The sound of strumming guitars; the feel of soft, wet clay; the scent of fresh brewed coffee: this was Zella Day’s childhood. Secluded in the quaint mountain town of Pinetop, Arizona, Zella’s creativity flourished with the forest at her doorstep. High above Phoenix Valley, Pinetop holds a population of 7,000, and Zella's family-owned Mor Mor Coffee House was an only sanctuary for artists. Surrounding herself with local musicians, Zella was inspired to pick up the guitar at a young age. Before long, the blossoming chanteuse started performing sets including Bob Dylan and Elvis songs - selections inspired by her coffee house family. The native Arizonan had found a calling in music and used it as a form of self-realization, penning her experiences and discovering herself through the intricacies of song. She drew inspiration from the serene Arizona mountains and turned to Clint Eastwood, old Western films, and cowboy rebel culture to help shape the attitude behind her music. The result is a raw, organic sound unconfined by the boundaries of genre. It effortlessly floats between the tonalities of female frontier-maker Stevie Nicks and art pop songbird Lana Del Rey while invoking imagery painted by Old Arizona and a free-spirited perspective.

To date, Zella Day’s music has barely crossed paths with the outside world; however, her short series of self-released demos and collaborations caught fire throughout the indie community. One such supporter of her undeniable talent was the boutique music press outlet B3SCI. Having recently formed a singles record imprint, B3SCI was undoubtedly the natural home for the songwriter's first official offering to the world.

The upcoming two-track single leads with “Sweet Ophelia,” a blending of personal encounters in an eerie resemblance to that of Hamlet’s Ophelia. Crunching drum machines and menacing electronics juxtapose Zella’s airy croons as she sings about the sanctity of physical connection, powerfully portraying both the majesty and fragility of letting love consume you. The B-side, “1965,” takes a more straightforward approach, showcasing Zella’s strong voice atop soft, pattering drums and fluttering guitars. The lyrics tell a story about finding a genuine connection among a sea of inauthenticity. Moreover, the track celebrates its title - the year that a generation united despite a delusive society.

On April 7th, B3SCI Records will release 'Sweet Ophelia / 1965' on limited edition 7-inch clear vinyl. The tracks were brought to life at Los Angeles's WAX LTD. Studios with the production and mixing prowess of Xandy Barry and Wally Gagel. This debut collection showcases a young songstress’ visceral visions and liberated mentality, while foreshadowing the depth of a long career that's yet to come.

______________________________________________

I wanna fall
but every time you leave me down on the floor
Memories keep rushing round
cause nothing ever stays the same

Cause maybe I’m 
just addicted to
the things I lack
and the way you move
in circles run
round a figure eight
always running off
meeting up in the same place

slow down 
pick up the pieces I’ve found
we’re living our lives half asleep
living our lives half asleep

Cause I wanna go 
where everything’s the same
Memories keep rushing round
and all we do is change
Cause I wanna fall 
but every time you leave me down on the floor
picturing the ways we move
cause nothing ever stays the same

Separate a fragile spine
a hollow hope
just to make things right
I’ve been picking up pieces slowly 
and wondering why you hold me 
take me back to the way it was before

Cause I wanna go 
where everything’s the same
Memories keep rushing round
and all we do is change
Cause I wanna fall 
but every time you leave me down on the floor
picturing the ways we move
cause nothing ever stays the same

Strange enough, I don’t love you like you want me to.
Strange enough, I don’t love you like you want me to.

Cause I wanna go 
where everything’s the same
Memories keep rushing round
and all we do is change
Cause I wanna fall 
but every time you leave me down on the floor
picturing the ways we move
cause nothing ever stays the same

You keep walking on my sunny days
Skies were blue now they're all cloudy
And I try to find a better ground
But somehow you bring me down 
-
I don't know what you've been looking for
You said I had something so much more than anyone you once adored
And you should have figured this out by now
You play games boy Tetris block you out
-
You keep walking on my sunny days
Skies were blue now they're all cloudy
And I try to find a better ground
But somehow you bring me down you

You keep walking on my sunny days
Skies were blue now they're all cloudy
And I try to find a better ground
But you keep silent I keep trying
-
You don't know what you've been looking for
Maybe you're used to someone you ignore
Tail beneath your legs you shut me out
Hope that someday all those lies work out
Yeah go get what you deserve

CHORUS

And the silence it's been trying 
And the silence it's been trying
You keep walking just go walking you keep walking 
On my sunny days 
My sunny days

CHORUS

A Different Sun

‘It won’t take long for B.Miles’ incredibly genuine vocal range to impress you, and for that reason, we believe she could become widely acclaimed very quickly’ – Hilly Dilly

Following on from ‘Nine Matches’, her acclaimed debut of earlier this year, dark pop artist B. Miles announces the release of her sophomore single, ‘Shaking Hands’ on 13th July.

The L.A.-based singer has described her latest track as ‘a twisted version of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"’: a more complex take on the classic fable that’s perfectly in keeping with her atmospheric sound. Miles’ lyrical inspiration comes from the likes of Nick Cave and Tom Waits, and this is evident throughout. 

The track’s production certainly matches her songwriting too, opening with distorted bass, minimal percussion and stuttering guitar lines. As the sound on the chorus opens up, B. Miles artfully demonstrates the impact of her soulful vocal in its higher range – a talent that was already abundantly clear on ‘Nine Matches’ and prompted praise from Q Magazine.

The young artist first crafted her songwriting in Miami, attempting to forge an identity which captured ‘the essence of melancholy and yearning, while finding beauty in the sadness and pain that all of us carry inside’. 

Though also striving to remain true to a pop aesthetic, she is determined to succeed on her own terms, having spent years gigging mercilessly up and down L.A.’s Sunset Strip in order to refine her sound.

The recent charting of ‘Nine Matches’ on The Hype Machine saw this sound compared to the likes of London Grammar and Banks, inspiring a solid foundation of fans. And in gaining the support of production duo Noise Club, best known for their work with Wild Belle and the Spin Magazine-approved Quigley, B. Miles seems to have struck on a sound that promises much for the future.

Sleep On It

‘B.Miles is set to turn heads with her angelic voice’– Earmilk

With previous singles ‘Nine Matches’ and ‘Shaking Hands’ both charting high on the Hype Machine, dark pop artist B. Miles returns with her new single, ‘Salt’, on 24th August.

Brimming with bluesy riffs and percussive clicks, bathed in her signature soulful vocals, ‘Salt’ - which was co-written with Eric Nizgretsky of indie rock group Loose Buttons - is as lyrically evocative as it is melodically sublime.

The Los Angeles native says of her new track: “When we were recording "Salt" in New York City, I began getting really homesick for L.A., and as a result, I really wanted this song to remind me of home. On top of that, I had these second degree burns all over my arms and hands at the time. Lyrically, I just imagined salt being poured into the wounds.”

An artist whose talents have already been praised by the likes of Earmilk, Hilly Dilly and Q Magazine, and prompted comparisons to London Grammar and Banks, B. Miles first crafted her songwriting in Miami, aiming to capture ‘the essence of melancholy and yearning, while finding beauty in the sadness and pain that all of us carry inside’.

Partnered with the atmospheric electronics of production duo Noise Club, best known for their work with Wild Belle and the Spin Magazine-approved Quigley, this young act has now developed a powerful sound that honours a pop aesthetic whilst retaining a bold originality.  

‘Salt’ will feature alongside her previous two previous singles on her forthcoming EP ‘twenty fifteen’, which is set to hit all digital stores soon. With a growing host of admirers, B. Miles as a true ‘one to watch’ this year.

they say: "sit in the sun enough,
your hair's gonna lighten up"
it's true

I drove to silverlake and parked my car 
ran around the reservoir 
found proof

now everyday is summertime 
los angeles if you'll be mine 
then I'll stay lonely only for you

meet me on the east side 
we can taste the sweet life 
silver screens 
take it to the west side 
breaking in the best high 
vitamin D til we bleed 
my daddy always warned that the saddest songs are major keys 
hallelujah california

so come kick it down on saturn's rings
observatory empty wings with me

then we'll roll to origami record night 
talk about our vinyl lives 
Emily lends a beat
for all the cherry cola pin up queens, 
boulevard of broken dreams 
it's fucked up as seen on tv

meet me on the east side 
we can taste the sweet life 
silver screens 
take it to the west side 
breaking in the best high 
vitamin D til we bleed 
my daddy always warned that the saddest songs are major keys 
hallelujah California
