Fugitive - Syd Silvair

IYL: Ytram, YAX.X, Chaya

Syd Silvair conjures up a world where disco meets modern witchcraft, where divination occurs atop a lush palette of danceable art-pop. Refinery29 asks, "Are you ready to have a spell cast on you?" They describe her sound as "late 70's pop" with vocals that "ring clear as a bell," over a throwback sonic landscape which serves as a benchmark to her intrigue. Like a dark descendant of Stevie Nicks, Syd Silvair raises the spirit of 1970’s escapism with her debut EP, Reverie.

Tarot-reader by day, Syd is endlessly inspired by the rich visual narratives of the deck, and the ways in which their divine messages manifest in our physical realm. Each track on Reverie captures the essence of a specific tarot card, weaving wisdom from the card’s meaning into the lyrics and mood of the song.

Let This Storm Pass - The Hill

IYL:  Tom Heyman, Andrew Ryan, Andrew Bryant

The Hill is an Americana style music project founded upon the songs of Jon Kowit, a former record store employee and indie record label owner, now sharing his music for the first time. Jon had written music for decades, but never played them for anyone.

The Hill "Get In Line" comes after a chance encounter with multi-instrumentalist Mike "Slo Mo" Brenner (Jason Molina, Wild Pink, Susan Werner, Marah, Aaron West & The Roaring Twenties), who agreed to collaborate on one song. The sessions lead to this 12-song album and the two continue to work on songs for a follow-up.

Credits: Produced by: Mike Slo-Mo Brenner Songs by: Jon Kowit Contributors: Mike Slo-Mo Brenner - lap steel, pedal steel, electric guitar, bass guitar, backing vocals Mark Schreiber - drums/percussion John Cunningham - keyboards Rosie McNamara-Jones - violin Meaghan Kyle - backing vocals and lead vocal on Setting Sun Jon Kowit - lead vocals, guitar, piano
