Miles Francis is back with new single + video for “Sophomore Slump”
Back in February, Miles Arntzen a.k.a Miles Francis put out his debut solo EP Swimmers. Today he’s continuing to make waves with the release of new single and music video entitled “Sophomore Slump.” Francis, who also played drums in Antibalas, is an NYC-based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who crafts organic, off-kilter pop. Directed by Charles Billot, the accompanying visuals for “Sophomore Slump” find Francis maneuvering dark corridors and bright balloons, surrounded by masked figures in feather boas dancing alongside the song’s jittery melody. Here’s what he had to say on the video’s genesis, “The video is basically a dark funhouse version of my mind. The clutter, the calm; childhood, adulthood; confidence, insecurity – it’s all in there, and I’m surveying all of it.” Watch below! – Sara Nuta

Debut Likes LP Available for Streaming & Purchase
Likes is a new musical outfit fronted by Philly’s Ada Babar. Babar has been active the last few years with the Ada Babar Band, a split cassette with Palm’s Kasra Kurt, Suffer Dragon, and a whole slew of solo releases. They are also involved with a new label Nino Tomorrow, who recently reissued an obscure 80’s electronic album by the Texas artist Charles Ditto. With Likes, Babar is joined by Gavin O.Wald, Clarke Sondermann, Nat Grandbois, Emly Lyon, TC Helicon, Andrew Lee, and Eve Alpert. New Pedal toes the line between pop eccentricism and total campiness without landing on either side. The album is equal parts goofy and stunning, coming through with the laughs, while also running the listener through a full gambit of head bobbers and glitchtronic freakouts. Take a chance on this curveball, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. – Josh Kelly
