Formerly of Cherry Chapstick, they made their debut with their new name Seoul with the single, “Stay With Us”. Young Ejecta Leanne Macomber, Joel Ford -from Brooklyn, NY Young Ejecta is an electronic duo based in Brooklyn, NY comprised of singer-songwriter Leanne Macomber (Fight Bite, Neon Indian) and acclaimed producer Joel Ford (Autre Ne Veut, Oneohtrix Point Never, Ford & Lopatin). Their collaboration began in 2012 when Ford sifted through years of Macomber’s foggy melodic bedroom demos. He, in turn, offered instrumental pieces of his own and a record was in the works. His slick sound and skillful arrangements elevated Macomber’s lo-fi pop ballads, while her acrobatic melodies and whispery vocals gave whimsy and dimension to Ford’s determined beats and dancable textures. The result was their well received genre-traversing debut “Dominae”. The band would go on to perform these ten tracks showcasing their inspired yet disparate talents in a variety of iterations and settings. Macomber’s previously frayed-edged love songs were now granted the grandiosity of the emotions implied therein. What Leanne describes as Joel’s “endless tinkering” now urges and embellishes the themes she is forever exploring in her music: “Unrequited love, failed attempts at adulthood,” and perhaps most importantly, “the death of her closest friend.” Macomber describes Ejecta as a character, one that is conceptually represented by volcanic activity and the earth’s constant state of change and rebirth. Leanne explains a desire for Ejecta to be “universal”, “timeless,” and representative of the “everywoman”. Name Parade Raza (Vocals, Guitars), Chris (Guitars, Vocals) & Evan (Drums) -from California -Name Parade’s songs are a mix of heart-warming melodies, uplifting lyrics, powerful guitars, and rhythms one can’t help but dance to. Name Parade has been creating music for a cause which would, hopefully, be part of a positive change; there is so much that could be improved in this world from a personal level to a global level. |
