What are your top five albums that were released in 2024? (In order 1-5)

  1. Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee 
  2. Kendrick Lamar - GNX
  3. Help - Courage 
  4. Tyler the Creator - Chromakopia 
  5. Kim Gordon - The Collective 

What band did you discover in 2024 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?

The artist I discovered this year was Brenda Lee. I heard the song “Sweet Nothin’s” and fell in love with vocal stylings and simplistic classic rock n' roll vibe. 

How will you remember 2024 (in terms of music)?

2024 was filled with a lot of great new music, which I found hard to keep up with. I got to see Kim Gordon with Moor Mother on their recent tour, which was a massive highlight. I made some fun music videos. 

What can we look forward to from you in 2025?

We are starting the year by releasing our new LP, Dweller. We hope to do lots of touring. My other project, Snakey Dublay will start playing out some shows. 

What records are you looking forward to most in 2025?

I am not really sure what's coming out in 2025. 

How do you try to get your news to fans as media platforms and algorithms change?

We hope for the best.
