Photography by Bob Foster. Interview by Heather Hawke. Fauness’ four-track EP Maiden No More is reflective, both as in the way the sounds are glittery and sparkle like fresh snow on a bright clear day, as well as by how thoughtful this pop exploration into the emotional cascades of womanhood is.  She was raised between the lonely, leafy suburbs […]

Interview by Heather Hawke.  Justus Proffit’s sophomore album Speedstar was released on August 20 via Bar/None Records and it’s an album that strives to learn about the makings of one’s inner peace all along the while knowing that the internal walls have to be torn down to get there. The album comes on the heels of his […]

Interview with Tom McFarland. Photography by Filmawi and Anna Victoria Best. Interview by Heather Hawke. UK-based production duo Jungle released their third album Loving In Stereo on August 13 and the album finds lifelong friends (Tom McFarland and Josh Lloyd-Watson) steering their sound back to their roots, to a time when they could make whatever music they liked without overthinking it.

Made entirely on his own […]
