Happy happy release day to Kirsten Ludwig, whose new album ‘Sunbeam’ is out TODAY!! 🎂🎂🎂

Kirsten made this wonderful video for ‘On The Outside’ and writes, "While travelling in Japan, I wanted to document my surroundings: nature, landscapes, buildings, and the occasional silly moment. When I feel particularly detached from myself or others, I tend to focus on my external environment–so it felt suitable that the video was grounded in exploring how my inner world is reflected through outer experiences."

On The Outside - video by Kirsten Ludwig and Edmund Teh

Jolie Laide’s new song ‘Move Away Towns’ is out today!! Watch their wonderful new video to go along with the song, directed by Clinton St. John.

https://youtu.be/S1dCRs0yzp8?si=Ll8ZzTvT1lpm21fh

Nina Nastasia says about the song, “Flim Flammers getting away with whatever they can get away with drifting through deserts on their own time as Nomads in a romantic world might seem like absolute freedom. Outside of Hollywood these grifters might feel the sadness and loneliness of not being attached to any place, thing or person. No scenario is perfect. Move Away Towns captures the moments of blissful freedom before the dust inevitably settles and what was once excitement and ease turns to dullness, resentment and hard work.”

‘Move Away Towns’ is out on streaming services now, and please pre-order the record/vinyl over on Bandcamp!

Jolie Laide's new song ‘Why I Drink’ is out today! https://youtu.be/aB_GPOcAvJY?si=etUooaDWuUNShpRZ

Nina Nastasia says about the song, “No one likes to feel bad; although, there’s a comfort in sadness or even being locked in an unhealthy pattern if these things are familiar. Avoiding pain altogether is hard work. I don’t think it’s possible if a person still wants to feel happiness. All things do eventually catch up and come into consciousness. I’ve never gone through the struggle of addiction myself, but I do know why I drink.”

‘Why I Drink’ is out on streaming services now, and please pre-order the record/vinyl over on Bandcamp! https://found.ee/WhyIDrink
