On their new album Shapeshifter II: Outbreak, New York-bred band TAUK offer an unsettling but ultimately exhilarating look at artificial intelligence and its potential to upend our world. With its dynamic sense of tension and cinematic mastery of mood, TAUK's all-instrumental blend of progressive rock, hip-hop, and jazz proves to be the perfect backdrop for such explorations, giving way to an album that's both powerfully hypnotic and intensely thought-provoking.

In creating Shapeshifter II: Outbreak, TAUK made that statement more deliberate and impactful than ever before. But while several upcoming videos and the vibrant artwork of illustrator Raul Urias add a new dimension to the album's concept, the band purposely maintained a certain open-endedness in its execution. "People tell us all kinds of stories about what our songs mean to them, and it's always cool to see how wide the gamut of those stories is," says Carter. "What the song means to me might not be the same as what it means to you, but that's one of the great things about this whole experience. There's room for everyone to develop whatever narrative they want."

Jenny and the Mexicats is a fusion of nationalities and personalities, a band that has a very particular history, more than anything accidental. The band had its beginnings in Madrid as Pachucos and the princess , in June 2008.

It all started when Icho (double bass) invited Jenny to live in Madrid. Jenny, 20 years old, had arrived at the right place. Icho called the best guitarist he knew, Pantera a guitarist with flamenco technique very versatile, Icho and he had played together for many years in a rockabilly group and in another punk group in his hometown in Mexico.

Pantera proposed to a colleague who played the cajón instead of drums, and David arrived, an extraordinary Spanish box, with which he had already shared the stage in the world of flamenco.

This is how the little adventure of an English girl who emigrates to Spain in search of new sounds is born, and gives rise to Jenny and the Mexicats.

She Past Away is dark-wave with a reworked 80’s sound. Signature guitar sound of the post-punk era, combined with minimalist poetry in Turkish. Often an outburst of sentimental anxiety through the nihilistic mind-frame, it is personal. Yet it is broad, a wondering mind brave enough to question taboo and existence.

She Past Away is driving, it is mesmerizing. It is a haunt.

Imagine if Neil Young and Janis Joplin had three love children, and those children grew up to like Folk Rock and Hip Hop. The Junebugs combine high-energy pop with Pacific Northwest folksy goodness to create a folk rockin' sound you can kick your heels up to.
