Curly Q Bb

Lipphead is a production duo consisting of producers Blockhead and Eliot Lipp. Together they create playful instrumental hip hop creations that traverse wide musical territories.

Releasing via Michigan label Young Heavy Souls, the duo has crafted a truly individual sonic aesthetic that benefits from the significant wealth of musical talent and experience they both bring to the project.

Illustrated by artist Maddie Chaffer, the titular Lipphead character serves as the group’s mascot and as a tongue-in-cheek personification of the duo’s fused styles.

"On "The Squirrel from Ipanema", there was a subtle Astrud Gilberto vibe, so we leaned into that. Eliot took what was a fairly organic, sample-based mid-tempo track and spun it into a dope synthy electronic type thing. That process is really what this whole album is."

- Blockhead

"The Squirrel From Ipanema '' is first taste from the full length Lipphead album “In The Nude” due for release via Young Heavy Souls June 24th, and set to be available on digital, cassette, and vinyl formats.

Primer is the alias and creative project of vocalist/producer Alyssa Midcalf.

With her debut album, Novelty, Midcalf showcases her skills as both a vocalist and songwriter. The sound of the album, which was composed heavily on a Roland Juno synthesizer, is characterized by driving drum beats, sub-heavy bass lines and shimmering synth leads. Midcalf’s vocals are airy yet dynamic, binding her songs together with a reverberating surrealism. To see these elements on full display, look no further than her haunting cover of The Beach Boys song Til I Die. 

Partly inspired by the indie time travel film of the same name, Midcalf says she was also drawn to the sense of futurism the word Primer invokes. This is fitting with the tone of her debut album, which brings to mind images of a dystopian disco. 
 
Midcalf, who gained some attention as one half of the duo Parts, made her introduction as Primer with the single Anesthetized, released on YHS Records in 2018. Her full album, Novelty, is set to be released on YHS Records on March 1st, 2019.
