Felix Walworth is a Brooklyn based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Their songwriting project, called Told Slant, has been described as &#8220;very sad&#8221; and &#8220;like church.&#8221;

Allegra Krieger was born a selkie in the Atlantic Ocean in 1845. Taking a more conventional corporeal form, she moved to New York City, where she maintains a residence on the sixth floor of a hotel in East Midtown. She writes songs, bad checks, love letters, and poorly formatted emails and trusts that terrible things can have extraordinary outcomes.
QVC has been playing on the small rectangular TV in her room at a low volume for 13 years straight. She drinks a lukewarm beer on blue cotton sheets and watches two women hawk a tropical blouson sleeve top for three easy payments of $15.99 on the distant screen before drifting into a fitful sleep. How remarkably human! 
Her new album, Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine, will be out on September 13 via Double Double Whammy.
