Wax Idols
Hether Fortune
-from Oakland/LA, CA
-"The third album by Wax Idols is equal parts declaration of independence and meditation on togetherness, and this is, perhaps, where it strays from the band’s previous work: American Tragic stands out for its profound empathy — elegiac in its approach, but connective by nature. To say that it’s simply a break-up album is to sell short an idea that Hether Fortune has been playing with over the entire arc of her discography, and that is the notion that personhood is neither fixed nor consistent: We can be independent and attached, in need of discipline and desire, or even fully autonomous with a little bit of help. As Fortune points out here, even America, for all its symbolism and mythic value, also rests in tragedy."



Them Are Us Too
kennedy ashlyn, cash askew
-from the Bay Area, CA

-We are fragile, life is futile.
We make densely textural music, immersing ourselves in the creation of a visceral, resonant, physical/psychic/emotional phenomenon. We revel in futility; we become euphoric body/sound.
In this pursuit we find that we can subvert, to some degree, confines of time and structured narrative, embodiment and physical space.
As queer femmes, we emphasize engaging with other women/queer/trans artists, spaces and communities in our work. We do not tolerate oppressive ideologies and behaviors (including but not limited to misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia and ableism) at our shows or in our collaborators.
Kennedy uses she/her/hers pronouns, Cash uses they/them/theirs and she/her/hers.



Screature
Liz Mahoney - Vocals, Miranda Vera - Drums, Sarah Scherer - Organ, Christopher Orr - Guitar
-from Sacramento, CA

-Screature lumbers along its own shadowy path, a chimera stitched together from post-punk, ’67-era garage psych and early goth. Themes of the paranormal and life gone seriously awry permeate the songs. There are no happy endings—just endings. Formed by four friends in the summer of 2011, Screature is a dark psych band based in Sacramento, California. Their self-titled debut was recorded and mixed by Chris Woodhouse at the Hangar Studios in November 2012. The LP is self released on the band's own imprint, Ethel Scull Records.
