In Anastasia Coope's world, there is little difference between a confrontation and a welcoming gesture. Listening to her music, one is struck by her gift for vocal harmony and rich personal vision that borrows as much from the light and color of painting as it does from experimental music. The release of Darning Woman in 2024 saw critical acclaim and international success as she pushed the idiom of folk music to its limits. After the album's tour, she founded Bonzo Records, a new independent label where she intensified the exploration of her musical and artistic practice.
Coope has now responded to the success of Darning Woman by enclosing the space around her voice and casting aside the baggage of her folk forebears. On DOT, her first EP on Bonzo, Coope extends a generous invitation into her inner life, and inside a new musical language built from the gorgeous and the mundane, an everyday sublime. The result is a beauty that is light on its feet and almost abrasive in its clarity, avant-garde and as easy as turning on the radio:
What's that song...?
Autobahn is a three piece band from New York: Findlay Fullarton, Liam Barton, and Louisa Tantillo.
Alligator Hands blends alt-rock, rap, and pop into something honest and hard to define. The Baltimore band formed in late 2024 after Brady Scott (vocals/ukulele) brought a binder of lyrics and chords, written over the past five years, to Ryan Fitzgerald (drums) and AJ Lockner (bass). What started as a collection of demos recorded in early 2025 evolved into their upcoming debut album, Delicate Cindy, recorded that summer. The album focuses on themes such as adapting to change, the loss of bonds, and self-acceptance, drawing from Brady’s experiences with relationships and his societal transition as a trans man. Their first two singles, “What’s on My Mind,” and, “I Can’t Hang Out Tonight, My Boyfriend Said ‘No,’” are out now, with more to follow.
