Thylacine

by RITA CASCIA

I am an artist in small-town coastal NC, outside any music scene whatsoever. Literary storytelling and dark humor meet raw, urgent, lo-fi punk and power pop on this DIY record. Born out of an unbearably stressful period in my life and submitted from true backwater obscurity. Hope you enjoy!

“Suffering For You" was written during my time at the Dawson City Music Festival’s Songwriter in Residence in the Yukon. The song was inspired by the story of a group of people who were separated from their expedition, trapped on an ice floe in the arctic for months.

Hello! We are Lord Leper - a Scottish duo melding garage rock, punk and folk into our own unique Melancholy Racket. Our debut LP 'Star Signs & Misery Rhymes' explores identity, self-doubt, stagnation and escape and features our most ambitious experimentation to date. Hope you dig it!

“Coal In Your Window” may be about a specific story, but it’s a truly universal concept of jittery, passionate love and doing whatever it takes to access that fire that another person ignites in you. I wanted to evoke an excited, dangerous, lustful energy that gets the heart pumping.
