The Limiñanas unveil their first live album and the only official audio recording of Because Beaubourg

THE LIMIÑANAS UNVEIL THEIR FIRST LIVE ALBUM AND THE ONLY OFFICIAL AUDIO RECORDING OF BECAUSE BEAUBOURG IN COLLABORATION WITH THE ARTIST SMITH LIVE AT BEAUBOURG OUT NOW – LISTEN  EMBARKING ON FIRST-EVER NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES THIS FALL

“This French psych duo come on like Tame Impala and Mary Chain’s groovy cousins from Perpignan. Swoony, swirly and slick”

“French Pop in its purest form”

“Sweet 60s melodies combined with The Limiñanas’ psychedelic and modern sound”

The Limiñanas have always known how to surround themselves with creativity: Laurent Garnier, Étienne Daho, Pascal Comelade, Anton Newcombe – these collaborations have consistently opened up new horizons for them. The same is true with Live at Beaubourg, their very first live album, which is a unique testimony to a high-level encounter between the duo’s garage-psych sound and the hypnotic visual universe of contemporary artist SMITH.  This album captures the essence of an exceptional weekend at the Centre Pompidou. Conceived to match the architecture and energy of Because Beaubourg—where the label transforms the museum into a playground with performances, carte blanche events, and DJ sets from legendary artists like Thomas Bangaltera and Fred Again—The Limiñanas deliver one of the highlights of the weekend. Live at Beaubourg stands as its only recording, conceived as a documentary record rather than a simple live “best of.”  The collaboration between The Limiñanas and SMITH dates back to 2024, during Normandie Impressionniste, where the festival director Philippe Platel had the inspiration to bring the artists together. At the time, The Limiñanas were refining their album Faded, dedicated to actresses from Hollywood’s golden age who have since passed away, and this resonated with SMITH’s work, which often uses thermal cameras: “what the camera sees is not the body but the heat it gives off, a kind of aura left behind before it disappears. That’s exactly what Faded is about: bringing these ghosts back through music.”  This collaboration naturally continued at the Centre Pompidou with a total performance combining sound and visuals, where bodies became luminous silhouettes in a psychedelic universe. Surrounded by five musicians and Pascal Comelade, Lionel and Marie Limiñana revisited eight tracks from their catalogue in a continuous trance. Live at Beaubourg captures this rare moment. And to preserve the full visual magic, the video recording is also available.  LISTEN TO LIVE AT BEAUBOURG WATCH THE FULL LIVE SHOW RECORDING

ABOUT THE LIMIÑANAS: Hailing from a small town in the South of France, Lionel and Marie Limiñana aka The Limiñanas reinvent the 1960s French yéyé heritage by fusing it with modern rock. Their unique style blends the rebellious spirit and aesthetic of the Gainsbourg and Bardot era with contemporary garage and psychedelic sounds. Singing in French & English and collaborating with a diverse array of artists, The Limiñanas have a unique ability to distill the cachet of a nostalgic, highly cinematic era while revisiting it through a modern lens. The duo made a name for themselves through prestigious collaborations with iconic figures in the pop-rock scene, including Anton Newcombe of The Brian Jonestown Massacre and Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order. “This is the history of The Limiñanas. Here is Marie, a classic French rock chick who can beat a drum like she means it, and Lio, a sly French guitar hustler with an ear for space. So, listen here to enjoy a subtle pleasure, and get a lesson in survival of the body and soul. The shit rocks.” –Iggy Pop Acclaimed by MOJO and championed by Rough Trade founder Geoff Travis, The Limiñanas have established themselves as the coolest spearhead of the French garage-rock scene. With high-profile admirers ranging from Primal Scream and Franz Ferdinand to Iggy Pop—who regularly features them on BBC6—the duo has become an international force. Signed to Because Music, they continue to captivate audiences and critics worldwide through extensive touring across Europe, the UK, and Australia. # # # For more information on The Limiñanas, please visit: Youtube | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok

Karina Rykman to Release New Record; Shares First Song and Video

ACCLAIMED SINGER-SONGWRITER-BASSIST KARINA RYKMAN RETURNS WITH EAGERLY AWAITED SOPHOMORE ALBUM, LATE CHECKOUT   INTOXICATING FIRST SINGLE, “EASY, RIDER,” PREMIERES TODAY – LISTEN OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO STREAMING NOW - WATCH    US HEADLINE TOUR BEGINS WITH HOMETOWN RECORD RELEASE EVENT AT NEW YORK CITY’S WEBSTER HALL ON SEPTEMBER 25   LATE CHECKOUT ARRIVES VIA KARINA RYKMAN / HIGH ROTATION RECORDS ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25   PRE-ORDERS/PRE-SAVES AVAILABLE NOW

Acclaimed singer-songwriter-bassist Karina Rykman has announced her long-awaited second studio album, Late Checkout, arriving via Karina Rykman/High Rotation Records on Friday, September 25. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now. Recorded with longtime collaborator Gabe Monro at Trey Anastasio’s The Barn in Westford, VT, and LCD Soundsystem’s DFA Studios, the LP is preceded by today’s premiere of the first single, “Easy, Rider,” available everywhere now. Built on a thick bass groove, the cinematic, sun-drenched track traces a conspiratorial escape down the California coast, with Rykman’s unhurried vocals cutting through the golden haze with impossible coolness. An official music video is streaming now on YouTube.   “‘Easy, Rider’ is a summer bop,” says Karina Rykman. “The propulsive bass line, the reverb-drenched guitar chords, the unbothered vocal vibe…I love this tune. It was written in a windowless basement studio with my producer, Gabe Monro, and then brought to Adam November and Chris Corsico (my band), where we fleshed out the sections together. It was a collaborative triumph.  “The song is a fictionalized story about a NorCal criminal and their escape down the California coast, inspired by a visit to Boonville, CA, last summer. Cash buried in the hills, stolen sailboats pushed to 30 knots, diffusing bombs by cutting wires - it was extremely fun to write about what I don’t know, and run wild with it for the first time ever. What I do know is I can’t listen to it without bobbing my head, and I’m thrilled to let ‘Easy, Rider’ welcome people into the orbit of Late Checkout.” LISTEN TO “EASY, RIDER” WATCH “EASY RIDER” OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE LATE CHECKOUT    Rykman – accompanied as always by her tried-and-true bandmates, Adam November (guitar, loopers, effects) and Chris Corsico (drums) as well as a newly expanded band – will mark the arrival of Late Checkout with a busy US tour schedule, kicking off with a hometown headline return and record release event at New York City’s Webster Hall on September 25 and then traveling into December.

Indie pop artist, producer + multi-instrumentalist Leah Nawy announces flowery new EP, 'I Could Bloom From Here'

INDIE POP ARTIST, PRODUCER & MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST LEAH NAWY SEES FIVE YEARS OF SONGWRITING FLOWER INTO MATURITY IN DEBUT EP I COULD BLOOM FROM HERE NEW EP FEATURES SIX NEW SONGS INCLUDING REWORKED VERSIONS OF PREVIOUSLY RELEASED SINGLES "I WAS A FLOWER", "QUICKSAND", "ORDINARY", AND "MIXING PATTERNS" I COULD BLOOM FROM HERE OUT JULY 10 PRE-SAVE HERE

NYC-based indie pop artist, producer & multi-instrumentalist Leah Nawy finds herself in full bloom with I Could Bloom From Here, her debut EP out July 10. Featuring songs she's written and performed over the past five years — reworked, rewritten, and refined as time passed — her first-ever collection stands as a reflection of the artistic process, constantly shooting new stems and petals, growing brighter in color, and pushing upward toward the Sun. "The title is optimistic while almost having childlike surprise and wonder," Nawy explains. "It signals to me both having worked very hard and establishing myself as an artist, yet also 'just getting started' in terms of the trajectory of the growth." PRE-ORDER I COULD BLOOM FROM HERE As well as offering three brand new songs, I Could Bloom From Here features new versions of previously released tracks, including her uplifting, radiant single, "Mixing Patterns", a sonically swirling path to self-discovery led by a rush of electric guitars, an airy drum, and Nawy's momentous and gliding vocals. Singles "ordinary", and "I Was A Flower" also find themselves on the EP, yet the stripped-back moments, orchestral textures, distorted rock choruses, synth-driven sound design, soaring sax solos, and unexpected groove shifts now braided into their roots offer a new, dynamic experience with the same lyrics. LISTEN: "MIXING PATTERNS" Her most recent single "Quicksand" also finds a new home on the I Could Bloom From Here EP, once again celebrating the artist's meticulous and entirely independent creative process. Entirely written, arranged, and self-produced by Nawy over the course of two years, Nawy's last single marked her first full exploration of blending electronic production with live instrumentation, culminating in a comforting message to her younger self. LISTEN: "QUICKSAND" "Because these songs have existed with me for so long," adds the multi-disciplined artist, "they genuinely feel like a part of who I am." Playing them at dozens of live shows, rewatching and revisitng them constantly throughout the years, she's watched her own art change with her. "For a long time I kept trying to get the older songs to keep up with who I was as I kept growing. At a certain point, I knew I had to stop reworking them, let them be what they were, and set them free. They represent who I was at the time, and I put a lot of time, effort, and care into them." Leah Nawy is a Taiwanese-American songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist who masterfully blends indie rock, folk, and soul into honest, intricate stories. Sonically and lyrically inspired by artists like Brittany Howard, Mitski, and Japanese Breakfast, Nawy carries an artistic elegance and attention to detail that is all her own. With a background in classical music, music theory, and years of playing in bands across venues in New Jersey under her belt, Nawy is ready to bring more listeners into her expansive, multi-faceted sonic universe. Last year, the artist shared the delicate, bright rock/pop tune "Mixing Patterns", which garnered support from The Boston Globe, Atwood Magazine, The LUNA Collective and more. I Could Bloom From Here will find Leah Nawy not just fully realized with her earliest work, but also teeming with new ideas for her vibrant future. Connect with Nawy on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube and stay tuned for much more to come from the rising artist.
