SIR SLY ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM — DON’T YOU WORRY, HONEY—OUT JUNE 30TH ON INTERSCOPE RECORDS
NEW VIDEO FOR “ASTRONAUT” AVAILABLE TODAY
“Built for large-scale sing-alongs” – Vulture
“Mind blowingly catchy” – Pop Matters
June 19th 2017—Santa Monica, CA— Sir Sly will release their sophomore album entitled Don’t You Worry, Honey – on June 30th via Interscope Records. The album will include the melodic, slow jam “Altar”, “High” –#6 at alternative radio—and Sir Sly’s latest track “Astronaut.”
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “ASTRONAUT” HERE.
“Don’t You Worry, Honey is the most intensely personal piece of work I’ve ever been a part of,” says lead singer Landon, explaining the profoundly cathartic experience that was making their new album. “Making this album gave me a safe space to come and make music with two people I appreciated more than anything. That safe space saved my life and gave me a sense of purpose and renewed verve for life. This album is an amalgamation of all feelings and the revelations that came during the process. It’s full of grief, bitterness, lightheartedness, questions I was asking myself along the way, and against all odds, joy. We worked tirelessly to make something we were proud of– something folks could sing along to, dance to, laugh along with, and something to make some folks feel less like they are alone in the world.”
The West Coast rock trio will kick off their headline tour on June 29 in Los Angeles at the El Rey and hit major cities including New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Atlanta (see full listing below). Tickets are available to the general public and can be purchased HERE.
Since forming in 2012, Sir Sly have forged their singular sound by drawing upon each member’s long-honed musical talents: Jacobs’s introspective yet infinitely searching lyricism, Suwito’s in-studio ingenuity, and Coplen’s sophisticated musicianship and sense of song-craft. Orange County natives and friends since high school, Jacobs and Coplen connected with Suwito through the local music scene. Their early collaborations yielded songs like “Ghost,” a Neon Gold release that quickly earned buzz online. After making their Cherrytree Records debut with the Gold EP in 2013, Sir Sly put out You Haunt Me (which reached #14 on Billboard’s Alternative Albums chart) in September of the following year.

“Dreamy” – The Fader
“Pure emotion– Billboard
“We wish LA Electric Guest would write a sweet song about us” – i-D
June 19th, 2017— After wrapping up a successful tour with Portugal The Man, Los Angeles based duo Asa Taccone and Matthew Compton, together known as Electric Guest, will kick off their second U.S. headlining tour of the year this fall in Las Vegas on August 30th at the Bunkhouse Saloon. The band will hit major cities such as Chicago, Portland, as well as returning to New York City after two previous sold out shows (full listing below). Tickets will go on sale Friday June 23rd at 10AM local time.
LISTEN TO “OH DEVIL”
“On the original version of ‘Oh Devil’ the chorus had some inaudible mumbling that I had sung as a joke,” frontman Asa Taccone explains, sharing the history behind the track’s new edit. “We tweaked it out and made it sound like a sample but we always wanted it to be clearer. We saw Devin Di Dakta on this Jamaican TV show called Magnum Kings & Queens of Dancehall and loved his stuff so we wrote lyrics to the mumbling and sent it to him. He recorded it in Jamaica and we flipped when we heard it.”
The group’s long-awaited, sophomore album ‘Plural’—released in February—displays Electric Guest’s off-kilter blend of electronic, pop and R&B with an even more adventurous spirit than on 2012’s ‘Mondo.’ Written during a period of self-reflection, ‘Plural’ embraces Taccone and Compton’s original instincts, forgoing detailed arrangements and falsettos in favor of a back-to-basics approach – strong, natural vocals, intuitive musical instinct, and unbridled inspiration. The result is a sonic mélange that sounds as if it’s from both the past and future, layering everything from 80s synths to iPhone drum machines to Latin and Caribbean percussion.

AL HALABAN is an eerie yet dynamic piece of work from French beatmaker, JMT-PROD and features Morrocan lyrical genius, MAWKLEY. The opening of the record pulls you in and is extremely cinematic (with Saudi Arabian ambient street sounds in background); however, the love of hip-hop is prevalent throughout the track. Very reminiscent of Wu-Tang with a dash of Dr. Dre from the 90’s. When you combine almost 30 years of sound making alongside of a griot who’s been spitting fire since the ripe age of 10, magic happens. Although the song is a foreign release, we had the opportunity to get our hands on a lyric sheet and were blown away. Concurrently, the two of them narrate a story about self-destruction, poverty and hopelessness. If you are seeking something powerful, provocative and perhaps soon to be award-winning look no further.

*Lyrics
INTRO :
IN A TIME WHERE INJUSTICES ,THE POWER OF SHADE AND DOMINANCE BECAME MORE
COMBINED THAN EVER,
WHERE RAIDS DARED THE EXTORTION OF MASTERS OF PAST AND PRESENT
CIVILISATIONS, AND THE LEADERS OF HISTORY.
IT BECAME MORE THAN NECESSARY TO GO BACK IN TIME AND TO DIVE IN THE
HOLLOWS OF MEMORY TO LOOK FOR THAT LUSTER EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN
BLOCKED BY MASSES OF ASH FOR A LONG TIME.
VERSE 1 :
I’VE LEARNED LETTERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE SHEEP
USING A DULL KNIFE..CHOKRI GAVE ME DRY BREAD TO USE
AS A WARM COVER THE MICROPHONE BECAME AN ADDICTION
THEY SAY : GO AND GIVE UP !
MY SWORD IS IN THE FACE OF ANYONE WITH A SWORD UP
I WANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS !
FILLED MY HEAD WITH KNOWLEDGE
TELL ME WHAT THEY DID TO YOU WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG
A PLASTIC SANDALE
A SILLY SOCCER BALL , FIVE ELECTRICITY TOWERS , BIG ROCKS
AND WE PLAYIN’ 5 AGAINST 5
BEATEN BY YOUR FATHER AND YOUR TEACHER DID THE SAME
BONGOS, P’TIT SWISS, PRE-SCHOOL LULLABIES
CHAOS IN THE HOOD
NEIGHBOUR CAME OUT AND PUNCTURED THE BALL
FELT SAD, WENT AROUND THE CORNER, BOUGHT A NEW ONE
PLAYED NEXT TO HIS HOUSE AND HE CAME OUT BACK AGAIN…
RAIN POURED, EVERYONE HAD A STICK TO DRAW
IN THE WET DIRT, TAKING TURNS
MY STICK STABBED MY FRIENDS KNEE, HIS DAD PASSED BY
AND FOUND OUT
QUICKLY CAME THE AMBULANCE
NEVER SAW HIM WALKING AGAIN
HE BECAME « HALABAN”
Hook (Refrain) :
HALABAN…..THE SOMEONE WHO IS IN TRANSE WANT TO BE KNOWN
HALABAN…..DANI DAN….JUNKY-MAN……HALABAN
HALABAN…..NOTHING MATTERS….NOTHING HAPPENS…HALABAN
HE STILL NEED A HASH-JOINT….THE SOMEONE WHO IS LEARNING WILL BE KNOWN 2X
VERSE 2 :
FIGHTING IN THE HOOD TO SMOKE AND TO HAVE ENAUGH HASH
YOU BECOME ANORMAL WHEN YOUR PARENTS MAKE YOU DOING A DENTAL SURGERY
NIGHTS LIKE DAYS DRAWIN’ IN ALL WALLS….JUNKIES GRAFFITI!
YOU ARE USED TO STEALING…SCHOOL BECAME THE REFUGE
YOUR DAD HAD A HEART ATTACK, WHNE HE KNEW YOU SNUCK OUT
SHAMEFUL OUTSPRING !
YOU’RE A WASTE OF MONEY AND EFFORTS
YOU’RE NOT UNIQUE…THERE ARE SO MANY !
ADDICTION LEAD TO PRISON..BLAME IT ON THE DEALER
HE WILL BECOME HALABAN LIQUOR IN A PLASTIC BAG
SHOP OWNERS FIRED HIM, CAUSE HE SMELLS BAD
JUNKIES TASTED HIM, WANT TO MAKE HIM LADY
THEY GAVE HIM RIPPED SOCKS AND THEY RAPED HIM
Hook (Refrain) :
HALABAN…..THE SOMEONE WHO IS IN TRANSE WANT TO BE KNOWN
HALABAN…..DANI DAN….JUNKY-MAN……HALABAN
HALABAN…..NOTHING MATTERS….NOTHING HAPPENS…HALABAN

OUTRO :
WHEN THE RHYTHM OF THE PUNCHES OF TIME FASTEN..REALITY CAN’T OBEY ITS

LOVE AND OTHER FORMS OF PAIN
ALEPH Projects @ Beit Kandinof | Group Exhibition
July 1 – August 1, 2017
Artists: Eden Mitsenmacher, Eliott Paquet, Mit Borrás and Yoni Passy
ALEPH Projects is pleased to present “LOVE AND OTHER FORMS OF PAIN”.
Hosted at Beit Kandinof, the group exhibition features four young artists, Israeli and international, whose video works face the notions of love and defeat, stimulation and obsession in times of digitized communication.
The Israeli / American artist Eden_Mitsenmacher videos and new media works are frequently dealing with longing and loneliness. In “Back to Reality” (2016), the artist is recorded singing the 90’s hit “Back To Life” of Soul II Soul as it is rhythmed by smartphone notifications. Mitsenmacher’s “singing-to-the-mirror-while-switching-and-forgetting-words” version of the song is voice-overing a dreamy artificial animated image of a storm cloud. As Eden Mitsenmacher states: “hyper-worlds, built from cultural stereotypes and clichés, pushed to the brink of emotional overload”.
In “Partage (Clothilde)” (2016), the French artist Eliott_Paquet transcribes his last conversations over social media with his ex-girlfriend. The dialogues, translated to Chinese and narrated by a computer speech software, are set up in a 3d rendered environment of an ocean where two suns are crossing each other paths before setting down.
“Liquid Marble” (2017) by Spanish artist Mit_Borrás, depicts a marble surface slowly swirling into a storm. The cold still stone is animated to portray a dramatic scenery of trapping movement and dizziness, pulling forces. Next but at the same time opposite to the linear and silence of it, the work “Techno Light” (2016) displays a short brutal house music beat looping endlessly with flashing lights.
Israeli artist Yoni_Passy’s “Never the Same” (2017) is a 14 hours length video, composed of over 25,000 still images that the artist collected on the Internet over the course of the last 12 years. Taking different shapes throughout the years- the artist’s blog “Internet My Love”, and later the online show “Never the Same” (2015)- the volume acts as an epic mosaic portrait, a compulsive manifestation and a prism to the human condition in relation to imagery inflation as it is projecting landscapes, pornography anonymous family archive pictures and many more in a random order.
“LOVE AND OTHER FORMS OF PAIN” is the first collaboration between ALEPH Projects and Beit Kandinof. The exhibition is accompanied by a special sale offering a collection of affordable prints and magazines picked and curated by ALEPH Editions.
ALEPH Projects is a contemporary art and design platform focusing on selected Israeli and international artists. Run by gallerists and curators based in Tel Aviv and Paris, it provides expertise in the shaping of public projects, as well as consultancy for private collections.
ALEPH Editions offers artworks in affordable prices.
Beit Kandinof is a new art hub and bar in the heart of Jaffa that showcases local artwork in rotating exhibitions, five artist studios, and runs classes in the arts.
Featured Artists:
Mit Borrás (b.1982) was born in Spain and lives in Madrid and Berlin.
Eden Mitsenmacher (b.1987) was born in the USA and lives in Rotterdam and Tel Aviv.
Eliott Paquet (b. 1990) was born in Paris, where he lives and works.
Yoni Passy (b. 1982) was born in Israel, he lives and works in Tel Aviv.

Jaguar Land Rover and Gorillaz are working together to recruit the next generation of world-class electronics and software engineering talent with a code-breaking challenge found in the virtual band’s app (watch vid).
The best performers within the app will be fast-tracked through the recruitment process, helping to meet the Jaguar Land Rover brand’s goal of employing thousands of bright new talents over the next year. It is a major change in the way the business looks for candidates, aiming to tackle the engineering skills gap, and inspire and attract a diverse range of talent and new thinking.
Interested applicants can download the Gorillaz App now at the iTunes App Store® (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gorillaz/id1217997478?mt=8) or Google Play™ (http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Parlophone.Gorillaz&hl=en).
To find out more about Jaguar Land Rover recruitment, visit www.jaguarlandrovercareers.com. For more information on specific roles in Electrification, visit www.jaguarlandrovercareers.com/jlr-roles/product-creation/electrification/.
Noodle, the band’s guitarist and a Jaguar Land Rover ambassador, said, “Can you crack the code? Put your skills to the test! Hey, maybe you might land yourself ’the’ most BADASS job you can imagine. Dare to win!”
The Gorillaz App today launches a new Jaguar Land Rover recruitment area in the form of a 360-degree environment situated in the garage of the band’s home, which also features all the iconic vehicles from the Gorillaz past. Here, applicants can explore and take a two-part challenge. The first part, designed to educate users about the benefits of electric vehicles, involves assembling the Jaguar I-PACE Concept1, the first all-electric Jaguar five-seater sports car. Users can learn about the vehicle’s performance, battery technology, space, charging and range.
The second and more demanding part of the game, developed to engage and recruit budding electronic wizards and coders, will focus on cracking code will focus on cracking code in Alternate Reality Game format (ARG). The challenge takes them on a series of code breaking puzzles that will test their curiosity, persistence, lateral thinking and problem solving skills – all real world attributes of a new generation of software and engineering talent.
“As the automotive industry transforms over the next decade, fuelled by software innovation, we have to attract the best talent and that requires a radical rethink of how we recruit,” said Alex Heslop, Head of Electrical Engineering at Jaguar Land Rover. “Here, we’ve found an engaging way to recruit a diverse talent pool in software systems, cyber systems, app development and graphics performance. It will be the first of its kind.”
“This exciting collaboration between Gorillaz and Jaguar Land Rover adds an Alternative Reality Game layer to what is already a cutting edge mixed reality mobile experience combining AR, VR and 360,” said Davor Kravac, Executive Creative Director at B-Reel London.
The Jaguar I-TYPE, Panasonic Jaguar Racing’s all-electric Formula E racecar, appears in the garage. Users can click on a poster of Noodle with the I-TYPE and “FanBoost” which enables them to vote for the @JaguarRacing team drivers to gain a power boost during their next race or to follow the @JaguarRacing Twitter channel.
The project follows the Jaguar Land Rover STEM initiative with Gorillaz in 2016, where founding member and female guitarist, Noodle, became the Jaguar Formula E Racing Ambassador. As the UK’s leading investor in research and development, and a leading global automotive manufacturer, Jaguar Land Rover is putting Noodle at the forefront of its campaign to address the skills gap that manufacturing is facing worldwide.
The company has used its debut season in Formula E to promote the Jaguar Land Rover brand’s thought-leadership position as a business that is shaping the future to solve the technology innovation and skills gap challenges.
Traditional application methods remain open and resumes will be accepted, but Jaguar Land Rover invites potential applicants to download the app, break the codes and solve the problems to fast-track their way into employment.

Debut Single “Raised In The Wild” Out Now – Watch The Video For New Track “American Muscle”
Los Angeles-Based Duo On Tour in California This Month
June 14, 2017 – (Hollywood, CA) – Los Angeles-based duo 1 AMVRKA (pronounced “One America”) will release their debut One America EP on June 23rd via WLDFIRE/Capitol Records. At the heart of 1 AMVRKA’s dynamic sound are the divergent sensibilities of singer/lyricist Jesse Scott (an Oklahoma native who started out writing country songs on a three-string guitar) and L.A. born producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Rudy Maya. True to the name they adopted, the duo aim to unify an increasingly fragmented country and break down barriers of all kinds – a mission mirrored in their gritty blend of hip-hop, folk-rock, country and pop. The five song EP was produced by Maya and all songs were co-written by Maya and Scott.
In partnership with Five Four, 1 AMVRKA has created a long form video featuring performances of each song on the EP which will premiere on Vevo on June 23rd. Watch a video teaser HERE.
The band will also perform a trilogy of California shows this month kicking off on June 20th at The Observatory in Santa Ana and The Catalyst in Santa Cruz before heading up the coast to perform at Café Du Nord in San Francisco. More dates to be announced soon.
1 AMVRKA recently released their debut single – “Raised In The Wild” -the song hit No. 3 on the U.S. Viral chart and No. 7 on the Global Viral chart while the track is already approaching 700K combined streams. Atwood Magazine has called it “a rallying cry,” adding that “it’s an anthem for celebrating your roots and reclaiming your life, for embracing your world and powering through whatever struggles or hurdles might come your way, for finding your voice, and letting your individuality be heard.”
With its warm melody, heavy beats and Scott’s urgent yet nuanced vocals, “Raised In The Wild” is both piercingly intimate and universal in scope. “The song is about growing up on your own in a world that doesn’t care about you, and trying to make something of yourself anyway,” Maya explains. Listen to an acoustic version of the song HERE.
Watch the lyric video for 1 AMVRKA’s new track “American Muscle” HERE. With its triumphant harmonies and infectious melody, the song puts an upbeat, heartfelt spin on the working-class anthem and gives thanks to underappreciated workers across the country. “People break their backs every day just to make a buck, says Scott. We made this song for them.” The song was also featured on the HBO Sports Series Hard Knocks. Says Billboard, “1 AMVRKA have set out to bring some light to the country amid its rather tough political climate, creating music with meaning…their latest song, ‘American Muscle,’ does just that. Scott’s spoken word section about bettering ourselves as a country really makes an impact.”
