Looking forward to the release of her Spectacles LP on April 26, NC’s shirlette ammons releases a new single today, featuring the lovely Jessamyn Stanley. shirlette reflects on the song, “Temperature is special to me because it gave me an opportunity to be bold and queer alongside the fabulous Jessamyn Stanley. It’s the last song on the album because I wanted the record to end on a motivating and empowering note.”
Big thanks to Sjimon Gompers and Week in Pop for the wonderful review and premiere of the new Gilda House single! "Anam Cara" is out everywhere tomorrow, but you can stream it now HERE.
"Meg Gildehaus with Tony Morales and Nick Miles curate splashy synth bops that emulate the intrinsic interconnectedness of kismet connections. With emphatic keys that bounce to the beat and pulse like two kindred hearts, “Anam Cara” brings the subterranean cold of a clandestine nightclub with the lyrical warmth of discovering somebody special amid the swathes of synthesizer saturations." - Sjimon Gompers
The Fever Haze, hailing from Grand Rapids, MN will release a new album for Graveface Records next week, and today we receive a new treat in the form of a video for “Last Night I Killed a Man”. It’s not about murder. We promise. Band leader Jackie Kalmink explains it best…
"I wrote this about transitioning, and how the world opened up for me after I became my true self. It's also a letter of appreciation for the past versions of myself that got me to where I am now. I've always been 'me' but this song is about showing the world the real ‘me’ while acknowledging that I've always been me, just within." - Jackie Kalmink

It’s an appropriate pairing as the song speaks to the isolation we all felt during that time. Check out the premiere at Ghettoblaster and preorder Spectacles here.
