Jimmy Whispers has announced that he will be returning home for two shows at Hungry Brain this Holiday season. He will be bringing his full five piece band from LA, and will be performing songs from his forthcoming new album.

Whispers has been pretty silent since the release of his debut album, Summer In Pain, back in 2015. It will be a great opportunity hear direction his new album, and life in LA is taking his sound. Below is a fun accapela video that was recorded in Berlin back in 2016 and features Jimmy performing a song about “Humboldt Park”.

You can catch Jimmy Whispers on December 21st at Hungry Brain with The Lemons and Sports Boyfriend, and on December 22nd with, a yet to be announced, “very special surprise guest”.

Lwke is a somewhat mysterious electronic music producer who has released two albums this year. His latest, A Fool’s Errand, was released on November 1st, and is filled with chill, downtempo music.

The sounds and instrumentation vary from acoustic guitar to keyboards, to intricate sounds and loops.

Bread Doe has released a heavy new single and video called “40”. The track paints a picture a man trying to balance family, faith, self care, and the realistic violence of his neighborhood. It is powerfully impactful for a brief 2 minute track.

This single follows-up Bread Doe’s last single, “Pick Up”, which was just released back in October.

Villa Coola (aka Gehring Miller) has released a new EP called “RILL”. Miller has relocated to LA, but we can’t forget the time he spent in Chicago. This new EP finds him working with Sarah Johnson (vocals), Sam Ricci (keys, bass, slide guitar), Kory Welty (bass), and Andrew Keller (drums). This gives Villa Cool a much more flushed out sound than the warped Alt-Folk we had come to know him by.

Lulu Be. has released the RIBKA (aka Rebecca Beyene) directed video for her single “Still Rude”.

You can catch Lulu Be. at Schubas on December 9th with Kenya, Aaliyah Allah, and Melissa Lozada-Oliva.

You can catch Cordoba at Empty Bottle on December 9th with Blacker Face and Minnesota’s Taylor Seaberg.

Pool Holograph has released a new single, “Contours” b/w “No Escape”, and both tracks are fantastic. “Contours” is hazy indie pop gem fully utilizing Wyatt Grant’s vocal range. The band surprisingly turns 10 this year and they seem just as fresh and relevant than ever.

You can help Pool Holograph celebrate the new single on December 1st at Grand Manor with V.V. Lightbody, Faux Furs, and Stuck.

Chaos In Creation blends Blues, Rock, Funk, and Jazz, and earlier this year they released their latest EP, “Tangerine Dreams”. The quartet is made up of Clark Armstrong, Vanessa Vaca, Jacob Sommers, and Stephanie Larios.

You can catch Fauvely on December 2nd at Subterranean with Nova One, Kachi, and Dorsia.
