It\u2019s an audio diary of what they know will be their most cherished memories. They\u2019ve released a series of cohesive projects where field recordings blend with ambient, folk, and pop, including their 2021 EP Skipping Stones, their self-titled debut LP of the same year, and their acclaimed 2023 LP Glossover. The three musicians work more and more tightly as a trio with each offering, splitting roles on guitar, vocals, percussion, and even mixing English and French. Their collaboration has led them into multiple US and Canadian tours including performances at Montreal\u2019s Jazz Fest, Guelph\u2019s Jazz Fest, Pop! Montreal, M for Montreal, and opening for one of the biggest names in folk, Novo Amor, at MTelus in Montreal and History in Toronto. \nTheir third record, titled Running With Scissors, is a poignant, genre-blurring exploration of life\u2019s most tender and tumultuous moments. Across the twelve tracks, raw, emotional acoustic elements are fused with subtle electronic layers and indie rock grunge, creating a textured blend that feels as vast and intimate as the album\u2019s themes. It\u2019s an immersive record that shifts perspectives, from the micro to the macro, zooming out to explore the universe and zooming in on the personal experiences that define their lives. \n\n\t\n\n\t\n\nVIDEO\n\n\n\n"},{"title":"Habibi","link":"https:\/\/anniversarygroup.com\/Habibi","pubDate":"Wed, 27 Sep 2023 17:16:48 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/anniversarygroup.com\/Habibi","description":"\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\nHabibiAgent: Tom Konitzer\nTerritory: North America \nLabel: Kill Rock Star\n\ue051\ufe0e\ue025\ufe0e \n\n\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\tABOUT\n\nCo-founded by Detroit natives Rahill Jamalifard and Lenny Lynch, Habibi got its start in Brooklyn in 2011, earning early raves everywhere from Pitchfork and NME to All Things Considered and The New Yorker, who praised the band for infusing \u201cthe Colgate-white glisten of sixties-girl-group pop with an uncensored edge.\u201d Dreamachine, Habibi\u2019s mesmerizing new record releasing on Kill Rock Stars, marks a major sonic evolution for the band, rising beyond the critically acclaimed five-piece\u2019s garage rock roots to arrive at a singular swirl of analog and digital elements that underpin their search for spiritual and physical transcendence. Produced by Tyler Love and longtime collaborator Jay Heiselmann and featuring MGMT multi-instrumentalist James Richardson, the collection draws on a mix of post-punk, experimental pop, and vintage disco, calling to mind Tom Verlaine, Diana Ross, Kate Bush, and Kim Deal, all filtered through the band\u2019s shared love of Middle Eastern psych music. The songs here are their own distinct worlds, each an immersive quest in pursuit of something greater, and the band\u2019s performances are relentless and hypnotic to match, driven by lush synthesizers, sinewy guitars, and a muscular rhythm section. The result is a record as fearless as it is enthralling, an alternatingly fierce and joyous work that ascends to new heights as it reckons with desire and escape, love and surrender, rebellion and reality.\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\nVIDEO\n\n\n\n\n"},{"title":"A$AP Twelvyy ","link":"https:\/\/anniversarygroup.com\/A-AP-Twelvyy","pubDate":"Fri, 02 May 2025 21:31:18 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/anniversarygroup.com\/A-AP-Twelvyy","description":"\n\t\n\n\n\nA$AP Twelvyy Agent: Gage LuceTerritory: WorldLabel: Two Twelve Technologies\n\ue025\ufe0e \ue051\ufe0e \n\n\t\n\n\n\n\t\n\tABOUT\n\n\nA$AP Twelvyy is a rapper and member of the Harlem-based A$AP Mob collective, known for his introspective lyricism and gritty, streetwise perspective.

It\u2019s not an obvious or easily describable feeling that was bubbling\naway inside Argir\u00f2 though.\n\u201cA dreamlike feeling in motion,\u201d she explains. \u201cA feeling that we cannot\ndescribe, a dream I\u2019m sort of walking through.\u201d \n\n\nHowever, despite being rooted in\nsomething indescribable or definable, Argir\u00f2 set about making this record with a laser focus on what she\nwanted to do. \u201cI had a clarity for this record that I didn't have for\nothers,\u201d she says. \u201cI just knew what I wanted \u2013 from the production to where I\nwanted a trumpet solo. We didn\u2019t experiment a lot with this record because I\njust knew what to do. This might be a once in a lifetime thing to happen.\u201d \n\n\nA once in a lifetime occurrence\nor moment of perfectly crystalised creative vision, perhaps, but you could also\nargue that CLOSER is the natural evolutionary by-product of a highly\nskilled, nuanced and ambitious artist who is able to trust their intuition to\ncreate something singular. \n\n\nArgir\u00f2 has been a central figure in the UK jazz, classical and\nelectronic worlds since she moved to London from Rome over a decade ago. A\nskilled pianist since childhood, she\u2019s collaborated with everyone from These\nNew Puritans to Jono McCleery to Jamie Leeming alongside output with Moonfish.\nHer previous solo album, the stunning electronic jazz-fusion record Forest\nCity, received widespread critical acclaim and was covered by the likes of\nThe Guardian, Pitchfork, Vogue, and Rolling Stone. Her music has featured in\nthe Netflix series, Elite, and she can count the likes of Four  Tet and Gilles Peterson as fans, with the latter\ndescribing her music as \u201cabsolutely crazy good\u201d. \n\n\nThe result of this journey, both sonic and personal, can be keenly felt\non CLOSER. \u201cWhile working on the music there\nwas this strong feeling of getting, with every single note, closer and closer\nto the person I want to be,\u201d she says. \u201cI was like, this is my thing, this is\nmy baby, I need to connect more with myself and the music and have this sort of\nconscious journey. To be free, curious and closer connected to the people I\nlove. There is so much noise in this world, I think being direct, gentle,\nlight, open and connected is the key.\u201d  \n\n\nWhile it is definitely not a\nconcept album, the record does mirror the path of inner self-exploration that Argir\u00f2 has been on. Albeit moving\nin unpredictable ways, as it traverses the spectrum of electronic music\nspanning ambient to dance music, while also retaining light touches of jazz\nwith a leaning towards experimental pop via Argir\u00f2\u2019s more central and up-front\nvocals. \n\n\n The opening\n\u2018Light\u2019 \u2013 a song about \u201cestablishing a lighter and balanced relationship with\nyour inner self and consequently with others\u201d \u2013 is a beautiful piece of\nimmersive yet infectious synth-pop, with the slow-burn unfurling \u201cCloser\u201d following,\nmerging sparse drums with deft melodies, glimmering production and a vocal\nperformance that feels both tender yet quietly rousing. \u2018Time\u2019 is a stirring track\nthat gradually builds from a soft, soul-jazz inflected piece before it rockets\ninto techno thumper territory \u2013 yet all the while retaining that light, dreamy,\nimmersive quality that Argir\u00f2\nis so skilled at.    \n\n\nFinding clarity and sharpened definition in between blurred lines and\ndreamlike worlds, is the core duality and dichotomy that underpins CLOSER.\nNot only is this reflected in the philosophy that drove Argir\u00f2\u2019s creative\napproach but it results in a genre-fluid record that gracefully blends engulfing\natmospheres, glistening synths and pummelling beats; creating a space where\nmelody and deconstructed rhythms harmoniously coexist.\n\n\nMuch like that feeling that overcame and gripped Argir\u00f2, forcing her to\nmake the most direct and clear work of her life, the end result may not be easy\nto pigeonhole into genre but it is loaded with personality.  \u201cI'm just trying to follow my\ninstincts,\u201d Argir\u00f2\nsays. \u201cWhen I compose, I'm so focused, there is nothing that can distract me.\nI\u2019m not worried if this music is going to be liked. I\u2019m focused on the music \u2013\nand what\u2019s next.\u201d\n\n\nThe end result of this record is\nnot just in creating something that is breaking new sonic ground for Argir\u00f2, but also making something\nshe feels deeply anchored to on a personal level. \u201cIt's been so\nimportant for me to connect with myself making this record,\u201d she says. \u201cThat's\nwhy this album is hard to define because there is no connection with the outside\nworld, it\u2019s all about the inner self.\u201d \n\n\nAnd one of the many beautiful\nconsequences of Argir\u00f2\nmaking a record that set out to undo previous ways of working and thought\nprocesses, is that it\u2019s opened up the future for endless possibilities. \u201cI\nam progressing continuously,\u201d she says. \u201cWhich means that I have no boundaries\nfor what's coming next.\u201d \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\nVIDEO\n\n\n\n\n"},{"title":"A Beacon School","link":"https:\/\/anniversarygroup.com\/A-Beacon-School","pubDate":"Mon, 27 Apr 2020 20:47:18 +0000","guid":"https:\/\/anniversarygroup.com\/A-Beacon-School","description":"\n\n\nA Beacon School\nAgent: Tom Konitzer \nTerritory: North America\nLabel: Grind Select\n\ue051\ufe0e \ue025\ufe0e\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\nABOUT\n\nThe official follow-up to his beloved debut Cola, Smith takes his sound even further with 10 tracks that are an untainted exploration of the unconscious artistic self and the oscillation of time. \nSmith began making music as A Beacon School in 2009.
