This duo is Frank Joshua, a singer-songwriter with open honest sound weaving melancholic vibes, and Jon Kennedy, a producer keen on everything trip-hop.

The EP begins with "Major Jones", a beautiful opener that tells the tale of Major Jones, a scientist, composer and designer, sailing in outer space, looking for the one he created and sent out into the cosmos all those years ago... Major Tom. | Continue reading
"I wrote Baby Me to give our younger selves the voices we didn’t have. We’ve all become wrapped up in societal pressures, overly self-critical and overwhelmed with life. It’s so easy to take it out on ourselves. But remember how innocent and pure we once were. Would you treat the … | Continue reading
Call in Dead is always the lightest band on a metal show and the heaviest band on a punk show, and this album really conveys that. The fact that even with families and full-time jobs these guys are still able to pull out great music like this is mind blowing. So, you better pay y … | Continue reading
London’s Videotapes. That wasn’t an intentional sentence, but kind of was. The band’s name has a period at the end of it. Videotapes. Was that one on purpose? You’ll never know. The start and stops of my sentences are almost metaphoric in nature to the band’s unconventionally tim … | Continue reading

"Superstardom’ is an invitation to unlock your unique potential unapologetically and fight the self-sabotage attitude arising from society's paralysing pressure.

"One day my friend Nathan (Dubxilla) told me he wanted to write a song about Buddy Holly and Lubbock, TX, where we live, with the title of "Buddy Hollywood.". I thought it was a good idea, then went home to write the chorus/hook part. I recorded it and created a simple beat and s … | Continue reading
"All I can say is that I hope this resonates with you somehow, the tone is frequently dark, the music is a result of my mental state, my well-being, or un-well-being. It depends on how you read into it." Oliver Mavilio | Continue reading
"Aurelia is about introspection, but also celebration! I think that, because I’ve made some really dark music, that my persona is rather morose, and that the songs aren’t meant to be listened to in times of joy." Aurelia | Continue reading
"The End Of The Ride" is their newest single and it holds within a hypnotizing selection of warm synth melodies, minimal rhythmical textures, and soft ethereal vocals.

"You know when you feel like a circus animal that’s being chased around the ring, trying to escape the Ringmaster’s notorious whip? It feels like a giant storm is building up around and inside you, that is about to break loose with full force … This song is not about that." | Continue reading
"This song is really special to me because it was actually the song that made me decide to pursue my dream of being "PiPEllA", a rockstar/fantasy character.

The End is all about overthinking. It whipsaws between sections like one might during a moment of panic, then crests a wave of energy and emotion before crashing down to a satisfying end. Strangely enough, this song is as close as we could possibly get to a mission statement: hig … | Continue reading
The tracks that come in the album are "Say Anything", "LaRusso", and "Sailor Girl". All of which deliver uplifting melodies and danceable rhythms, with vocals that remind me of The National without the melancholy! | Continue reading
"The song is essentially about feeling like you are always chasing things that are beyond your reach - no matter what you do that bird always seems to escape your grasp and mock your desperation, but you keep going because you have hope. Some of it is also a realisation that desp … | Continue reading
