ABOUT JEHNNY BETH

Jehnny Beth first emerged in public consciousness as the charismatic lead singer and co-writer of UK Mercury Prize nominated post-punk band Savages. As a solo artist she’s worked with artists like PJ Harvey, Anna Calvi, Gorillaz and The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas. She recorded the XY Chelsea documentary soundtrack with her longtime producer Johnny Hostile, with whom she runs the French Pop Noire record label; and she also hosts the Beats 1 radio program “Start Making Sense” and the Arte music TV series “Echoes with Jehnny Beth.” Her startling 2020 solo debut album To Love is to Live is a dark cinematic meditation on the strange business of being alive—the result of collaborating with producers like Atticus Ross and Flood, and songwriters like Romy Madley Croft of The xx.

ARTIST

MOSES SUMNEY


Since emerging onto the scene in 2014, Moses Sumney has ridden a wave of word-of-mouth praise, hushed recordings, and dynamic live performances. It's an organic, patient ascent all too rare in today's musical climate. In a voice both mellifluous and haunting, Sumney makes future music that transmogrifies classic tropes, like moon-colony choir reinterpretations of old jazz gems. His vocals narrate a personal journey through universal loneliness atop otherworldly compositional backdrops. Read more.
