alexmaax – Bets Off
(Spotify)
Amazing depth style of voice and beautiful music layering in this new song of Alexmaax.
Burgeoning artist alexmaax, the solo project of Los Angeles-based producer Max Hershenow (known for his work as half of two alternative pop duos, MS MR and Post Precious) gets ready to share his debut single "Bets Off" and accompanying video next week!
Max first got his start in music while studying at Vassar College and the Martha Graham School of Dance, where he began writing music to accompany his choreographies. Soon after graduation he started MS MR with Lizzy Plapinger and it quickly took off. After signing to Columbia Records in 2011, the band toured internationally for 5 years and performed at most major festivals, including Lollapalooza, Splendour in the Grass, Glastonbury and the main stage at Coachella. Since MS MR, Max has channelled his focus into production and writing projects with other artists- namely Charli XCX, Ryn Weaver, Nakhane, Francisca Valenzuela- and has also scored dance and film pieces.
As a queer artist discovering his own voice, Max was inspired by other artists like Perfume Genius, ANHONI, and the Knife, to create something that felt genuinely like his own. He began work on his first solo project in 2018 and is here now with "Bets Off," the first track from the forthcoming EP. For the first time in his music career, Max has embraced his insecurities and let them shine in this body of work.
He shares, "I always thought of myself as a potential vocalist. I was convinced there was this voice deep inside me that just needed to be unlocked in the right way. But I was insecure about its rough edges, and gradually developed a complex around singing. Eventually I resigned myself to being a producer and songwriter, even telling my mom to stop asking when I was going to start singing because it made me too sad. But the urge didn't really go away, and over the past few years a few things changed: MS MR came to a gradual end (or hiatus or whatever), and I started working with a vocal teacher who encouraged me to explore the outer edges of my voice in a freer way. I learned to face my voice with curiosity and playfulness instead of dread. I started hearing it differently, relaxing into its strangeness and specificity, nuance and limitations. Little by little I understood how to strengthen and nurture it."...

Unwed Sailor – Haze
(Spotify)
Following the release of the driving singles "Camino Reel" and Look Alive", today Unwed Sailor share a different kind of look from the new album via the new single "Haze". The 9-minute long album closer is an introspective ambient journey featuring layered guitars, percussion, subtle electronics, and heady synths, calling to mind the band's work on 2003' The Marionette and the Music Box LP.
The group enters its third decade of creating lush, evocative instrumental music, with the honesty of Johnathon Ford -- a onetime member of Pedro the Lion and Roadside Monument — anchoring the way. The upcoming album's seven songs are about emerging from hardship, not unscathed, but rather, with newfound conviction in who you are.
