The first thing you notice about her, especially if her forthcoming record is your introduction to the project, is the wordplay in her album title and moniker. Then you will be hit by the technicolor waves of fuzz and noise. Bothy is Pander Sera’s debut LP due out next week. In honor of the … Continue reading Pander Sera Wants to Rattle Your Sternum
Argentinian-American artist Crow took time to perfect new single “Go” Originally appeared on the 405, view archived article here. The tale of Crow’s new electro-pop single ‘Go’ is fraught.
