"The queer and femme-led outfit bring a modern mysticism to familiar folk-pop sounds, elevated by their seamlessly blended voices, and immediately captivates the listener and holds strong throughout the EP's entirety." 
-The Boot

"Fans of First Aid Kit, Wye Oak or The Staves should be all over this; the band’s sense of melody and arrangement is nothing short of superb."
-Backseat Mafia

 "This folk-pop trio finds beauty in the form of complex musical arrangements packed with substance"
-chorus.fm

"Together they produce a multi-layered vocal attack, powerful driving accompaniment and soaring and swooping vocals."
Americana UK


"Camp Bedford is here to offer us something both skilled and passionate."
Country Queer

"‘2AM’ showcases the trio’s powerful blend of harmonies, with witchy folk, gritty rock and satisfying pop."
LOUD WOMEN

"Our America is a national anthem for a country in peril. It’s easy to find ourselves in a cycle of existential dread amidst near-constant news of gun violence, attacks on queer rights, police brutality, and climate crises fueled by corporate greed. Our America is a call to the listener to stand together against the hatred and fear that our nation is built upon. It’s a plea to maintain hope in community and each other, to remember that we keep each other safe. Most of all, Our America imagines our ability to build a nation that truly uplifts and protects all of its inhabitants. 

We are releasing the track on the last day of Pride month, in time to give folks a message of togetherness and hope on July 4."

Members of Camp Bedford and their musical contributions are Roxanne Quilty (they/she) (vox, guitar) Mariela Flor Olivo (she/her) (vox, lead rhythmic guitar) and Tallen Gabriel (they/them) (cello).

Produced and engineered by Julian Giaimo, mastered by Daniel Cardinal.

Introducing Jean Ryden, unveils debut single "Chlorine" today

INTRODUCING JEAN RYDEN 
THE NEWCOMER UNVEILS DEBUT SINGLE “CHLORINE,” 
NEW MUSIC COMING SOON
Photo credit:  Angela Ricciardi & Silken Weinberg
June 30, 2023—Rising artist, songwriter and producer Jean Ryden unveils her cinematic debut single, “Chlorine,” today. The track, self-written and co-produced, uses imagistic lyrics and a string-laden arrangement to examine grief and Ryden’s longing for alternate timelines to take hold. Listen here and watch an accompanying visualizer here.
Of the song, Ryden shares:
“During the process of writing this project I spent a lot of time in solitude, playing my piano in my apartment, going on a lot of walks in my neighborhood. On these walks I would hear dinner parties—the clanking of dishes and silverware—or kids playing, thrashing around in a pool I couldn’t see covered by hedges. I would get whiffs of smells that transported me back to my childhood: fresh cut grass, the blooming of flowers, and the smell of chlorine. I would go home and make dinner for myself, and the feelings of isolation and loss were ever apparent. Specifically, the smell of chlorine has always evoked a range of emotions. 
On one hand I have pleasant memories of swimming, coming out of the pool, my lips purple from the cold, my mom making tea from the herbs in the garden. And on the other, it reminds me of losing her. The morning of my mom’s death I stayed home from school, and we went on a walk. I was supposed to join her for a swim, but I needed to change into a swimsuit. My mom went to go swim and I went to meet her a few minutes later. It’s hard for me not to reflect on that day and wonder what would have happened had I made her wait for me to change, if we had just walked a little longer. This song is a tribute to her. She shared with me the gift of music and enough love to last me a lifetime.”  
The visual for “Chlorine” was conceptualized and co-directed by Ryden. The video uses footage recently shot at her late mother’s childhood home, intercutting bits of home movies with images of a young Ryden surveying a place crucial to her past. “‘Chlorine’ for me conjures up a lot of different feelings,” Ryden says. “I associate it with fond memories of childhood, playing in the pool, but also with one of the worst days of my life.” This introduces the overarching visual narrative that will accompany Ryden’s forthcoming music, which she has built alongside close creative collaborators Angela Ricciardi and Silken Weinberg (Ethel Cain, Albert Hammond Jr). 
The Los Angeles-based artist began studying music at age three, when she started cello lessons as a child on Long Island. Music had long been in her family. Her maternal grandparents were founding members of the Long Island Philharmonic; her grandfather on her mother’s side was a session violinist who had played with Stevie Nicks and Chet Baker and her grandmother, Jean Ryden Eley, is the inspiration for her artist persona. Ryden’s Julliard-trained mother passed on the family’s passion for music to Ryden, instilling a two-hours-a-day practice habit in her daughter. 
Ryden’s early training, combined with her study of producers like Rostam, James Blake, and Sufjan Stevens, and lyrical influences Elliott Smith and Regina Spektor and Mitski, inform her classic pop songwriting and meticulous production. More from Ryden is imminent.

Vevo, the world's leading music video network, announces the release of Christine and the Queens' live performance of "Angels crying in my bed." "Angels crying in my bed" follows Christine and the Queens previous studio performances of "Tears can be so soft" and "A day in the water."


Christine and the Queens' poignant, passionate electronic pop thoughtfully questions gender, sexuality, and identity. "Angels crying in my bed" is from Christine and the Queens new album, PARANOÏA, ANGELS, TRUE LOVE. Inspired by Tony Kushner's iconic play, Angels in America, the album is the artist's first under the Christine and the Queens moniker since his debut, 2014’s Chaleur humaine.


Redcar felt colorful and absurd, like Prior sent to his insane dream-space,” Chris explained, “The follow-up Paranoïa, Angels, True Love is a key toward heart-opening transformation, a prayer toward the self — the one that breathes through all the loves it is made of.”

KLARA LEWIS & NIK COLK VOID - Their debut album, Full-On, out today on Alter - Watch the video for 'I'll Always' here

KLARA LEWIS & NIK COLK VOID
DEBUT ALBUM FULL-ON - OUT TODAY VIA ALTER

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘I’LL ALWAYS

“Full-On is like an extreme tasting menu, recommended if you like your experimental electronics crunchy and burnt.” – The Wire

“… these short, spiralling sounds are particularly pleasing, engrossing, oddly rewarding, and thoroughly brilliant” – The Quietus Album of the Week



KLARA LEWIS & NIK COLK VOID’s debut album together, Full-On, is out now on vinyl and digitally via Alter: https://alterstock.org/product/full-on/

Following their first single, ‘Work It Out’, and a run of festival dates that included Sonar and Donau, today the artists share the video for final track from the album, ‘I’ll Always’, where a wordless voice conjures raw emotion. Listen to the track, described by the pair as “a manifest of strength through vulnerability” here: https://youtu.be/WSnYP07gjVs

The collaboration between Lewis and Void seems somehow inevitable: both artists have released solo work via Editions Mego, and both have individually carved out idiosyncratic voices in the worlds of extreme, abstract electronic music. Lewis explains, “We kept bumping into each other at shows, then Nik invited me to support Factory Floor and after the show we were hanging out, and said we should collaborate”. A series of improvised live shows followed, with performances commissioned by Café OTO, BBC Radio 3 Late Junction and the Liverpool Philharmonic, before the pair created Full-On.

With Full-On, Klara Lewis and Nik Colk Void explore and assimilate the very edge of their individual practice where a unique collaborative interface allows two voices to combine and morph into a third, emerging as Lewis and Void play ping pong with the conversation of sounds, generating ideas and bouncing them off each other, simultaneously encouraging the other to go further with their ideas opening up an opportunity to engage with previously unexplored terrain. Guitars, synths, modular systems, voice, sampling and outboard processing are folded in a playful unification with a propensity to tease, explore and extract new ideas and shapes, sometimes brutal, sometimes playful. Trust was also a compositional tool allowing instinct to freely move on any aspect of the sound and space. This sound / feeling / instinct / association let this wild and wonderful material grow organically into something new.

The result of this exploratory interplay are 17 intense miniatures revelling in the process of unadulterated experimentation, not just between the humans, but the machines themselves. United in an endless series of sonic U-turns, they intertwine pop and noise whilst also bringing together visions of tender techno and ambient. 

Void goes on to explain that the effect is akin to “being sat next to someone on a train browsing Instagram with the sound up… mixing genres, as though the algorithm has made a mistake…”. Lewis expands on the process, “Exchanging ideas in the way we did gave a new perspective, discussion and form - we would pick up what aspect one liked from the other and elaborate the idea by treating, shaping, letting it grow using processes we would use on our own sounds. Like remixing, reworking each other's ideas one at a time - passing over and trusting the other to develop further.”

The various zones manifesting from all this reveal vocals shifting in mysterious ways, dust drenched beats and devilish string loops navigating a disorientating domain. The experience of listening to Full-On is to be confronted with a range of ideas, a platter of emotions. A place where beauty and the beast collide with the impulsive and outright weird. What a wonderful world.
