#NEWMUSICMONDAY: Crater “Habits Die Slow”

Crater

This New Music Monday, meet Crater. Crater is a Seattle-based duo, Ceci Gomez and Kessiah Gordon. “Habits Die Slow” is the first song off their debut album, Talk To Me so I Can Fall Asleep! They won me over immediately with the lyrics “Got too Stoned on the weekend….” Apparently, the album was created from from Ceci and Kessiah’s adjoining bedrooms during the long rainy season. Fitting, since the dreamy electro-pop raining down on my ear drums in “Habits Die Slow” is perfect for sitting alone in your bedroom, watching the rain come down out the window, waxing poetic to your cat about your latest romance. Which, by the way, is something an ultimate goddess witch baby would do, despite notes of mourning, there’s absolutely nothing sad about Crater, who have already gotten the stamp of approval from glitter pop band MS MR, whom they toured with this past year.

Their debut full length Talk to Me so I Can Fall Asleep comes out via Help Yourself Records on February 26th, 2016. Listen to “Habits Die Slow” below.

TRACK PREMIERE: Emi Meyer “Galaxy’s Skirt (Soul Catalyst Remix)”

Galaxy's Skirt

Emi Meyer‘s debut album, Curious Creature came out in 2009 and reached #1 on Japan’s iTunes Jazz Charts, and lead her to be crowned as iTunes Japan’s Best New Artist. Now America has caught up to speed, and AudioFemme is here to premiere her new track, “Galaxy’s Skirt (Soul Catalyst Remix).” It’s jazz, but with the most delightful tropical pop twist which makes it the best song to dance to, alone out of happiness or out with a lover, that we’ve heard in some time. Emi comes from an interesting background full of accolades. Born in Kyoto to a Japanese mother and American father, she moved to Seattle as a child, and went on to win the 2007 Seattle-Kobe Jazz vocalist competition. Now, she’s kicking ass with her music being featured on the likes of MTV’s “Awkward.” 

Her upcoming album Galaxy’s Skirt: Deluxe Edition is out December 4. You can catch her before then playing New York’s Club Bonafide Friday, November 13.
