James Tillman is a New York CIty-based multidisciplinary artist with a focus on music and moving image. His work often reflects themes surrounding the ephemerality of lived experience: contextualizing sensory aspects of life through fragments of sound, film, poetry, and archival research.
Waterstrider - captivating because of its apparent defiance of our world’s physical laws - is a fitting stage name for Nate Salman. Salman creates music as therapeutic self-exploration, seeking to find true self in spite of our world’s supposed rules and rigid constructs. On this new collection of songs, the Sublimate EP, Waterstrider turns loneliness, heartbreak, hope, and rebirth into thick and often psychedelic layers of sound. Inspired by musical auteurs like Björk, David Bowie, Kate Bush, Bat for Lashes, and Moses Sumney, Waterstrider moves fluidly through genres to find lush sonic landscapes.
Mediocre Cafe is a musical project and live band from Sacramento California. On Easy Listening–the band’s debut album, Mediocre Cafe deftly pulls from a wide range of influences, synthesizing Errol Garner and Ariel Pink into an effortlessly cool and original record. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, creating a 30-minute world that, true to its name, is easy on the ears.
