July 16 “Babe Rainbows Acid and Honey” Produced by the band with their collaborator Timon Martin (Benne, Ratbag). The album is 100% self-financed and released independently through the band’s label, Eureka Music/AWAL. The album was recorded at their band shed at home, as well as champion Kyle’s County Line Recording Studio in the Malibu Hills, Marie Louise’s houseboat in Amsterdam, a dairy farm in Blackwell, UK, Aesium Music House, and the home of their good luck charm Sam Joseph. Musically as varied as all those recording locations, but the album comes together distinctly Babe Rainbow.

King Woman is the creative project of NYC-based songwriter, producer, and vocalist Kris Esfandiari, whose heavy-laden vocals drive the band’s commanding sound which was founded in 2009. King Woman’s debut album Created in the Image of Suffering (2017) first introduced Esfandiari’s blend of doom and spiritual catharsis where she sings on being raised in a cult-like Charismatic Christian environment marked by exorcisms and home church services. King Woman earned praise from major publications for her raw intensity. Alongside her work with King Woman, Esfandiari has released music under various other monikers, further defining her artistic voice. In her 2021 album Celestial Blues, released on Relapse Records, Esfandiari reframes biblical archetypes through rebellion and renewal, using the memory of a childhood near-death experience to guide a ritual of musical transformation. The record received widespread critical acclaim from outlets including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR, and Kerrang, and was featured on several year-end “best of” lauded for balancing extreme heaviness with compelling emotional impact. With its provocative mix of the sacred and the profane, King Woman cements Esfandiari as one of the most singular and fearless voices in modern heavy music

SIMON JOYNER https://simonjoyner.bandcamp. com/ https://www.instagram.com/ simonjoynermusic/ https://www.facebook.com/ simonjoynermusic/ Simon Joyner is a renowned American singer-songwriter from Omaha, Nebraska who has released albums on independent labels since the early 1990s. His earliest records were influential signposts of the Lo-Fi and home-taping movement which also produced contemporaries like Smog, Lou Barlow, Will Oldham and the Mountain Goats. He is now widely regarded as one of the great songwriters of our time. Gillian Welch calls him her favorite poet and Kevin Morby and Conor Oberst both claim him as a major influence with Bright Eyes also recording covers of Joyner’s songs “Burn Rubber” and “Double Joe.” Despite often being described as a songwriter’s songwriter, Joyner has soared under the radar for over thirty years. His storytelling has been compared to Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Lou Reed, and Bob Dylan. Over the course of 19 albums his career is hard to pin down as he’s followed a mercurial path, never content to make the same record twice. QUOTES: “Omaha has given us the reigning heir to Henry Miller’s dark emotional mirror, Townes Van Zandt’s three-chord moan, and Lou Reed’s warehouse minimalism: his name is Simon Joyner.” — Gillian Welch “Pound for pound Simon Joyner is my favorite lyricist of all time. He has shades of all the greats (Van Zandt, Cohen, Dylan) but exists in a space all his own … He truly is an American songwriting treasure. It is my hope that more people will discover his music and share in the unique joy that it brings.” — Conor Oberst “Simon’s always been a secret handshake amongst me and my peers. He’s a pioneer. He’s helped pave the way for many people, myself included. He’s an artist in its purest form–for his only concern is crafting a perfect song–which he’s done time and time again.” —Kevin Morby “Joyner has been chipping away at the subtle absurdities of life since 1991, his rambling balladeering usually garnering comparisons to Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt. He also shares a wry approach to self-reflection with modern practitioners like Mark Kozalek, Bill Callahan and the late David Berman.” – MOJO
