"Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico" video: https://youtu.be/PWx7d9zzsSM "Alien" video: https://youtu.be/E4MKrntql1Y "Strange God" video: https://youtu.be/FL5EK_B2qsc QUOTES ABOUT TAN COLOGNE: "Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico is a total vibe record, and a terrific, beautiful and fully realized one at that, man.” -Bill Pearis | Brooklyn Vegan "This Taos, New Mexico duo’s debut album is a fine set of atmospheric dream-pop with a haunting desert-psych sound combining circling guitar lines, serene vocals and hypnotic melodies. - DY| KEXP "The duo of Lauren Green (ex Mirror Travel) and interdisciplinary artist Marissa Macias have made something that feels sonically spiritual with their debut album, Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico, an airy record that is heavy on atmosphere and meditative dreaminess.” - Dan Goldin | Post Trash Tan Cologne is a new project by Lauren Green (ex Mirror Travel) and interdisciplinary artist Marissa Macias. The two artists met in Taos 5 years ago and began exploring new musical and creative terrains together. From forming an underground gallery space to composing experimental soundscapes, "Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico" emerged from parallel observations and growth, with New Mexico as the axis of the journey. Tan Cologne recently released their debut album on Labrador Records (Sweden). It is a story of time capsules and contact; examining fossilized terrains, monsoons, New Age dreams, alien visitations, resurrected communes, and the life cycle of a human ego on Earth. Cave Vaults on the Moon in New Mexico is an entryway to a new portal – a journey that explores the mysteries and oddities of New Mexico, alongside spatial inner-workings of growth and spirit. Using sound as a vibrational connective tissue, Cave Vaults was recorded in two unique spaces – a 250+ year old historic adobe fortress located in Ranchos de Taos Plaza, and a small casita in Northern New Mexico. Everything you hear was written, performed, recorded, and produced by Green and Macias. The only other musician on the debut album is Green’s mother, who plays the flute. The album title was grafted from Taos Composer Joanne Forman’s 1987 soundscape. Her composition “Cave Vaults of The Moon” accompanied a sculpture exhibition in Taos, NM on imagined alien artifacts – a resonant investigation and scent of Tan Cologne.

TAN COLOGNE

Where are you currently based? I’m based in Brooklyn, NY. How did you first start playing music? I started strumming a guitar at the age of 13, just learning all the tunes to covers that made an impression on me like Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Everclear and so on. You've started a new project 'Shacks & Palaces', how did this come about? OH, dang a hard question. So there’s many ways to look at it I guess, but one way it started is because of my love for lyrics. When I heard different lyrics dropped, like the song from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, “Wait, they don’t love you like I love you,” the hammer dropped. I think everyone is an artist and has something to say that is beautiful and can lift you up. A lyric can dance with you, so in my belly I’ve always wanted to give that piece of myself that may make you feel something. How do you go about juggling the your commitments with The Temper Trap with this new project? Well, at the moment The Temper Trap has set ambitions to release more music, but the juggle lies with us all being in different parts of the world! We are all in each other’s corner with the different releases we have coming up and projects in the works. Who else is in Shacks & Palaces and what instruments do they play? Although this is released as solo record my lady Britni had an integral part in these songs. She is singing on the whole record and has been able to be in the development of the songs and help me to turn on the wind screen wipers, so to speak, to see what is in front of me. Oscar Dawson, an up and coming Aussie and legend, is an incredibly gifted multi-instrumentalist and we also hit this task together. Your debut single 'Once Upon A Hilltop' is out now, what influenced the sound and song writing to for this track? I’d say I dared myself to use a simple chord structure to write something imaginative. I’ve always been such a fan of the Flaming Lips and it feels like there’s a little bit of magic in everything they do, so with this song I used them as frame work and thought, what would they sound like if the wrote a folk song? How did you go about writing Once Upon A Hilltop? Well on the road touring you’re always riffing away and I don’t what country I was on when I came up with the riff but many years later I decided this was a song bed worth fighting for. Some songs come easy over years. This was a song I’ve been writing for years trying to understand what it should be Where and when did you record/produce? I recorded in Melbourne and Brooklyn… I met up with Oscar Dawson, band member of Holy Holy and producer for a bunch of what you’re hearing on triple jjj, at the moment. We started in Melbourne, I texted him and said do you want to work on this tune and he loved it, so we started there 6 months later he met up with me in Brooklyn to finish it. What programs/instruments did you use? Oh, this song is a marriage between organic foot stomping and to mellotron synths. Oscar records on Logic What do you like to do away from music? I’ve been keen on playing b-ball here in NYC, there’s always pick-up games here. I’m not that good, but I love it! I tell you what the games here go straight to people's hearts and they never forget so if you’re not that good aka me sometimes it's hard to get on the court again! Who are you listening to at the moment? Oh well with everything going on right now I’ve gone inwards and not listening to much except a nice a DJ playing all sorts of tunes to keep you comfy at home. How are you spending your days in this very unique time in history: Well, Britni and I have two kids, so I’ve become a total school teacher and it’s hands-on now. Outside of that we just got Disney Plus and I’m watching Mandalorian which is pretty epic. Any advice for aspiring professional musicians? I’d say in a band setting, you grow together and you develop together and your ability to stay connected in your personalities is as equally, if not more important to understand and resolve if possible then the music your making. I’ve seen some awesome bands never make the light of day and I’d dare say it’s because of this. Favourite food and place to hang out? Ha-ha coronavirus times so my home is my hot spot for now!

UNIFY Gathering is set to return to Tarwin Lower from January 21 – 24 2021 with an all-Australian lineup. Read the festival statement below: It’s no secret that the music industry is one of the hardest hit industries by the current situation, and our hearts go out to the artists, crew, agents and managers that have lost their entire touring plans with no certainty of when it is coming back. This festival launched in 2015 with entirely Australian artists, and we’ve had the pleasure of having pretty much every heavy artist in the country perform across our six events. Now we want to invite all of them back for a celebration of this community and everything it provides. We hope to get back as many artists as we can. We’ll be pushing dates back a week to make the January 21 - 24 weekend in 2021. In all of this chaos, one message stands as true as ever: music saves lives. It’s the inspiration in our lives and it’s the basis of communities that can band together to survive through tough times. We wanted this announcement out now to declare our intentions, and give the people in our community something to look forward to. While UNIFY prides itself on connecting with the global heavy music community, it was with the local community of artists, crew, agents and managers that we launched our festival in 2015. In that first year, it felt like most of the Australian heavy music community got together to create one of the most memorable weekends of our lives. At the time, Australian heavy music artists were mostly unable to play festivals in AUS. We launched UNIFY because we wanted to see what it would be like for The Amity Affliction, Northlane and In Hearts Wake to play 40 minute sets at night at a festival. Looking at that lineup, it included many of the bands that defined the next half decade of Australian music, and that poster has become an iconic moment in the history of this community. We are also aware that Australian artists are right now doing their best to reschedule current dates and look for opportunities that can work once life resumes. As such, UNIFY will also have no restriction on artists wanting to do tour dates surrounding our dates. We also won’t worry about putting through artists that played last year or the year before. It’s not about exclusivity for us, it’s about community. We will be back with more details soon, but for now please join the event page to stay up to date as we roll out.

UNIFY GATHERING ANNOUNCE ALL-AUSTRALIAN EDITION FOR 2021 + REVEAL FESTIVAL DATES LINEUP TO BE ANNOUNCED

After two years of long work, even working across winter to finish the tune, Just A Gent & Xavi release their melodic masterpiece - ‘Miso & Memories’ this Friday March 20. The song is produced by both Just A Gent and Xavi, with vocals by the extremely talented Akira Flay released independently. ‘Miso & Memories’ is an emotional track blending the best elements of pop and dance music creating an earworm you won’t soon forget. The catchy vocals paired with the bouncy feel of the production could sit across a nightclub dancefloor or commercial radio station. The track’s strong swing influence, along with the laid-back future bass style of the drop, keeps the listener wanting more. ‘Miso & Memories’ is also a sonic tale that brings about a sense of not only love, but also loss. This track expresses a feeling about the fabled “one that got away” and getting over them. Just A Gent is a young pioneer for the future bass music scene, teaching himself to produce at a young age accumulating millions of streams before he was legally allowed into a nightclub. In 2019 he released his third EP ‘URCA’ through Monstercat which was well received by media and fans alike, with Just A Gent going on to perform at FOMO, Groovin the Moo and Falls Festival over the year. With over 75 Million plays on Spotify alone, Just A Gent continues to grow with each release reaching new heights. Xavi is a St. Louis based melodic bass music producer, who has seen support from artists like Porter Robinson, San Holo, Luca Lush, and many more. His most recent releases include an official remix of “Kids” by Lione, released on Tiesto’s record label Musical Freedom, and a single on Electric Hawks recent compilation Rebirth, titled “She’s Beyond Us.” Akira Flay is a Santa Barbara, California based songwriter and producer blending hip-hop and electronic music with a varied somber or bombastic vocal delivery. Last month he released an EP titled “Hello, Goodbye.”

Gordi along with the team behind the popular weekend streaming festival Isol-Aid are proud to unveil a special international lunchtime edition of Isol-Aid: Lunch Without Borders. Taking place over 2 hours from 11.30am Australian eastern time this Wednesday, Lunch Without Borders will see 5 artists from around the globe play a short Instagram Live concert for their Australian fans via Isol-Aid’s growing platform. They’ll be joined by 3 local Australian artists throughout the event. Isol-Aid launched 3 weeks ago and has run a live streaming festival over consecutive weekends and has been warmly embraced by the Australian music community. As borders start to close and touring in Australia an impossibility for international artists, Canowindra musician Sophie Payten (aka Gordi) wanted to connect her musician friends abroad with their Australian fans, while expanding the reach of Australian music industry charity Support Act. The curated event will see each artist play 15 minute back to back sets on their own Instagram Live stories, with traffic directed from Isol-Aid’s site and social accounts. The lunchtime concert will feature Tennessee singer and boygenius member Julien Baker. Her first two albums Sprained Ankle and Turn Out The Lights were met with critical acclaim and saw her perform numerous times on US late night TV, collaborate with an impressive list of artists and toured Australia most recently in 2018. Of Monsters And Men’s frontwoman Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir joins the Australian lunchtime event from her wintry home studio late at night in Iceland. With several number one albums in many countries, they recently celebrated the eighth anniversary of their debut album My Head Is An Animal. OMAM were recently out in Australia for Falls Festival over the new year period. Further inland from Nanna’s home in Reykjavik, Iceland is electro-folk falsetto star Asgeir. Originally due to return to Australia next month, the popular singer released his third album Bury The Moon earlier this year. One in 10 people in Iceland own a copy of his debut album In The Silence. British indie electronic producer-singer Shura comes to us from her newly adopted home in Brooklyn. Recently fleeing the UK as President Trump threatened to close borders, she made it back to the US just hours before the British travel ban was imposed. Her second album Forevher features the slinky synth pop single “religion”. Staying in New York, Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell make up synth pop duo Overcoats. Recently joining the Loma Vista roster, their recent track “The Fool” showcases the band’s emotionally-led harmonies and passionate delivery, which will no doubt be highlighted in raw acoustic duo format. Joining the overseas visitors for lunch are locals - our host Gordi whose second album Our Two Skins is out in June, as well as Melbourne experimental bedroom pop purveyor Katie Dey in solo piano mode and triple j Unearthed star George Alice who has caught global attention with her streaming hit “Circles”. The live stream will kick off from 11:30am this Wednesday (Aus EST), with each artist playing a 15 minute live set via Instagram Live. It will be moderated by the Isol-Aid Instagram page where viewers can be directed to the individual artist accounts for each set. Viewers can donate to Support Act, Australia’s leading organisation raising awareness and funding for musicians and arts industry workers suffering from mental illness, injury and other related issues.

Southern California twin duo, The Garden, share the video for “Clench to Stay Awake” off their recently released fourth studio album Kiss My Super Bowl Ring. The album debuted #1 on the Alternative New Artists Albums Chart in the US and #6 on the Top New Artists Albums Charts in the US while just clicking over 1 million streams for the album worldwide. WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “CLENCH TO STAY AWAKE” The Garden have been carving their own path since their formation in 2011. Known musically for their fast, punk-influenced jungle and DnB styles, they have a total of four studio albums and four EPs under their name, including LPs The Life and Times of a Paperclip (2013), Haha (2015), and Mirror Might Steal Your Charm (2018), Kiss My Super Bowl Ring (2020). Touring at a constant rate across the US, Europe, UK, China, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and Mexico since 2013, their show is a mix of aggressive, unpredictable and trickster-ish tendencies. Additionally, The Garden made their Coachella debut in 2019 with previous festival appearances at Camp Flog Gnaw, Sasquatch, Riot Fest, Concrete & Grass in Shanghai, Neon Desert, End of the Road Festival, Tropicalia, and more. Kiss My Super Bowl Ring, though primarily self-produced, includes tracks co-produced by Dylan Brady, and Wharfwhit, along with tracks featuring Ariel Pink, Khalif Jones (aka Le1f) and even a snippet from Carrot Top. The new album rivals the band’s previous work lyrically and sonically with unmatched belligerence. Kiss My Super Bowl Ring boasts a roster of songs that just might be the most creatively rattling yet from the duo

Neon Future IV is Steve Aoki’s most pop-focused album yet, standing as the largest creative output from the futuristic concept series to date, featuring music from countless collaborators across global genres, including names such as Tory Lanez, Mike Shinoda, Lights, Desiigner, AGNEZ Mo, and actress/singer Zooey Deschanel amongst many more. Most recently, Steve teamed up with one of China’s biggest superstars Lay Zhang (from Exo) and will.i.am for ‘Love You More’, Travis Barker and Global Dan for ‘Halfway Dead’, and Latin pop sensation Maluma for the release of ‘Maldad’, which was #5 on Billboard’s Vamos a Bailar: The 10 Best Collaborations Between Dance & Latin Pop Artists list. Last year, Steve Aoki also worked with the iconic Sting and platinum-selling trio SHAED on contemporary love anthem ‘2 In A Million’ which received praise from the likes of The New York Times and Billboard, and capped things off with the Backstreet Boys on the emotional single ‘Let It Be Me’. Steve Aoki says, “I have songs that are intrinsic to the DNA of what Neon Future is about and I have my club bangers and all this stuff, and they all work together, because at the end of the day they’re all musical expressions of this period of time of Steve Aoki. “The central force of Neon Future is more about the narrative of the evolution of Neon Future I, II, III and IV. If you listen to each album back to back, you can hear this musical evolution and that is most important for my fans to take away. Each volume in the series goes hand in hand with the songs that are meant to tell our future story.” In addition to including the biggest names in music, Neon Future IV stays true to other albums in the series by incorporating some of the leading minds of today, with the 17th song on the album ‘Homo Deus’. The track is named after the book Homo Deus: A Brief History Of Tomorrow, and features its writer: historian, philosopher, and bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari, who is also known for New York Times chart-toppers Sapiens: A Brief History Of Humankind, and 21 Lessons For The 21st Century. Continuing with the effortless fusing of literary and intellectual flare, the record includes Kita Sovee in the intro and outro, otherwise known as the character modelled after Steve Aoki from his Neon Future comic series with Impact Theory that explores the world of techno-optimism.
