ZSELA REVEALS "STILL SWING" MUSIC VIDEO; DEBUT ALBUM 'BIG FOR YOU' OUT NOW

ZSELA UNVEILS "STILL SWING" VIDEO FROM DEBUT ALBUM BIG FOR YOU UK / EU TOUR BEGINS NEXT MONTH INCLUDING PERFORMANCES AT PITCHFORK LONDON, MUTATIONS, LE GUESS WHO? AND BAREZZI BIG FOR YOU OUT NOW ON MEXICAN SUMMER

Still from Zsela’s “Still Swing” music video, directed by Sean Frank “[Zsela] introduces (or reintroduces) listeners to her hypnotic, honeyed voice and reels them into mutual vulnerability with each subsequent word” — PITCHFORK “Stunningly one-of-a-kind… immersive, commanding, and unapologetically itself” — KCRW “a new and imaginative musical era for Zsela” — PAPER Earlier this year, Zsela released her highly anticipated debut album, Big For You, via Mexican Summer to praise from fans, critics, and contemporaries alike. Ahead of her upcoming European tour, Zsela now shares the official video for “Still Swing,” a highlight from Big For You. Watch HERE.  Directed by Sean Frank, the “Still Swing” video was filmed at Stud Country, the queer line dancing event series at Club Bahia in Los Angeles. “It was really scary at first to flash mob this established event with headphones in singing 2x speed, but when I was in the middle of the dance floor, it felt so beautiful I almost cried,” says Zsela. “I felt so held and supported by Stud Country. I’m so thankful for the warmth and support they showed us sharing their night with us. And I’m so thankful for Sean and the entire team that made a very chaotic few hours so seamless and fun! It was a very thrilling special experience reminding me how important community is!”  “Filmed in the centre of an active dance party, Stud County, the video explores contrasts—slow motion dancing with real-time performance, movement with stillness,” says director Sean Frank. “We wanted to capture the raw energy of the dance floor—a space where joy, release, and escapism co-exist, and individual narratives meet collective experience.” KCRW proclaimed Zsela’s debut album as “stunningly one-of-a-kind,” with SPIN adding that she “immerses listeners in her nostalgic, radiant emotional world.” Co-produced by Zsela alongside close collaborators Daniel Aged (Frank Ocean, Kelela) and Gabe Wax (The War On Drugs, Soccer Mommy), Big For You builds on the sonic world established by her 2020 EP Ache of Victory, which The New York Times called “at once earthy and otherworldly.”  Since its release in June 2024, the album has earned praise from the likes of The Observer, PAPER, DAZED, Interview, Associated Press, SPIN, The FADER, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, and Wonderland, with The New York Times selecting Zsela’s standout single “Fire Excape” as one of their 40 best songs of 2024 (so far). Next month, Zsela will head to Europe and the UK for a tour in support of Big For You including festival dates at Pitchfork London, Le Guess Who?, and more.

The exhilarating new collaboration between grind/noise rock act Full of Hell and Toronto-based industrial artist Andrew Nolan— Scraping The Divine — promises a sonic exploration unlike any of their prior endeavors. 

The album's first single “Burdened by Solar Mass” serves as a haunting introduction to this collaboration. Dylan Walker of Full of Hell describes the track as “...the first meeting point between Full of Hell and Andrew Nolan. The end product is an amalgam of mangled guitars and dub pulses and an ominous warning about our own insignificance in the universe.”

Stream / share "Burdened By Solar Mass"

Crafted throughout recording sessions spanning from 2019 to 2023, Scraping The Divine captures the raw energy and relentless spirit of both artists. The album was recorded by renowned producers Seth Manchester of Machines with Magnets and Kevin Bernsten of Developing Nations, and mixing and production was led by Andrew Nolan. The finishing touch comes courtesy of mastering engineer Nick Townsend.

Scraping The Divine features an impressive lineup of guest appearances, including Taichi Nagura (Endon), GxCx (Contagious Orgasm, BBVGC, ex-Guilty Connector), Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, JK Flesh), Intensive Care, and Alex Hughes (Hatred Surge, Holy Money), further enriching its intricate soundscape. The album’s striking artwork is illustrated by Savage Pencil, celebrated for his iconic designs for legendary acts like Swans, Sonic Youth, Big Black, and Sunn O))).

Incoming November 15th on Closed Casket Activities, Scraping The Divine pushes boundaries and challenges perceptions, making it a must-listen for fans of both Full of Hell and Andrew Nolan, as well as anyone seeking an immersive auditory experience.  Pre-order here.

anaiis shares new single "Honeydew" + collaborative mini album with Grupo Cosmo out 11/14

ANAIIS SHARES NEW SINGLE “HONEYDEW”  ANAIIS & GRUPO COSMO OUT NOVEMBER 14TH

anaiis by Alexandra Waespi anaiis & Grupo Cosmo  PRE-SAVE: https://symphony.to/anaiis/anaiis-grupo-cosmo PRE-ORDER VINYL: https://anaiis.bandcamp.com/album/anaiis-grupo-cosmo “Honeydew” LISTEN: https://symphony.to/anaiis/honeydew (October 17, 2024) - Today, French-Senegalese artist anaiis shares her new single “Honeydew” from her upcoming mini-album anaiis & Grupo Cosmo, set to release on November 14th. “Honeydew” is a deeply personal exploration of anaiis’ journey to motherhood. She describes it as the “heart of the album,” reflecting on the complexity of love, fear, and attachment that motherhood brings. “Honeydew explores the sweetness and stickiness of mothering, and learning to let go,” she says.  anaiis & Grupo Cosmo is a seven-track project that seamlessly blends diverse cultural and musical influences, exploring profound themes of Black identity, motherhood, birth, and the natural world. Describing the mini-album as “a sonic emergence of the person I was becoming,” anaiis reflects on her personal growth throughout its creation. anaiis & Grupo Cosmo will include previously released single “Toda Cor” featuring Grammy-nominated Brazilian singer-songwriter Luedji Luna. The pair wrote the song in a studio after bonding over shared cultural experiences as Black women, despite their geographical differences. Grupo Cosmo, the Brazilian trio accompanying anaiis, brings together drums and percussion, bass, and Sessa on acoustic guitar. Their sound combines the raw energy of a power trio with the lush, layered traditions of Brazilian music, including rock, pop, and psychedelia influences from the ’70s. This blend of electric and acoustic elements produces a sound both full and intimate, resonating with the warmth of folk and bossa nova. Though Grupo Cosmo has yet to perform live together, their intense studio sessions sparked a creative synergy that is reflected in the album’s organic flow. Their music connects deeply with nature, balancing environmental themes with moments of beauty and contemplation, celebrating simplicity and sensitivity amidst global complexities. Pre-save/order anaiis & Grupo Cosmo and listen to “Honeydew” above and stay tuned for more from anaiis coming soon.
