AMBER MARK
Amber Mark grew up anywhere and everywhere. Her mother was an artist, so they regularly journeyed around the world, oscillating between Miami and New York, spending time in India, and then taking up residence in Berlin. Her debut self-written and self-produced EP, 3:33 AM—a deeply moving and meditative platter of earthly experimental pop - is inspired by those stages of grief - a kaleidoscopic mix of the music she listened to as a child—jazz, soul, Indian classical and hip-hop—with sometimes up and sometimes downtempo electronica.
MARIA DEL PILAR
Melodic, sweet and tough as nails, listening to María del Pilar is like hearing the soundtrack of a quinceañera for a riot grrrl. Former lead singer of Los Abandoned, she was the voice of the bilingual youth movement in the US during the early millennium. Now she has taken her sound to a more personal level, adding her beloved ukulele and a prolific ability to spin out intimate pop songs that rock.
