Montalvo - Colle [TRU008]

New York, NY – Colle, the creative alias of experimental musician Maya McGrory, debuts her solo album 'Montalvo' on urtruimage.

Inspired by her childhood memories of Montalvo Rd., this compelling collection of songs offers a profound exploration of McGrory's past, and presents a narrative of multiple lives lived at once. The contrasting landscapes of her life provide a backdrop for her music, allowing her to find solace in the innocence and simplicity of childhood. Emphasising the ephemeral nature of life, she embraces a flow that reflects the worries of her past and the allure of even the harshest conditions.

Her album invites listeners into immersive emotional landscapes; characterised by expansive glacial synths and strings, while trip-hop and shoegaze-inspired beats push her music into an experimental realm of electronic indie-rock, all enhanced by her sincere and captivating vocal delivery.

What began as a return to a specific time in her life evolved into a journey back to traditional songwriting, reimagined into an experimental vision during the production of Montalvo. For Colle, the process is less about distance and more about rediscovery—reclaiming the innocence and wonder that continue to influence her today.

Angel Eyes - Void [TRU001]

Traversing feelings of fear, lust and the inexplicable desire to continue a love affair we know won't work, 'Angel Eyes reworks 'Pop Goes My Heart' by Hugh Grant into a nostalgic fragment of experimental pop. The music weaves together DJ Pitch's expansive sonic vocabulary and compositional tendencies the Sadie Virgo's wistful, longing vocals.

YCHIA [TRU009]

London-based producer DJ Pitch returns with YCHIA — a dreamlike and emotionally rich EP on urtruimage, featuring longtime collaborator Organ Tapes. Built around a soft balearic downtempo title track, the release explores digital heartbreak through three reinterpretations: an Extended Mix, Guitar Mix and a standout remix by Madrid’s Loyalty XIX. Inspired by the spirit of classic 12"s and CD-single releases, each version offers a distinct lens. From ambient stretches to guitar textures and fragmented glitch-dance, transforming the original into something intimate, expansive and deeply collaborative.
