NEWS FROM OUR SCENE: NEW RELEASES
HESITANT- SEASONS OF GRIEF
@hesitantnyc after 2 long years, i’m thrilled to say that ‘seasons of grief’ by hesitant is now streaming everywhere.
i started writing these songs soon after losing my best friend and musical partner in december 2021. riddled with grief and the worst depression i’d ever felt, i eventually found just a sliver of relief in doing what he and i did best together: making music.
the result is an album about loss and it’s grisly aftermath. it’s about the blame, the guilt, the anger, the regret, the good memories, the pain, and every other complicated emotion that follows the premature loss of a once vibrant presence in one’s life.
i’ve never been more proud of a musical project I’ve created, but releasing it into the world is bittersweet. continuing to work on these songs over the last 2 years felt like i was keeping a part of my friend here with me. by closing the books on the project, it feels like i’m saying goodbye all over again.
(More in comments and og post)
special thanks to @aye_qu3 for his stellar work and patience in mixing and mastering this album. i recorded every note of this by myself in my bedroom, and he turned my rough tracks into something huge and beautiful.
if you were one of the few people who i sent a demo of any of these songs to over the years, and you know who you are, i thank you too.
long live lil’ bony

(Released 12/1)
@bookspiritband Presenting “Haunt You”, the 2nd single from our upcoming album, now streaming. We hope you enjoy! Share and tell your friends!
A little bit about what inspired the song…
“Back in 2008 or so, I saw this Glenn Ligon painting in the Philadelphia Art Museum that had the phrase ‘I’m turning into a specter before your very eyes and I’m going to haunt you’ repeated over and over. After an unsuccessful attempt to use it in a song back then, I finally found the right vehicle when I heard Mike’s guitar riff over 10 years later.” – Pete
Thank you to these wonderful people for making this possible!

EATERS – Live At Paula Cooper Gallery (December 1st, 2023)
@jah.bones Very happy to share a new Eaters release today. This is a live recording from our performance at @tau_au incredible show “Free Will” at @paulacoopergallery in April
“Originally created by Benjamin Franklin, the Glass Armonica is an instrument in which spinning glass bowls are made to resonate through friction, producing individual tones. Eaters member & visual artist Christopher Duffy hand-built his own Glass Armonica, though not to any set scale, resulting in a microtonal drone machine. In their improvised live sets, Christopher’s performance on the Armonica is re-sampled & effected in real time by Jonathan Schenke (@jonnytwoeyes), and underlaid with analog synthesizer tones by R.A. Jones.
This performance was recorded live at Paula Cooper Gallery (NYC) on April 21, 2023 for the closing of Tauba Auerbach’s show ‘Free Will’. Many thanks to Tauba for inviting us to perform, and to Paula and her staff for hosting us.”

NEWS FROM OUR SCENE
LILY MAO & THE RESONATERS – TIGER (MUSIC VIDEO)
From the video bio: ” “Tiger” is a song about meeting a stranger with fierce tiger-like energy that immediately draws you to them— that feeling of carnal excitement towards a commanding being. “Tiger” has an infectious guitar lick that was composed before its lyrics were penned. After an amazing date, I knew the theme of the lyrics would be a perfect match for the powerful lick I had in my bag. I envisioned the song to be lyrically animal-themed due to the nature of the chorus, drawing inspiration from power structures in nature and society: “sensitive boy,” “crocodile,” “pigeon” are examples. My guitar solo was improvised while recording “Tiger” at Greenpoint Recording Collective, drawing inspiration from guitarists Robert Quine and Ivan Julian’s angular solo on “Blank Generation” by Richard Hell and the Voidoids (one of my favs!). The rhythm section elusively starts the groove as it takes you on a journey that ends in a swirling rock n roll fantasy.” We hear they may have an upcoming EP on the horizon, so keep an eye & ear out!
