Nicole on "Get to Me": On a trip to visit Korea for the first time in 8 years I was spontaneously invited by my friend Annie Ko of the lush and dreamy electro rock band LoveXStereo to write and record a song for a Korean music app called MixAudio.  I was put in a strange and exhilarating situation to create the song from scratch in the studio and record it with Annie and her bandmate Toby for the first time ever, in two quick 4 hour sessions.  Instantaneous commitments to ideas and putting my insecurities to the side were required […]

Can you hear what I’m saying, am I losing you? Are we still connected? I can’t see you, the stream’s frozen.   For years, Garden Centre’s Max Levy has been searching for a steady stream. A stream to watch sports on, a stream to glean information from, a stream to wade in. Occasionally, he’ll immerse himself shin-deep in an actual, physical stream: an activity that pulls him in closest to the hum of the universe. Living is a fractured and fractious experience. A stream is a promise of resonance, unifying our innermost being with our outside reality.   This is […]

Recorded over a number of sessions in Brooklyn and Roanoke, Virginia, Matter is the deft, brutally honest record we have been waiting for Nicole to make. Flanked by collaborators Joe Boyer (Cloud Nothings), Jacob Sloan (The Pains of Being Pure at Heart), Tom Barrett (Overlake) and Duncan Lloyd (Maximo Park), the fuzzed-out textures and muscular drum beats harken back to nineties guitar rock such as Guided by Voices, Sonic Youth and Belly, while speaking to societal injustices with frankness reminiscent of Bikini Kill and Sleater- Kinney. Nicole Yun takes great pains to explain her struggle to grapple with modern society […]

"Hall Of Fame is a song about vicarious living - letting yourself be moved and motivated by the achievements of others. The song takes place in the mind of a person asleep at their desk, gleefully dreaming about inducting brutalized boxers into their own personal hall of fame."   Searching For A Stream is out May 19th digital and vinyl, available for preorder now.
