EMOTIONAL
AHH…THE NAME IS
EMOTIONAL, BABY!
Emotional, a San Francisco
band, recently released its
debut album: Ahh…The Name
Is Emotional, Baby! This
sunny pop/rock band is the
newest manifestation of Brian
Wakefield, singer/songwriter,
director and founder of Death
Records. Slowly strummed,
reverb-rich guitars and soft
melodies bring thoughts of
sun-soaked, lazy days.

SWAHILI BLONDE
AND ONLY THE MELODY
WAS REAL
Swahili Blonde is the
solo project of LA-based
experimental musician Nicole
Turley. Her latest release, And
Only The Melody Was Real,
is incredibly personal and
takes us deep into her world.
Synth-pop, rock and afrobeat
coalesce into something
strange yet remarkably catchy.
Spark one up and enjoy!
