Roosevelt Bio

Electronic artist Roosevelt has shared his single, the anthemic ‘Ordinary Love’, which is also his debut release on Ninja Tune’s Counter Records imprint.

Roosevelt, is the artist moniker for Marius Lauber. The German producer, instrumentalist, vocalist and DJ’s kaleidoscopic new track weaves together funky bass, shoegaze-leaning guitars, vibrant synths and a stadium-sized chorus, with the psychedelic fusion combining to transcendent effect.

“I wanted to create some kind of urgency that resembles the euphoria of a new love, with all its bliss but also the uncertainty that comes with it,” he says of the track. 

Having left his studio in Cologne in search of new inspiration, the track was written in an isolated cabin in the Elysian Heights of Los Angeles.

Layering many synths together, Roosevelt originally called the single ‘Wall Of Sound’ when he was working on the initial demo. Sonically, the idea of the sound of the sirens, which are played on a vintage Prophet 5, came as he wanted to “create an underlying feeling of instability.

“It worked out as a great contrast to the melodic chords,” Roosevelt adds, “as there's always a slight disharmony going on throughout the track”.

The Buttertones Bio

The Buttertones are a Los Angeles-based cult rock band. The group has built a loyal fan base via their atmospheric live shows and cinematic catalog. From 2017’s Gravedigging, 2018’s Midnight In A Moonless Dream, and 2020’s Jazzhound, the band has left lasting impressions at Coachella, Tropicalia, When We Were Young, and beyond. The group consists of members Richard Araiza (vocals/guitar), Modesto Cobian (lead guitar), Mimi Nissan (keys/guitar/bg vocals), Karly Low (bass/bg vocals), Carlos Sanchez (tenor sax), and Brandon Galindo (drums/bg vocals).

SWMRS BIO

SWMRS is a band of brothers from California. Formed by singer/guitarists Max and Cole Becker when they were barely teenagers, the band has cultivated a dedicated fanbase over the years with their punk-inflected sound, catchy songs, and explosive live show. In the fifteen years they’ve been active the group has undergone various lineup changes, but when their younger brother Cade joined on bass in 2022, something transformed: the brotherhood of the members was no longer incidental, but essential. For SWMRS now, family is everything – and you’re invited to join theirs.

About:

slenderbodies makes music that feels familiar yet unique as well as hushed yet
impactful. The Line Of Best Fit proclaimed that slenderbodies
“conjure an immersive world” with their “genre-blurring” music, while Complex
has described their songs as “subtle but infectious,” and Billboard praised their
“intimacy” and “daring.”
The next year, the pair returned with a second EP, and signed ‘fabulist’ to Majestic
Casual records. Their career was truly set in motion as lead single “anemone” currently
garners more than 90 million plays across
platforms.
Max & Benji followed up with two EPs, ‘fabulist extended’ and ‘soraya’ which brought
them to their 2019 debut album, ‘komorebi’ released via Avant Garden. Recorded in the
woods of Mendocino, CA over 2 weeks in late 2018, the pair delved into concepts of life
& death, and what it means to be the truest version of yourself. The album was released
to critical acclaim in fall of 2019, with songs like ‘belong’, ‘moods’ and ‘arrival’ earning
the album over 60 million streams across platforms.
As the covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020, the pair returned to creating music remotely and
released ‘are we?’, which included collaborations with Crooked Colours, Tim Atlas and
Joey Pecoraro. The album was their final release with Avant Garden as the duo parted
ways and began to write their next release, which would become ‘simple shapes’, a 16
song full length record released in mid 2022 through Independent.
Throughout their 7 years of activity, the duo has since shared the stage with the likes of
Eden, Louis the Child, Poolside, Gothbabe, Big Gigantic (at Red Rocks), Still Woozy,
Half-Alive, Passion Pit, PVRIS, Milky Chance. Max & Benji have also played choice
festivals such as Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Life is Beautiful, Electric Forest,
Okeechobee, Hulaween, Hangout, Lightning in a Bottle, Live Out. They have also
embarked on sold out headline tours for ‘komorebi’ and ‘simple shapes’.
Now, slenderbodies returns and invites you to immerse yourself in their fourth album,
“the sugar machine” out this september. The indie pop duo, comprised of Max Vehuni
and Benji Cormack, have spent the last two years exploring the wistfulness of lost
youth, and the fleeting moments we pursue to try to feel innocent euphoria again. Dive
into an energetic, euphoric and nostalgic new sound as the pair stretch their roots
beyond the breezy, silky grooves of their original catalog.
Enter “the sugar machine” and give yourself to the highs and lows of your own
nostalgia, dream up some old dreams, and escape into the music
