Semiratruth is constantly in motion. The Brooklyn-based, Chicago-born electronic artist travels from stage to stage, bouncing between divergent underground music scenes from the US to Guatemala to The Netherlands, synths and sampler in hand like a teleportation device. Onstage they intuitively conduct the energy in the room, seemingly syncing the audience&#8217;s collective heart rate to a universal metronome. Wielding a table of electronics, they casually tap out sonic portals to another world. Their latest record, S!M, is out now on Sooper Records.

Based in New York’s Catskill Mountains, Biita Houdei makes folk music that feels both earthy and transportive, blending psychedelic textures with intimate reflections on love, heritage, chance, and the natural world. On This Bed Was Made For Me, her first release under a familial gifted name that means “unique” in Farsi, those qualities come into sharp focus. This Bed Was Made For Me is out now on Father/Daughter Records.
