SAD GIRLS 悲女 we made an alt pop playlist of string-heavy cinematic pop & experimental textures from the east asian diaspora (links below) 1.5 hours of music by emerging & established artists drifting from dramatic to gentle #playlist #newmusic #music #eastasianmusic #altpop #artpop

“Yulan & Blaise may be new as a duo, but they’ve arrived with the poise and creativity of seasoned visionaries.” Thank you @plasticmgzn.bsky.social ❤️‍🔥

Chatting on ABC radio about the intricacies of writing our first bilingual song: "The music has to follow [the tones of the Mandarin words] or the word will have no meaning or a completely different meaning. So in a way, the words in Mandarin helped define the melody."

our latest release exists at the intersection of faye wong, björk, portishead, and a shigeru umebayashi soundtrack. listen to it here: precise.fm/falling #music #newmusic #musicsky #musicdiscovery #indiemusic

“Falling 花火落was influenced by the intensity of Chinese romantic tragedy, including films by Zhang Yimou, and the work of the 11th-century Chinese female poet Li Qingzhao” We chatted to Punk Head about our latest release, read the full interview below. #music #musicsky #newmusic #interview #artpop

Hi Bluesky (and hey new followers!) We’re an experimental pop duo melding 90s Bristol trip hop influences with dreamy vox and obscure/folk instrumentation. Our debut single God Complex came out in November. Yulan is a singer-actor and Blaise is the sax player for the Violent Femmes. #music

re-soundtracking old movies with our music 🚀 Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women (1968) and our song God Complex (2024) #soundtrack #music #oldmovie

thank you for the love. #review #newmusic #music

things we were thinking about when we wrote our debut single ɢᴏᴅ ᴄᴏᴍᴘʟᴇx: love in uncertain times the climate crisis ocean earths the allure of nostalgia billionaires on space ships the wealth gap space colonisation the tension of biraciality being both coloniser and colonised the matrix (1/2)

#9 !! Whaaat. Thank you so much for supporting our debut single God Complex. #sbschill #music #chillest100

DIY release, no budget for a publicist, and here’s a round up of some of the press we got. Thank you, your love for our debut single is the only present we needed this year. #musicsky

If you’re a fan of Portishead and Massive Attack, downtempo tracks to listen to at midnight, 90s sci-fi classics like the Matrix and The Fifth Element, ethereal vocals, obscure instruments, 90s fashion, dark lipliner and dark pop: Welcome to the first era of our music. #music #newmusic #musicsky

my heart on a plate for Island Mag 🪷 excerpts from ‘pomelo 柚子’ — 4000 words peeling back the layers of my mum and grandma’s childhood narratives, and reflections on intergenerational healing from my overcluttered brain. #writer #wasian #writing

The instruments featured on our debut single, God Complex. Who knows what they all are? #instruments #musicians #experimentalmusic #musicsky

Hi I’m the saxophonist for the Violent Femmes. I’m best known for playing a 6ft contrabass sax but also own and play almost every instrument in the sax family. Just created a starter pack of saxophonists on Bluesky. Who should I add? #saxophone #sax #music #musicians #saxophonist #musicsky

When you have the sudden urge to add a low note 🎷 #tubax #saxophone #contrabasssax #goodthings #violentfemmes

Just Blaise flanked by the absolute icons that are L7 ❤️‍🔥 #music #L7 #punk #goodthings

Thank you so much Plastic Mag! “God Complex sees the pair make a spectacular entrance with a thoroughly original sound that’s gripping and groundbreaking in equal measure.” #music #debutsingle #indieartist

Hi Bluesky! I’m a multi-instrumentalist and saxophonist for the Violent Femmes, recently celebrated my 20th year with the band. Who else from the rock/folk/punk world is on here?

Songs we had on repeat while writing our debut single: Portishead - Roads Massive Attack - Angel Air - Playground Love Blur - Sing Moby - Porcelain Mazzy Star - Fade Into You Portishead - Machine Gun Mitski - My Love Mine All Mine Caroline Polachek - The Gate #musicsky #songs

“Central to God Complex is its masterful use of instrumentation, which pushes the boundaries of the downtempo genre. Blaise Garza’s expertise with the EWI (Electronic Wind Instrument) takes center stage, delivering a surreal, otherworldly solo that feels both expansive and deeply human” #musicsky
