X-Cetra is the latest Numero Group offering, whose releases run the gamut from early White Zombie to lost gospel. This is neither. This is sleepover-core.
In the year 2000, four pre-teen friends Jessica, Ayden, Janet, and Mary wanted to create their own pop group. Armed with a microphone, they recorded vocals and then one of their mothers married those vocals to like some obscure German minimal wave musician.
One of the kids, Ayden Mayeri, grew up to be a successful actor and has revisited some of these recordings over the years and now they have come to fruition withĀ a killer physical releaseĀ complete with old photos and doodles.

Originally from Austin, Texas, Catcher is a 6 piece Post Punk band making waves in New York with their raw, chaotic, hallowing sound. Their music is a callback to earlier Post Punk icons like Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Rowland S Howard, The Birthday Party, and Crime and the City Solution. They are definitely ones to watch, and you should catch them before they get too big.

Iāve posted about Chanel Beads a few times on onrepeat.substack.com as one of the bands popping off in Brooklyn and beyond right nowāa collaboration between musician Shane Lavers, vocalist Maya McGrory (Colle) and experimental instrumentalist Zachary Paul. The sound is a result of manipulated strings and something called āfake jazzā which I canāt describe but sounds right.

I was at a party and this song came on, and itās the best. Cansei de Ser Sexy (named after a Beyonce quote that she āgot tired of being sexyā) were a Brazilian group you were either a fan of or at least heard played in Zune commercials. I completely missed a reunion tour last year and that is a bummer!
I always thought the Death From Above they were talking about were DFA but on closer inspection of the music video, it is indeed, Death From Above 1979 they are listening to while making love.

Beak> has been around for some time now, featuring some of Bristolās finest talents, including members of Portishead. They came on my radar when they produced the debut Anika album many years ago. This is pure CAN and thatās not a bad thing to be!
