GELD Sign To Relapse RecordsOn Currency // Castration, Australia’s Geld render the dissociation and alienation of modern living with exacting precision. The album unfurls like a series of infinite reflections breaking down into fractal chaos—it becomes increasingly unclear whether one’s suffering comes from the outside world, or from the confines of one’s own skull

On Geld’s third LP—and first with Relapse Records— their miasmic excess gets a facelift. The result is a stripped bare, streamlined take upon hardcore in its purest form, reconstituted into a heavy, psychedelic dose of amphetamine thrills.

Sarah Kinsley Signs to Verve Forecast and Decca Records UKVerve Forecast and Decca Records UK announce the signing of singer/songwriter, Sarah Kinsley, as she simultaneously unveils the new single “Oh No Darling!”  Built on an undulating wall of harmonic sounds, her debut track blends soaring vocals, a haze of digital blips and blops, delightful guitar riffs and a screaming guitar solo.  Underneath it all is constant almost desperate foundation of driving beats that propel you toward an infinitely satisfying end - that begs you to instantly hit repeat. Listen to the shimmering pop track here.

On her recent signing Sarah comments “I’m excited to call Verve and Decca my partners for this next phase of my life as an artist. I've loved getting to know the teams and to feel their strong support towards me and my vision as a musician and creative.”

Solely created by Sarah in her NYC apartment the track belies her age – “Oh No Darling!” is refreshingly seasoned with a nod to the 80’s and a wink to the future. Steering the production on the charming alt-pop track Sarah helms the synths, midi drum programming, guitar, and strings. Watch the fancifully imagined video here.

Sarah’s recently announced North American tour dates go on sale today and include stops in Toronto, Montreal, and Philadelphia. Kicking off June 3rd at The Drake in Toronto, the whirlwind of limited and intimate dates closes with a much-envied spot at NYC’s Governors Ball on June 10th.  She will also perform this summer at the always legendary music festival Lollapalooza.
