Being, by Mozart's Sister

Being

by Mozart's Sister

supported by

Mick This unconventional pop record should be blasting from ever car stereo across the country. The fact that this isn't #1 is just proof that the major labels and commercial radio industries are too busy scrubbing their colons with their own nostrils to actually promote anything worth hearing. Pick this up if you love ambitious, catchy, and well crafted pop music. Favorite track: Good Thing Bad Thing.

Since attracting a ton of buzz for her entrancing live shows and for first EP Hello, Mozart's Sister (aka Caila Thompson-Hannant) has been head-down in her bedroom writing her debut album. For anyone who's been following her work - and for new listeners - Being is Mozart’s Sister expressing macrocosmic ideas about life with panache and abundant hooks.

Inspired by Discovery-era Daft Punk, Post-era Bjork, and Betty Davis, Caila produced, recorded and wrote the album using a cheap sound card and Ableton software, approaching it with a do-it-all-by-my-fucking-self ideology.

Being is fundamentally a pop record. But if you’re looking to catalog her music more than that, you’re going to have a hard time; Caila describes Being as an intentionally fractured album. "It was far reaching. Things didn’t always connect, but that was part of the whole idea," she says. Which is representative of the best music, and maybe the best of life: looking for order in chaos, not always finding it, and living with whatever happens next.

All Delighted People EP
by Sufjan Stevens

supported by 5 fans who also own “Being”

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
