Real Places

Sorrow’s only silver lining is the selflessness it inspires in others. The nightmare of last year’s fire in Oakland left so many of us shredded, shattered, and speechless. But a communal compassion surged up in response, with artists, allies, and acquaintances from all over the globe re-connecting and re-committing to the power and potential of independent music as a healing, unifying force. So many SILK friends and family reached out expressing the desire to contribute creatively to a relief effort it was clear the emotion deserved an outlet. Silk To Dry The Tears collects 31 such songs from a spectrum of 100% Silk alumni and affiliates, threaded across four sides of fogged house, fantasy acid, nocturnal electronics, sleepwalker pop, and rhythmic reveries of varied internal states. Totaling nearly 170 minutes, it’s a sprawl and a statement, shared in the spirit of inclusion, endurance, and empathy. Music brought us together; music will keep us together.
 
50% the profits will be donated to Safer DIY Spaces, an Oakland-based coalition offering guidance, financial assistance, and labor to non-traditional creative community spaces : diysafetygroup.org

Tickle Torture - Psychic Playmate

Raised as the son of a Baptist pastor and a gospel singing mother, Tolliver grew up in the ‘wild 100s’ on the South side of Chicago – an area associated with large-scale gang wars and a sickeningly high murder rate.

He set out on his own path to LA to pursue music, and as the cliché goes he got sucked into the porn industry – namely a drummer in his old band is a producer, and gave him some editing work to fund his creative goals. By day he’s sat in his apartment editing “a lot of Mormon porn” while by night he’s a soul singer turned erotic electro R&B artist who writes songs about late night parties and anonymous sex.

You can see how this smorgasbord unusual influences and life experiences make up the artistic whole of Tolliver – upcoming EP Rites focusses on his obsession with the sacred and the profane – the guilt-ridden place where a religious childhood meets the realities of an ungodly present.

Tolliver isn’t afraid to get personal in his lyrics, with ‘I Gotchu’ addressing how trauma can help to relieve strained family relationships. He tells us "I wrote I Gotchu about my brother’s broken ass marriage. I’m not close with him anymore and his rough life circumstance gave me a chance to get closer. I love that boy.”
