ABOUT WINDSER:
Inspired by the radiant California music he was raised on and powered by a well-worn indie rock tenderness and beguiling songwriting, Windser's Jordan Topf finds bleary-eyed beauty in joyful memories and painful loss, in the littlest experiences and the life-altering events. Windser’s debut EP, "Where the Redwoods Meet the Sea", was released October 12 on Bright Antenna Records.
The verdant forests and cresting waves of Jordan Topf’s childhood in Santa Cruz have always lingered in the back of his mind, even as he traveled the world with a variety of bands and writing and producing for other artists. So when he decided to utilize the isolation of the pandemic to launch a solo project, Topf tapped into that vibrant memory. Under the banner of Windser, Topf’s music brims with the complex magic that comes from digging into one’s own experiences—so much crackling warmth and golden glow, but not without its lingering shadows.
ABOUT AKIRA GALAXY:
In the songs on Los Angeles singer-songwriter Akira Galaxy’s debut EP What’s Inside You, pure and unfiltered emotional connection is everything. In their romantic vortexes, nothing seems to be in question, and consummate mutual understanding feels possible. Eventually, though, difficult moments throw deeper truths into relief, exposing the ways in which the narrators have been misled. Akira writes soulful and atmospheric alternative pop songs about being lost in these kinds of states, inserting bittersweet or acidic asides.
Aided by producers Chris Coady (Beach House, TV On the Radio, The Kills) and Sam Westhoff, the songs on the EP blend rock ’n’ roll edge with synth gestures reminiscent of ’80s dream pop. Akira’s smoky vocals feel intimate and otherworldly at the same time, mirroring the moments in her songs when the real and the imagined seem to fold together and become inextricable.
