Hella Love the Hardly Art debut from Marinero is an album about closing a chapter. It s Jess Sylvester s grand farewell and love letter to his hometown and the place he grew up The San Francisco Bay Area before relocating to Los Angeles after finishing his debut release. Using the moniker Marinero (which means sailor in Spanish) Jess Sylvester was drawn to this name as a means to honor his parent s stories - his father a sailor and mother a Mexican-American who grew up in San Francisco. This record blends many worlds from beginning to end and as you go deeper it hits harder. It s his goodbye to The Bay. Pulling sonic influences from classic Latin American groups and international composers from the 60 s & 70 s: Los Terricolas Ennio Morricone Esquivel Carole King and Serge Gainsbourg Hella Love finds Sylvester fusing classical arrangements with a variety of different genres evoking a sonic nostalgia blended with other contemporary artists like Chicano Batman Connan Mockasin and Chris Cohen. The album was written played and produced by Jess Sylvester with help from Bay Area engineer Jason Kick (Mild High Club s Skiptracing) at Tunnel Vision and Santo Recording in Oakland California. On the standout single Nuestra Victoria Sylvester shares It s my way of talking about gentrification in SF or specifically the Mission where my mom and family grew up. The song is about a bakery or panaderia called La Victoria and was a place where my mother and tias went growing up a place I also went to that is no longer there. It was one of the oldest Mexican-American businesses in SF and I wanted to honor it . Through the Fog highlights Sylvester s exploration of his influences from the Tropicalia movement weaving bossa rhythms with lush percussion and orchestration. Using SF s infamous fog as a metaphor for tough times Sylvester expands that it is a dedication to his friends and family who have helped him get through substance abuse issues heartbreak and other painful experiences. There are a few easter eggs in the lyrics for Bay Area folks or people who have followed my music in the past but it s mostly about getting through something difficult with the love and support from the homies and fam. The album s title track Hella Love summarizes both of his parent s stories of how they ended up in the bay. The first verse is about his father s voyage out west as a sailor during the late 60s while the second verse follows his mother s experience moving to The Mission District when she was a young girl. It s difficult to classify or generalize about Marinero s music or identity. To him it s important to let his music do the talking. I m Chicanx a bay native biracial and I ve luckily gotten to travel and spend time in Mexico and I feel like my personality and specific musical tastes come through on this album. More than these generalizations we often make I m just a human who can both fear and love and I m just hoping to connect with others to share optimism and experience joy and laughter even if for a moment. Lean your ear to the ground because Jess Sylvester has been many things and will continue to share his journey. It is clear this gifted creator has more to say. -Luz Elena Mendoza

International dark rock collective Crippled Black Phoenix return with the towering new full-length Bronze . On Bronze Crippled Black Phoenix meld dark psychedelia haunting post-rock Victorian and Gothic influences progressive tendencies and classic heavy rock into one of the most unique sounds in the world. Bronze is more than just music; it teems with a dark sensuality and the simmering rage of people longing to feel; tearing themselves away from the modern dystopian nightmare at any cost. Epic tracks such as Deviant Burials No Fun Rotten Memories Turn to Stone and the haunting Goodbye Then are just part of the amazing onslaught Bronze contains. Crippled Black Phoenix are the antidote to the tepid dross that modern music has become and Bronze arguably the most vital in their canon of true protest music against a world gone mad.

The debut album from Rogers & Butler takes influences from The Kinks Face to Face XTC and David Bowie s Heroes while highlighting their sharp lyrical and musical observational songwriting.

While on a writing retreat in the sleepy southern town of Benton Mississippi the members of New York s Ava Luna came across an abandoned house while on a walk through the woods. Overgrown rotting and littered with evidence of it s past inhabitants the maze-like dwelling would haunt their psyches throughout the writing and recording of their third full-length Infinite House. Like Borges Library of Babel the seemingly endless rooms and hallways in the old house felt like a metaphor for the invisible internal labyrinths which the band explores lyrically and sonically on their new album. Recorded by drummer Julian Fader and vocalist/guitar player Carlos Hernandez and mixed by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips Spoon MGMT) it is safely their most polished recording to date. But their trademark intensity mirthful humor and angularity remain resolutely in place the burnished surfaces illuminating the stories beneath like never before. By questioning or maybe just forgetting the rules of the real world on Infinite House the band has grown beyond the nervous soul descriptor they ve been tagged with in the past delivering an album on which nightmarish moments can Phoenix into revelations that help us reconnect with the surreal magic in our everyday lives.
