Talon, (Like the Claw)
Talon, Like the Claw is my debut EP, so naturally it is meant to be an introduction to me and my musical messages. As an artist, my goal is to foster community through our shared experiences, and also to help process those experiences in the most positive way. I want to be like your musical BFF and therapist in one! I chose these songs because they create the atmospheres of the human journey—at least how I’ve experienced it so far.

Mangoo Factory
Mangoo Factory´s debut EP, was put together in two days. With a live recording the Band tried to bring the true, on stage vibe, across! Is it Pop, Jazz or maybe even Cabaret(ish)? "It is Music that smells like mangoes and tastes like dreams“. The texts are about traveling, love and Life and the awkward situations that come along the way. The Composer is the singer and violinist Celina von Wrochem, who also designed the CD-Coverdesign, and cut the Musikvideo of "Friday Night“, a tune that is on the EP.

Going Somewhere
Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Flowers shares her sophomore solo album, Going Somewhere which features 13 tracks inspired by some of her favorite artists – Kirk Franklin, Talking Heads, Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and more. As with her debut album, Listen, Rachel refuses to be pigeonholed, drawing from her extensive musical background to create a sound with elements of jazz, rock, orchestral, and pop, but one that is uniquely her own. This album, as well as her first, is self-produced, recorded at home, and Rachel plays all of the instruments with the utmost precision. Her sweet, almost angelic voice will lure you in and keep you listening. Her music is playful, sophisticated, and delivered with an incredible sensibility.

Cinema Swing
Hot Club of Los Angeles invests its performances on Cinema Swing with passion and the band’s unique approach to gypsy jazz, reflecting the accomplished musicianship and stylistic breadth of the group’s members as captured by Doyle, who doubled as the album’s producer. “We’re not your parent’s, or grandparent’s gypsy jazz band,” notes Byron. “We range far and wide across genres, while still honoring Django’s legacy. It’s fun music that will brighten your day, put a smile on your face and a spring in your step.”

Mercury Messenger
Mercury Messenger brings to mind guitar gods like Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson, but unlike other instrumental rock records it is also smooth and song based, giving you hints of Pink Floyd, Rush, Toto, Steely Dan and The Beatles. Quist has enlisted the help of Jonathan Mover (Joe Satriani, GTR, Fuel) and Ben Smith (Heart) on drums, as well as Ty Bailie (Katy Perry) on B3 organ, among other top LA sidemen to round out the record.
