Pink Stiletto is the musical project of San Francisco artist Valery Kvochkova, formerly of the band Deux Nomiz. And while she doesn't have loads of solo tracks flooding the market, her EP 'New Wava' is way too good to ignore.
San Francisco band Thunder Boys have unveiled their latest single 'Sorry Jars & Shooting Stars'. The track is taken from their upcoming album 'Leak in the Dreamworld'.
San Francisco artist Sheherazaad is now a member of the Erased Tapes family, having recently inked a deal with the imprint. Drawing inspiration from traditional Middle Eastern and South Asian music, she has unveiled her debut single on Erased Tapes titled 'Mashoor'.
Hanni El Khatib is gearing up for the release of his new album 'FLIGHT', out May 15th on Innovative Leisure. From what we can tell so far, the record is a reflection of all the multiple styles of music that Hanni grew up with in San Francisco, ranging from garage rock and punk to Hip-Hop and soul. Tapping producer Leon Michels to work on the LP, this is listed as Hanni El Khatib's most well-rounded work.
Making his return with the track and video 'STRESSY' last month, Hanni El Khatib now unveils another vid, this time for the second single titled 'ALIVE'. What you have here is Hanni dressed up in a Sylvester the Cat costume whilst taking a fall down a very long set of outside steps. While you can pretty much place the metaphorical nature of the visuals to the track itself, we're just hoping that it only took Hanni one take to do that fall! 'ALIVE' is taken from his forthcoming album 'Flight', which is out May 15th on Innovative Leisure.
San Francisco band Tycho have announced the release of their new instrumental album 'Simulcast', landing February 28th on Mom + Pop / Ninja Tune. The record will include new remakes of tracks taken from their 2019 GRAMMY Award-nominated LP 'Weather', which previously featured vocalist Saint Sinner.
Pop singer Lolo Zouaï steps up with the official video for her track 'Challenge', which is taken from her album 'High Highs to Low Lows'.

With their album 'Weather' currently out now, Tycho have announced the release of their new interactive 'Forecast' weather app. Users can enjoy a curated playlist of songs taken from 'Weather' which will coincide with the actual forecast of the day.
Northern California band Nobody's Baby may be new to our ears but their recent single 'Life of a Thousand Girls' is a lovely offering of doo-wop, garage rock and punk that is utterly addicting. While the first half of the song musically embodies 1950's classicism in terms of instrumentation, the band switches to a harder punk-driven sound with chunky guitar riffs accompanying tingling vocal melodies. We're looking forward to hearing loads more from the promising Bay Area band. Have a listen.
San Francisco band Tycho have recently inked a deal with Ninja Tune and are scheduled to release their new LP later in the year.

Continuing their onslaught of dreamy electronica, for this song, lush vocals are incorporated throughout, complimenting the pristine production.
