PATRIARCHY

PATRIARCHY explores themes of sex, power, subversion & death, with what appears to be an intense interest in Ancient Greek Mythology & 80's slasher films, a heavy dose of Mulholland Drive, and a sound that is equal parts ABBA and NIN.

BRUTUS VIII

Jackson Katz formed his alias Brutus VIII as a reaction to a decade safely in the background, drumming for LA bands Surf Curse, Current Joys and Slow Hollows.  For his debut album Beyond, Katz threw himself into a No-Wave exploration of loneliness, exclusion, and—through jarring live performances to his cult following in LA—the absurdity of toxic masculinity.  

HOUSES OF HEAVEN

Layering synths, guitars, electronic percussion, and live drums, Houses of Heaven fuses early industrial and techno rhythms with the melodicism of shoegaze and a heavy dose of dub-influenced effects. Formed in Oakland, California by Keven Tecon, Adam Beck, and Nick Ott, the band follows up the Remnant EP with their first full-length album titled Silent Places. Written against the backdrop of the Northern California wildfires, ever-growing tent cities and the continued rise of empty luxury housing in the Bay Area, the album explores the intimate experiences that transpire within the chaotic confines of modern living.
