Organ Recital is announced for a July 22nd release date on Gearbox Records, and today Bastien Keb shares the first single “Pasadena”. Laid out over busted late night electro-soul, the track recalls fading memories of intimate encounters.

Weaving an imaginative melange of psychedelic-chamber-funk, warped anti-ballads and cinematic instrumentals; Organ Recital is the fourth album by the singular Bastien Keb and a follow up to 2020’s acclaimed The Killing of Eugene Peeps.

Conceived as a fantasy world to escape self-doubt and loneliness, fragments from everyday life continue to bleed through the cracks of reality – the harmony from a distant car alarm, someone’s headphones on the night bus, rain on leaky roof, a decaying siren – to produce a dreamlike journey pieced together from half-imagined memories and late night inner-voice conversations.

Today, Athenian progressive alternative rock band Allen’s Hand showcase their softer side with the release of the group’s latest single, “Piña Colada.” the latest in a series of singles scheduled for release throughout 2022. This marks the band’s fifth single release of 2022, each written and recorded in devout service to the one true Chicken King.

“We wanted to see what would happen if we made a simple song that was as straightforward as possible,” explains frontman Hennis. “We obviously want to challenge ourselves, but we also want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible, so we did our version of something you might hear from Bon Iver or Taylor Swift, even though it’s the furthest thing from that.”

The story of “Piña Colada” and its accompanying video is one of heartbreak. It’s a love story between a chicken and a girl that feels as old as time. They meet by chance and fall in love, but then life gets in the way and the pair split. The chicken tries to win his former lover back, but by the time he does she’s already moved on, so he turns to art instead.

The sight of a chicken in the videos Allen’s Hand creates may be shocking at first glance, but it’s all part of the band’s effort to serve The Chicken King. “It started as something we did once for fun,” explains Hennis, referring to the band’s efforts to appease the supernatural deity. “But then we rebranded our band and restarted the entire project again as a cult boy-band that exists in the shadows. Not showing who we are, it all becomes about the music, which is awesome. The source of all our inspiration is our collective worship of The Chicken King, a supreme being that flows through and encompasses all living things. It’s a weird and strange thing that nobody other than us understands, but that’s what makes it fun.”

“Piña Colada” is the latest release in a year-long project from Allen’s Hand. “Instead of focusing on releasing an album or EP,” Hennis tell us, “we want to make the most out of every song. We’re planning a total release of six songs by summer, and this makes the fifth. Each one has a video featuring a different chicken’s story, and the same will be true for the sixth. Then in the fall, we will begin releasing the next round of songs.”

Artist shared few words about this song:

"This song is a reminder that even when life is shitty you can still find the good. It was written at a tough time in my life and has served as that reminder since then. My hope is that it touches people and a positive way and reminds them that they can always find the beauty in life if they look for it. It was inspired heavily by Kali Uchis, Mac Miller and Tyler The Creator. Specifically the song "After The Storm" by Tyler and Kali as you can tell by the drums I made. I wrote, produced and recorded this song in my bedroom so I'm so excited for it to be out in the world. If you decide to share it I will send all my fans, family and friends to your playlist! Thank you and have a wonderful day!"

Just Before the Light (aka Hang On!) is an upbeat song about never giving up and always believing that thing are going to get better.

Major Spark is Mark Goodman and producer Brian Charles. Their debut album Beautiful Noise is a stirring amalgam of garage rock, power pop, psychedelia, and synth-drenched textural soundscapes, all lovingly detailed, sturdily composed, and immediately catchy. Mark and Brian used drum loops and improvisational techniques to break free of their solid backgrounds producing dozens of indie rock albums.

Mark previously formed Magnet in 1995 when Moe Tucker from the Velvet Underground agreed to dust off her drums from the VU European reunion tour to record a full length titled Don’t Be a Penguin (PC Music/ADA). Mark also teamed with other talented musicians such as David Lowery (Cracker, Camper van Beethoven), Matt Wilson (Trip Shakespeare), and Steve Steve Schiltz (Longwave) for subsequent Magnet releases. Brian Charles is the owner of Zippah Recording Studio where he has produced and engineered excellent artists including Chad Stokes (Dispatch), The Sheila Divine, and Weakened Friends.

Major Spark aims to bring a positive vibe with lyrics that are plainspoken, sharp-witted, and instantly memorable. But there’s more to Major Spark than catchy melodies, and “Beautiful Noise,” the title track from the group’s debut, combines a classic EDM beat with vintage guitars and keys with vocals that pay homage to Hope Sandoval and James Murphy. Brian’s production on the track is spellbinding, wholly immersive, and marvelously moody. Goodman’s sense of play producing the videos shines through. For “Beautiful Noise,” director Roger Metcalf blended studio moments with female circus artists performing high above the ground, radiating grace and power with every move.

Bruce Sudano’s career has spanned decades and genres, working with Tommy James; rocking with Alive N Kickin’ and Brooklyn Dreams; writing hit songs for Donna Summer, Michael Jackson, and Dolly Parton. He even started up Purple Heart Recording Company to support the next generation of musicians. Even the pandemic did not stop this hit-making machine; instead, it fueled his creative vision and drive to achieve greatness. He donned the name “Super Bruce” for his ability to stay positive through some of life’s biggest hardships. He utilizes that persona to inspire listeners that anything is possible, so long as you believe in yourself.

Nightingales vividly represent beauty, melody, and tranquility, all components that make up Bruce Sudano. You could say a nightingale is his spirit animal – after all, the bird is known for its enchanting tunes. Bruce Sudano honors the scruffy bird in his latest track, “Ode to a Nightingale,” a breezy collection of guitar strums, bumping drums, and maraca shakes that soar above the daily routine. The music video is also unique and may suggest that Bruce Sudano may be entering a new era creatively. The video does not feature his classic cut-out animation style but instead is a mature and abstract visual with punchy colors and warping shapes. The video captures the free-spirited folk nature of the single, bringing viewers to a peaceful state of mind in the chaos of our everyday lives.

Like the morning glory flower, love grows in its full potential, as a new sunrise, but one can never know the course of its own life – how long will love last and if or when it will end in its own sunset. the song is inspired by the Morning Glory climbing shrub that grows in Sparx’s garden in his countryside home. touched by the delict beauty of the blossoming flower as nature awakes from its winter sleep into spring, that is filled with potential as a new starting point for all. In the song the Morning Glory flower is a delicate symbol of love that forever holds the memory of a purple breezy spring for as far as eye can reach the sky. This song is Jerome’s 3rd released single taken from his upcoming debut album. In this song Jerome displays his take about love, a love who knows no boundaries.
