Anna Fox Rochinski (of Psych indie rock band Quilt) has shared a new single titled “No Better.” It is the latest single released from her upcoming debut solo album, “Cherry”, which will be out on March 26th via Don Giovanni. 

Carlos Hernandez and Julian Fader (both of Ava Luna) produced Cherry. “Everybody’s Down.” It is the third single to be released from her upcoming album, Rochinski speaks about the concept behind the song in a press release: “‘Everybody’s Down’ is a song that’s meant to be a little abstract but is generally about feeling run down and bewildered by rampant complicity during catastrophic times. ‘Everybody’s Down’, including you and me. And yes, also, ‘down’ like bummed, if that speaks to you. And yes, also ‘down’ as in, just casually down to do something, like, down to go grab food with your homies or whatever. It’s a triple entendre. We all feel all of these things every day. It’s a lot. Literally all I can do anymore to stay sane is have a sense of humour and laugh at stuff. I am so much less randomly sentimental than I used to be, but I think it’s because I have learned what really deserves my love and attention.”

She adds: “There was a primordial version of this song that I brought in to [album producers] Carlos [Hernandez] and Julian [Fader], but in the studio, we would visit it at the end of the night after all our serious work was done and throw stuff at the wall to see what would stick. It was like a way to release tension, and we didn’t take it very seriously. We made this minimal, weird, scuzzy instrumental with bass, guitar, synth and programmed drums, and I then took this raw creation home and worked out the structure and the melody and lyrics. In the end, I fell in love with this song, much to my surprise.”

Quilt’s most recent album, Plaza, came out in 2016 on Mexican Summer.

nadine oh my

Collaborative projects maintained from a distance are rather commonplace in today’s musical climate, but few retain the intimacy and ingenuity of nadine.  the three-piece is the creative byproduct of Nadia Hulett, part of the collective phantom posse, and Julian Fader and Carlos Hernandez, both of  Ava Luna.  though spread out across the country in different cities at different times, the trio linked up outside of Austin to cut oh my, an effortless, adventurous pop exercise in the form of a debut album.

Here to remind us that music is not just an audible experience, Minneapolis / New York’s Nadine make melodies that transcend acoustics. Their debut album Oh My is collection of sophisticated modern pop songs that resonate in the gaps, the space between deadlines and timelines. More akin to poetry set to music, Nadine is all about exploring feeling. Whilst most poets revel in the personal, Nadine’s process is collaborative whose core is singer Nadia Hulett (part of the loose collective Phantom Posse) and Julian Fader and Carlos Hernandez .

The trio’s practice is marked by their commitment to playfulness, curiosity, and fluidity. Nadine’s songs have one foot standing firm in pop, but ebb and flow with exploration and experiment. Recorded over two years in Gravesend Studios in Brooklyn, NY and Dripping Springs in Austin, TX. Polyphonic melodies swing and gambol, instrumental layers take generous flourishes and unexpected turns with an ear to the wondrous and occasionally weird, crafting jazz-tinged lounge-pop all held together by Hulett’s characteristic vocals, strong with a sincerity and gentleness that holds the listener.

nadine’s debut is out today via father/daughter in the united states and memphis industries everywhere else.
