“…the kind of pipes that just don’t seem teachable.”—Paste
April 29, 2022—Much-lauded vocalist, songwriter and producer Miya Folick returns with “Oh God” today—her first new music in three years and the first song to debut from a forthcoming new EP on Nettwerk. Listen to the track, co-produced and co-written with Mike Malchicoff (King Princess, Yellow Days, Del Water Gap), here and watch the video, directed by Lucy Sandler with creative direction by sportscar, here.
“‘Oh God’ is that moment of sudden remorse/panic/fear: when you put your palm to your forehead and wonder what you have done with your life,” says Folick. “You know that something needs to change, and for the first time, you’re willing to try anything.”
Raised in Santa Ana, CA and now living in Los Angeles, Folick first attracted acclaim with two EPs, 2015’s Strange Darling and 2017’s Give It To Me EP. Folick’s 2018 Terrible Records/Interscope debut album Premonitions drew critical praise from NPR, GQ, Pitchfork, The FADER and many more; landed her a Tiny Desk Concert for NPR and saw her sell out headline shows and play festivals the world over.

Man A Monster — the brand new musical project formed in lockdown this past year in the UK between vocalist Robbie Grey of the iconic band Modern English ("I Melt With You") and young composer Alex Cook — are excited to present their first song, “Warm Blooded Creatures.” There is a vast difference in age between the two artists, but the marriage of Grey’s post-punk and indie sensibilities with Cook’s original compositions forms a unique sound that incorporates electronic tones with biting noise-rock in their first offering. |

Creating an atmosphere both fragile in mood and tension with a cinematic quality of depth and scope, “Warm Blooded Creatures” shows an instant understanding between the two musicians as they strive for an original and emotionally moving sound. Watch the animated music video for “Warm Blooded Creatures” created by Nick Savy (Batman Begins, Gorillaz) on YouTube HERE. Grey had the following to share about the single:
“We wanted to marry a warm, human lyric with a more edgy, noisy song. Then add an orchestration, hoping this would create an original sound. And I think we did that.“
Stay tuned for more information and music from Man A Monster throughout 2022 and beyond. |

Gabríel Ólaf's Decca Records debut Solon Islandus set for July 15, "The Drifter" out now
DECCA RECORDS U.S. TO RELEASE GABRÍEL ÓLAFS’ LABEL DEBUT SOLON ISLANDUS JULY 15 “THE DRIFTER” OUT NOW   single artwork photo credit: Vidar Logi April 29, 2022—Solon Islandus, Gabriel Ólafs’ Decca Records U.S. debut, is set for release July 15. Pre-order HERE and listen/watch/share the first single/video “The Drifter” HERE. “‘The Drifter' is inspired by an Icelandic folk icon and I wanted the piece to capture his character: playful but there’s also sorrow and hardships. The melody is deliberately sparse to give a sense of his travels,” says Ólafs. “This video is the first in a series of a visual world created for the album by Heimir using macro photography. I love stripping down melodies to the most important parts to build the world of the character around them and the microscopic landscape of Heimir’s visuals for 'The Drifter’ mirror this journey of the character, drifting from place to place.” An ambitious concept album and transmedia project that pays homage to the artistic spirit of the people of Iceland, Ólafs’ major label debut is a work of personal discovery—an exploration of the artistry, culture and place that has shaped Gabríel’s identity. The record draws inspiration from the writing of one of Iceland’s great poets, Davíð Stefánsson, in melodic works for piano, ensemble and choir with spoken word elements. Ólafs was read Stefánsson’s poems as a child by both his father and grandfather, and he especially fell in love with his earliest poetry collection, Black Feathers (Svartar Fjaðrir), published one hundred years earlier when the poet was the same age as Ólafs when he was making the new album. While recording, Ólafs would read the poems and try to capture their essence in melody. The title Solon Islandus comes from Stefánsson’s only novel, the tragic tale of a real-life Icelandic drifter, Sölvi Helgason. A composer with a longstanding love of film, Ólafs takes a “directorial” view of composition—creating motifs and themes to represent characters and emotions. “Tracks like ‘The Drifter’ and ‘Júlíana’ are inspired by characters from the novel,” says Ólafs. “It’s almost as if this was a movie, and these are their themes.” While influenced by a particular quiet and delicate Icelandic sound verging on minimalist, Ólafs is especially drawn to melodies. “Tchaikovsky, Morricone, John Williams, they can all write a good melody. Nothing really compares.” Working at his piano, Ólafs always begins with melodies, recording the results with voice memos on his phone. “I have maybe 200 of them,” Ólafs notes. For Solon Islandus, he tried to simplify his melodies as much as possible. “I wanted to match the poems, which are straight to the point, straight to the heart,” he explains. Gabríel Ólafs was only 14 when he wrote the song that landed him his first record deal, which saw his first album, Absent Minded, released on an independent label five years later. His tracks have since been streamed tens of millions of times online; his music is, writes PopMatters, “brimming with beauty.” GABRÍEL ÓLAFS—SOLON ISLANDUS  1. Streymir 2. Júlíana 3. The Memory 4.
