Being Dead
Being Dead knows how to make an entrance - within the first several seconds of EELS, the duo's new record, the bright, hard-strummed guitar line on "Godzilla Rises" conjures cinematic immediacy, a creature emerging from the depths of the ocean in campy, freaky stop motion, fittingly so. Being Dead's records are mosaics, technicolor incantations, each song its own self-contained little universe. And while the dreamlike EELS probes further into the depths of the duo Being Dead's psyche, it is, most importantly, in the year of our lord 2024, a 16-track record that is genuinely unpredictable from one track to the next: a joyous and unexpected trip helmed by two true-blue freak bitch besties holed up in a lil' house in the heart of Austin, Texas.
There are a number of different origin stories for Being Dead floating around on the internet, most of which are immortalized in various press pieces they've done across the last seven years of being a band, and there will likely be more. Falcon Bitch and Smoofy, the multi-instrumentalists and best friends at the center of the BD universe, deliver each story with a wink, inviting you in on the joke.
Monsoon
Monsoon is a three-piece indie rock band from Athens, Georgia who weave together unorthodox styles to create music that dips between the conscious and subconscious. Their upcoming album"Ghost Party" is set to release early 2022.
It was only a couple months after the release of Monsoon's debut album "Ride A'Rolla" that the band garnered the attention of Toyota and were contacted about using the title track for a commercial. From there, the placement landed a spot just after the 2016 Super Bowl half-time show and the band was invited to participate in the world's first "360 multi-cam music video" launched by Google. Between the reach of the placements and touring, Monsoon gained a small cult-like following along the East Coast. "I had no idea something of this magnitude could happen at such an early stage in our career. It's the kind of thing you hope for, but don't ordinarily see from a band that's just starting out."
