avicii in the Uber; from rounds of vodka raspberries at the Ivy to luxury shopping sprees at Westfield; ‘IBIZA’ is a menacing ode to the extravagant sounds, aesthetics and cultures that are typically rejected by counterculture.

Written and performed by Shady Nasty, ‘IBIZA’ was recorded by The Ruben’s William Zeglis, and mixed by Grammy Award-winning and multi-Platinum selling producer Dave Schiffman (Vampire Weekend, Charli XCX, Weezer, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, The Mars Volta). The accompanying video was directed and shot by Luca Watson (drummer) and Harry Welsh, edited by Luca Watson and VFX by Curtis Agnew.

With backgrounds in jazz and classical music, Shady Nasty subvert expectations. Inspired by the likes of Show Me The Body, King Krule, Iceage, Low Life and Mount Kimbie, the Sydney trio play an energetic and weirdo breed of punk that skirts the boundaries of the genre.

Their art offers an accelerated vision of the online colliding with their personal lives. Coupled with a raucous live show, the trio create a compelling world at the boundaries of alternative punk and contemporary hip-hop: modding cars, gymming, family, digital obsessions and making ends meet.
