I had completely forgotten about the group until Sheena Beaston shared some new material a few days ago. Now down to just three members and with a new album out in a few [...]
DC’s Dmerit, a Confectionery of Collaborations
Imagine Daft Punk dipped even further in sweet, soulful vintage disco funk. Imagine synths that reach for the moon, with basslines that are so deep they aim for the sixth circle of hell, creating an otherworldly groove that will delight even the most hardened musical heart.

She’ll Turn The Music On You
My Gold Mask are a great dark pop duo from here in Chicago. Lush with references to the era of Kate Bush and Siouxsie and the Banshees, My Gold Mask pound, shake, wail and thrash through midnight melodies laced with rock noir. Vocalist Gretta Rochelle is never afraid to deviate from a chamber pop formula, [...]
