'Somebody's Beloved' ft. Bipolar Sunshine out 10/15. Pre-save now: https://milck.lnk.to/SomebodysBeloved 

For Los Angeles-based singer and multi-instrumentalist MILCK, music is a sanctuary. In her words, “Music is the one place where I can simply be me. When I’m singing my lyrics, I don’t have to be feminine enough, strong enough, American enough, or Asian enough—I can just be a soul that yearns to feel free.” 

MILCK’s life took a 180 degree turn after a cell phone video of her performing her song “Quiet” with a choir of 25 strangers at the 2017 Women’s March went viral. Soon it was being echoed and interpreted by groups around the world, from the US to Sweden to Ghana. “Quiet” was named Billboard’s #1 protest song of the year and earned distinction as part of NPR’s “American Anthem” series. And in 2018, it brought MILCK to the March’s main stage in New York City, where she performed alongside the legendary Yoko Ono. 

Having “cemented her status as one of music’s voices for the women’s movement,” MILCK continues to use music as a means to work towards social justice. Written amidst protests for Black Lives Matter, MILCK’s timely and poignant new song “Somebody’s Beloved” (Ft. Bipolar Sunshine) chronicles the life-shattering effects of systemic racism in America. In partnership with writer/director, Tom Shadyac and his Tennessee-based non-profit, One Family Memphis Foundation, MILCK has created a deeply moving narrative video that will arrive alongside the song on October 15th.

Szjerdene's voice is both earthly in its soul and celestial in its purity: soothingly familiar, and yet unmistakably distinct. 

Her self-released debut EP ‘Patchwork EP’ dropped in 2012. After a live video performance caught the ear of Simon Green, alias Bonobo, hot on its heels followed a collaboration on his fifth studio album ‘The North Borders’. Despite embarking on an exhaustive world tour that took in 175 shows in 30 countries over the course of 18 months, she quickly amassed a second body of work, and by late 2014 she was back in the studio once again.

The result was her second EP ‘Paragon’, presented in its blissful entirety in 2015. Featuring three singles co¬-written and produced by Lapalux, it comprised six original tracks, each sequentially unveiling its own related tale of love, loss and self¬ discovery. Szjerdene’s spellbindingly pure voice and stirring melodies collide seamlessly throughout, their signature frameworks resulting in a sublime, immersive collection.

Following the release of singles ‘Restart’ and ‘Rain’ in 2019, Szjerdene bares her soul with the launch of her third solo EP ‘Trace’. Dappled in dreamy swathes of string instrumentation and Szjerdene’s innate capability to write with her heart on her sleeve, the release of her third EP ‘Trace’ is her most personal work to date – an unapologetic statement of artistic intent.

Bending the boundaries of 80s italo, synthpop, funk, and fusion, RUBBER ROSS blends analog elements with modern house and nu disco—a sound built to make you bounce. When the music hits the floor, it’s an irresistible invitation to get your body moving. Don’t forget to stretch!

Philadelphia 4-piece Arc in Round reflect a sonic sensibility garnered from endless hours of studio tracking, tweaking and sonic experimentation. The band spins out carefully crafted dark pop—taut yet spacey, noisy yet melodic. Humming bass, shuffling drums, glitchy keyboards and dissonant, pedal-treated guitar all melt together into an iridescent sheet of sonorous reduction, and you can still tap your foot to it.
