Released via Shimmy-Disc, POE "To One in Paradise" (for Hal Willner) is a collection of Edgar Allan Poe’s immortal poems read by musicians, poets, actors & one magician, and dedicated to the memory of  Kramer's great friend and fellow traveller on the musical roads least taken, Hal Willner (1956 - 2020). Today, he shares a new piece of ambient cinema to accompany the track "Eldorado," read by Edgar Oliver.  Kramer has curated an eclectic collection of voices to render living vision to Poe's entombed words, and draped them in a series of ambient musical landscapes evocative of a world long lost to time. What he offers us here is nothing less than a fully imagined symphony of voice, sound and memory. The music he created that accompanies each reading keeps the light shining on the performer, polishing the space between the poetry and the performance. As a fitting coda, an archival recording of Allen Ginsberg vividly reciting “The Bells” closes out the album.  POE “To One in Paradise” (for Hal Willner) is out now via Shimmy-Disc.

This sound shines in singles like “E30”, “FIRE” featuring DC the Don, and “GUN SMOKE,” where midwxst delivers untouchable bars over booming 808s. Last September, midwxst, born Edgar Sarratt III, released his debut album E3, which provided listeners a path forward through relationships, identity formation, and the internet. midwxst enlisted industry veterans and session musicians to soundtrack what he described as a “fairytale gone wrong,” serving as an intricate painting of love in all its forms and evolutions.  Listen to “no handouts” above and stay tuned for more midwxst coming soon.

What People Are Saying About
Alan Sparhawk’s White Roses, My God:

“‘Can U Hear,’ the album’s first single, is certainly an unconventional expression of grief, with its droning electronics, sputtering beat and eerie Auto-Tuned vocals. But that digitized wail is unmistakably mournful, and there is something admirably bold in the way Sparhawk, as ever, rejects the expected.” [“Can U Hear”] New York Times
 
“…this is a record that ultimately finds Sparhawk turning pain into a kind of spiritual beauty” - [Album of the Month] Uncut
 
“…viscerally inventive within its closed sound world: snaking, slurred, and often anarchically fun.” - Pitchfork
 
“Like almost everything Sparhawk creates, it is beautiful, but also very heavy, as you might expect, with grief at its core.” - Brooklyn Vegan
 
“White Roses, My God is a glance at Sparhawk’s musical sketchbook that’s somehow both unrehearsed and constructed with care, enjoyable and unknowable, as transient as it is profound. It may be somewhat unexpected in form, but its compelling content should come as no surprise” - Under the Radar
 
“…minimalist and elegiac, at once teasing, fracturing, and stumbling upon emotions through the means of vocal manipulation and technological rigidity ” - Our Culture
 
“Made by Sparhawk entirely on his own, White Roses is the sound of someone searching for his voice, a new way to articulate the love they shared and all that is missed.” - The Quietus

“Allie X is an astonishing force in songwriting” GQ (UK)  “Individual and boundary pushing in her approach, the songstress is never behind trends, only in front of them” Wonderland Thursday, October 31st (Los Angeles, CA) – Just in time for Halloween, synth pop savant Allie X releases her highly anticipated Girl With No Face Deluxe album today via Twin Music.   Listen to the Girl With No Face Deluxe HERE   The deluxe album could not come at a more perfect time - the spookiest day of the year. As the veil between worlds thins, the deluxe album grants an immersive experience to the listener to settle into a world of shadows and spirits. The deluxe filled with new tracks and dark wave remixes on some fan favorites from the original album. Like the original, the deluxe was also produced by Allie herself, ensuring that every track reflects her distinctive style and personal journey. The deluxe gives a nod to its mother which is filled with experimental sonics of the early 80’s all while expanding on those foundations with fresh layers and innovative remixes.   “The deluxe release of ‘Girl With No Face’ is a further exploration into darker corners. Songs that didn't feel perfect on the original, now feel appropriate that the world is built and I've been able to play live. This deluxe version includes dark wave remixes from some of my favorite artists, a v cunty song about a Saint with Tove Lo, and my new fav, the song of the fall.. “Bon Voyage.” Allie adds.   Girl With No Face was named as one of the best albums of 2024 so far by Cosmopolitan, Brooklyn Vegan, The AV Club, The Boston Globe, and more.   Tonight, Allie also kicks off the second leg of her 2024 Weird World Tour in Boston, Massachusetts and she’ll be ending the tour on November 27th in Fort Worth, Texas. She’ll be hitting cities all over the country and visiting markets she’s never played before. Violet Chachki – who featured Allie on the track - “Mistress Violet,” praised as “transfixing and provocative” by NPR – will open on the tour.   See below for itinerary. Tickets can be purchased here: https://us-store.alliex.com/   Over the past decade, Allie X has cemented herself in the pop pantheon as one of music’s sharpest, most insightful, and trendsetting artists, producers, and songwriters, having written hits with luminaries like Troye Sivan, Mitski, BTS, and many more.   Girl With No Face Deluxe Tracklist 1.
