illuminati hotties, aka producer extraordinaire Sarah Tudzin, released the title track from her highly-anticipated upcoming album POWER. Preceded by the single “Didn’t” featuring Cavetown, the full record is set to be released on August 23 via Hopeless Records. “‘Power’ is a reckoning with mortality,” Tudzin says. “It was the song I avoided writing every time I sat down with a guitar until it finally fell out of me. In it I’m asking over and over, how am I supposed to participate in earthly existence after the passing of my mom, who so selflessly gave me her confidence, who instilled my power? There is… Read more »

Like after a wild girls’ night out we might say,… Read more »

It seems indicative of U.S. divorce trends that we could reasonably add National Ex-Spouse Day to the calendar between the bookends of April Fool’s Day and 4/20. Lo and behold, April 14 stands as the designated date for reflection on the heels of romantic dissolution. Officially, it’s a day to assuage anger and practice forgiveness—but let’s be real here: that’s about as engaging as a rainy day lecture on the history of watching paint dry. In the interest of feeding our delusion of music being a cure-all, we’ve opted for a decidedly more “teenage angst” approach in celebrating the sanctioned… Read more »
