Eric Curiel shared this about the album: “This one was recorded by Roan Gama, who was one of my first musical collaborators back when we were high school kids playing Soda Stereo covers and more.
The mix was done by The Obsolete from Lorelle Meets The Obsolete, who I’ve been a fan of since the first time I heard them, which is over 10 years ago now. We had previously worked together on other projects and it was during one of those conversations that the idea of collaborating/having him do a mix of my solo work came about.
The mastering was made by Ñois, member of Tajak, just one of the bands I like the most in the Mexican underground scene and whom I met when I was invited to play in Ensenada some time back.
The cover was made by Julio Pillado, my musical collaborator in Shantelle and in so many other projects.
Many thanks to those of you who have already listened to the album. Those who haven’t yet are cordially invited to do so. It’s available on all of the popular digital platforms.”

This album finds Eric Curiel going inwards to try and find the most honest and vulnerable answer as to who Eric Curiel is and that is what is trying to be presented here. Something more honest. Maybe a little bit more raw but more sincere nonetheless. This might be Eric Curiel shedding another layer to present the Eric Curiel of 2024. So time and experience will only dictate what the future will bring to Eric Curiel and what new version will Eric Curiel transform to and what will he share with us.

Sade has shared a new song, “Young Lion”, it’s off the Red Hot compilation “TRANSA:Selects” out November 22nd via Red Hot.

Anno is the artist formerly known as Olivia Neutron-John, and this is what she shared about the release: “I left with a self-titled album, and it made sense to return with one. I tapped into that initial energy that put my journey as a musician into motion when I started touring at 17 years old, the first sparks that sent me into the unknown, and not so much trusting, but knowing that this is my path. This record is an homage to the radical hope that got me to where I am now.”

So, six years since his last LP, the all-acoustic A Broke Moon Rises, Papa M rolls into the shred zone, buns glazing, with his fifth full length in 25 years of Papa M-itude! Six fat-assed songs – a couple ballads, yeah, but mostly real all-out groovers here.”

Collaborators and friends shared this about the album.

Josh “Deakin” Dibb: “Working on this record felt like a sacred and warm return. Noah and I first started putting music down to multitrack cassette in 1991. 32 years later and working in the same fashion, two friends alone in a room searching for sounds and feelings that move us, I am very proud of what we created together. Sinister Grift feels like the songwriter I’ve known for over 30 years but also feels like some sort of new chapter for Noah. Couldn’t be more proud of the result.”

Daniel Lopatin: “A classic rock dream that ebbs beautifully into a little bit of a nightmare.”

Jessica Pratt: “On Sinister Grift, Panda Bear cuts a lone figure, bracing himself against the winds of fortune and calamity. Noah’s pure and poignant lamentations are less elusive this time around, as though our narrator has awoken from a sobering dream. Singing a familiar round on an imperiled path, Panda Bear presents a set of torch songs conveying hard-fought wisdom, buoyant despite the load they bear.”

Maria Reis: “Noah has the ability to be incredibly concise in his songwriting. Feels like every idea, every word and every sound is there to serve a purpose – the purpose being the actual song. Sinister Grift has that all-timer feel to it, as if the songs have been around for decades and at the same time full of fresh new light as though they’re pointing forward.”

DJ Falcon: “In these dark times we all need music to get through life. Panda Bear has the magic, his voice feels like the medicine to heal this world. Noah has given us Sinister Grift, I feel relaxed and the beach doesn’t feel far away. Merci Noah for the gift.”

Alan Braxe: “Sinister Grift is a beautiful album. Everything sounds authentic and natural, as if it has always existed and will continue to do so. True and timeless. Thank you Noah.”

Panda Bear will be out on tour to support this album and in support of Toro y Moi in some cities.
