Independent record label Babe Slayer is one of my favorites to keep track of. The newly formed label (run by Eyedess) has impressed in the past with releases by Jasmine and Mellow Follow, and now they've delivered a new batch to their catalog. Returning with a slew of drops on their SoundCloud, including three new EPs from artists Anime Eyes, Rhxanders, and Teenage Granny. Here's the rundown:
Anime Eyes - Telepathic Skills EP
The four song EP
by Anime Eyes
(I couldn't find anything
on her online. You try
Googling 'Anime Eyes'.)
is equal parts stripped down
and dreamy (like "Jazz Punks"),
while opener “Higher Levels”
is reminiscent of CocoRosie
blended with Bat for Lashes
and a little more reverb.
Teenage Granny - Teenage Grannycore EP
A two song project
called Teenage Grannycore.
Needless to say,
I had no idea
what to expect
before pressing play;
I was pleasantly surprised
when I did.
The split single
is a dreamy pop
endeavor relaxed
on the beach.
Lofi bedroom blues
not far
from the ocean.
Exactly what you need
before bedtime.
Rhxhanders // Eyedress // Jess Connelly // Chocolate Grass
The four song
release by Rxhanders,
Eye Still Get High
was removed as a proper
playlist, but still exists
as solo pieces.
With a quick guitar-driven
punk piece called
“Purists Are Pretentious”,
the remaining
three songs
are shrouded in experimental
blissful synth pop,
complete with collaborations
from Eyedress,
Chocolate Grass,
and Jess Connelly.
Little by little,
Babe Slayer
continues to take hold
of more of my heart.
