Julia Holter

Julia Shammas Holter is a classically-trained keytarist from Echo Park. After infiltrating Human Ear Music headquarters dressed as an intern, she wrote and recorded her own release on the label. Her music is witty, surreal and optimistic. She plays without sarcasm in the terrains that divide sentimentality, passion, and control. Her songs are written instinctively, and treated with an off-kilter fastidiousness, working orchestral variety from minimal instrumentation.

The Marmalade

Marmalade were a successful Scottish pop/rock group, originally fronted by the vocalist Dean Ford. Unusually, Marmalade had two bass players, and were originally called Dean Ford & The Gaylords; they released several unsuccessful singles between 1964 and 1966, before changing their name. Their next few singles also failed to chart in the UK, although one, "I See The Rain," was highly praised by Jimi Hendrix and became a Top 40 hit in the Netherlands in 1967.

Bachelor Pad

A lo-fi band from Sydney, Australia, formed in 2010. Inspired by spicy chicken burgers and Warrick Capper's flowing mullet, their sound has been described as "artfully f*cked up." Hyperbole.tv had this to say about their music: "while the bass throbs and the guitar rumbles with giddy fuzz you can’t help but nod your head like a grinning idiot."
