Bloodshot Records has announced a working partnership with Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers. The label will release the group’s debut album this Autumn. A release date and album details are still to come.

Grace had the following to say about the partnership: “I’ve been a longtime fan of Bloodshot and the artists they work with. Having spent the past year working on a record without knowing where its home was going to be, when I discovered that the Bloodshot offices were only a couple of blocks away from my apartment I went in and asked if they’d consider giving the songs a home. They were cool enough to hear me out and oblige. I couldn’t be more happy about the work we’re going to do together and sharing it with the world.”

Laura Jane Grace & the Devouring Mothers are Laura Jane Grace, Atom Willard, and Marc Jacob Hudson. Grace is a musician, author, and activist best known as the founder, lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of the punk rock band Against Me! Willard, also of Against Me!, is a drummer who has played in iconic punk bands such as Rocket from the Crypt, Social Distortion, and The Offspring. Devouring Mothers bassist Hudson is a recordist and mixer at Rancho Recordo, a recording studio and creative space in the woods of Michigan, and the sound engineer for Against Me!

Spellling has announced signing to Sacred Bones with the video for new single, ‘Hard To Please’. The b-side to the 7” single, which will be released this Friday. ‘My Other Voice’ is a cover of the Sparks 1979 symphonic disco track. It channels a more sinister state of romantic high, commanding obedience from an aloof lover, “You're so independent but that’s going to change real soon/with my other voice I can destroy this room.” The sinister tone is juxtaposed with the jubilant music, grooving celestially along and set off by Spellling’s entrancing vocals.

Spellling is the work of Chrystia Cabral. She began experimenting with music production in 2015 in an effort to carry on the creative legacy of a lost loved one and released her first full-length, Pantheon of Me, in September 2017. It was written, performed and produced by Spellling in her apartment in Berkeley, California.

Drawing heavily from messages in her dreams, her sound spirals through clarity and obscurity searching through landscapes of psychic space. The result is a divine soul music, soft in its restraint but heavy with passion. Hers is a unique vision, inhabiting a world of its own. Spellling’s forthcoming full-length album is due out early 2019.
