One Man Show

Everybody knows a man in every little town
His curtain rises as the sun goes down 
You’re just the big-top man waiting for your cue
Give the world a laugh that’s all we expect from you 

Everybody knows 
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know 
Gather round for the one-man show 

He’s so quick and fearless they say 
Nothing gets under your skin much these days  
Always have quip or a clever turn of phrase 
Ready on your tongue to lighten the weight 

I came to your side again
Just like the last time you couldn’t hold it in 
Always got the last word in always run the show 
Your eyes as wide as a thief just had to let me go 

Everybody knows 
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know 
Gather round for the one-man show 

Now Houdini’s in the graveyard and the dogs howl at the moon
I hear a flash of lightning I guess that means your passing through
My old friend who had all the lines
We both know living can be the harder life 

Everybody knows 
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know 
Gather round for the one-man show

Everybody knows 
You’re the one-man show
No ticket needed I know 
Gather round for the one-man show

Limited edition 7" vinyl single for release on B3SCI Records on February 18, 2014.   Record release show is that night at Bootleg Bar LA, tickets: http://foldsilverlake.com/show.cfm?id=136226

Preorder: http://b3scirecords.bigcartel.com/product/b3sr-003-misun-travel-with-me-sleep

Misun (pronounced 'me•sun') is undeniably energetic and catchy. The band transcends traditional pop as they effortlessly blend 60's rock & roll nostalgia with hip-hop, dance and a touch of spaghetti western. Misun have self-proclaimed their sound as Aquawave. However Misun's sound is defined, their deft exploration of sonics and style makes their catalog multidimensional (and at times unpredictable) while their music always remains cohesive and timeless.

By way of Washington DC, the Los Angeles based four-piece is comprised of vocalist and namesake Misun Wojcik, bassist William Devon, guitarist and producer Nacey and drummer Jon Jester. The group initially met working at a restaurant, and it wasn't long before they began exploring their musical vices. Their debut EP "The Sea" was released in the summer of 2012 on T&A Records. Misun have since cultivated their fan base organically -- through a series of self-released digital singles in 2013.

In 2014 Misun release a new limited edition 7" single via B3SCI Records. This AA-side single is not only the bands first release on vinyl, but it serves as a next frontier for the grand landscape of their ideas and sound, revealing an edgier, ambitious vision of the future. The songs on the release were recorded in Silverlake, Los Angeles with the help the co-production and engineering prowess of Mad Decent hitmaker Derek Allen.

On Side A is “Travel With Me", a forward thinking pop-fashioned song of elusive international origin. Its catchy sing-along lyrics venture the ironic tribulations of love and friendship. The band describes it as a song about being close with someone, and as time passes, the pain that comes growing apart from them, along with the joy of keeping their memories. On the flip side of the 7", "Sleep" is explained by singer Misun Wojcik as, “about waking up in the middle of the night after a really good dream and realizing it's not your reality. And being unable to fall back asleep because you're afraid you're wasting your time dreaming instead of creating the reality that you desire. More or less, it's a song about telling yourself to wake up and take a look at your life and to do the things that you want with it. It's also about love and needing someone to share and understand this realization with.”

Misun sustain a chord of excitement throughout the tastemaker blogosphere and radio, with early champions including Pitchfork, KCRW, NPR, Fader, Stereogum and numerous #1 hits on the influential Hype Machine. The new AA-side single from Misun finds a creative cohesion as it expands what the group has previously accomplished, taking a meaningful first step in 2014 towards a most defining year.

Naturally
the pink sun came up and i started to cry
five billion year old fire in my eyes
she kisses the sea goodbye like you and i
but now take a look at my world
of all the boys and the girls, you’re the friend
i keep running through my memories to find again
and you come naturally to me
someone so beautiful coming so easily
five billion zombies roaming the street
i can’t touch them, they can’t reach out and touch me
and you know sacrifices must be made to get high
so i’m taking my time
i’d like to tell you the truth, that i need you to come tonight
but i wont even try
you come naturally to me
and both the pleasure and the pain had a hand in it
and all the bodies and the souls understand it

Taken from the debut album 'Zhala' available to pre-order now http://smarturl.it/zhalaitunes?IQid=soundcloud

Zhala has been announced the first signing to https://soundcloud.com/robyn’s Konichiwa Records. Prophet is the title track from her debut EP, out now:

iTunes: http://smarturl.it/prophetitunes?IQid=soundcloud
Spotify: http://spoti.fi/1jQkF5w

Find out more about Zhala here:

https://twitter.com/z_h_a_l_a

Zhala's haunting and evocative melodies are packed with a serious punch, full of thought-provoking lyrics and undeniable hooks. Using Stockholm as her base, but with the mindset of a modern day transnational, Zhala’s music is futuristic, labeled by the artist herself as “cosmic pop.”

Zhala (Rifat) was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. She became very involved in the local art and club scene and further developed her talents as an artist through dance, singing and her live shows. This path eventually led to her being signed to Konichiwa Records in 2012.

While recording the music for her first release, Zhala continued to tour - playing several festivals (Bestival, Isle of Wight, Way Out West), a unique performance at the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at Stockholm’s Moderna Museet, and most recently, opening slots for Robyn in London, Berlin and Stockholm. The darkly epic track Slippin’ Around emerged online at the start of 2012 with a creepily striking video, alerting the likes of My Old Kentucky Blog, Discobelle and The	 Line of Best Fit that there was a new and unusual popstar about to emerge.

City of Hearts
I felt that I was half alive
I counted 24, 25
I wanted,
I wanted not to be lonely but still alone
Walking slowly but nearing home
I wanted
I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes
 
You’d say that it was true to form
I was wishing hard for a storm
I wanted,
I wanted to see storm clouds rushing by
In a dark, brooding, stormy sky
I wanted, I wanted
 
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
I have always wondered why
In this old city of hearts
What is young we tear apart
Won’t you open up our eyes

Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

Purchase "Awake": shop.iso50.com/collections/awake

formats:
CD/LP/DIGITAL

Design and layout by Scott Hansen
Photography by Reuben Wu

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

Spectre

I've got something that you should know.
Let's go follow the sun.
Each time I tell you I love you so,
I want to go off, Wandering In Your Mind.

I'm just Wandering In Your Mind

I'd crawl to find what you feel for me.
Climb mountains of thoughts.
Living ain't what it used to be.

Yeah I'm just Wandering In Your Mind

Senses fail way too easily.
Smell and taste are but gone.
But when I feel you are near to me,
Feeling doesn't run.

I'm just Wandering In Your Mind
