L.A. based collaborative project of Chelsea Hope Ray and Be Hussey. They merge heavy guitar textures with synth drone like keys overlapped with ethereal vocals on their debut album “Embers”  which was released last week.

Gin Wigmore has announced her forth studio album, Beautiful Mess, marking her first full-length release in eight years.

“Foreign Tongues”, due out in July. Album features contributions from Paul McCartney, Robert Smith (The Cure), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), and Steve Winwood. It will also feature the final song to be recorded with Charlie Watts prior to his death.

Dinosaur L, Loose Joints, and Indian Ocean are all pseudonyms of musician Arthur Russell. His number one instrument was cello, but he was involved in early disco and then electronic sounds. When doing my homework I found this interesting snippet.
In 1976 he was in discussion to join Talking Heads, who were a trio at the time. He recorded an acoustic version of the song "Psycho Killer" with the band, playing cello. He would also collaborate on arrangements for early Talking Heads songs. He stated that they became friends but he "ended up not joining the band. They were all from art school and were into looking severe and cool. I was never into that. I was from music school and I had long hair at the time.”

Radiohead credited Remain in Light as a major influence on their own fourth studio album “Kid A” and their guitarist Jonny Greenwood had assumed it was composed of loops, but learnt from Jerry Harrison that Talking Heads had instead recorded themselves playing the parts repetitively. Greenwood said: "And that's why it's not exhausting to listen to because you're not hearing the same piece of music over and over again. You're hearing it slightly different every time and maybe there's a lesson there”.
