Fired Up! feat. Obama and Childs

Ghosha & Tao - ORIGINAL FACE represents the new wave revival in her purest form. Recorded between 1985 and 1991, Ghosha’s vocals and Tao’s guitars sat shelved for over 35 years, and at long last are enjoying a postmodern formulation for their worldwide premiere.  Original Face subtly and subconsciously completes what was missing from the era, reimagined for the present moment; “original face” is a Buddhist concept where subject and object are one.

With influences ranging from quintessential freestyle, electro, and house, to classic rock, synthpop, and back again through the classical repertoire, New York native Robert Cotnoir has honed a sound that is at once both comforting and familiar, pensive and nuanced, all while being undoubtedly of the times.

Eight Days Across America: An album made for the turntable.

GRAPEFRUIT SOUND LAB - LIMITED EDITION LP - A COLLECTOR'S MUST-HAVE!

Robert Cotnoir of Grapefruit Sound Lab teams up with the #1 Billboard recording artist Amuka, the incomparable Sarah Naughton and NYC's battle-tested punk rocker Gina Volpe of "Lunachicks" fame for a collection of new songs for the times. "Eight Days Across America" is an album for playing through both before and after a night out, and is at once an album for staying home with friends during troubled times.  Including the Billboard chart-topping single "Don't Fall For It" and the hauntingly poignant "Dum Dum Gun", this work presents a rich and diverse style and sound that does not disappoint.

This album is made for vinyl.
