***Omo Cloud is the musical project of non-binary San Diego native Cole De La Isla, born to two musicians and steeped in a creative environment that led them to pick up guitar at fourteen and pursue artistic expression as both actor and songwriter. Their debut album Mausoleum was forged in isolation amid the pandemic and “so much therapy.” It's a deeply personal and cathartic journey through trauma, identity, religion, and the search for love—each track oscillating between sorrowful introspection and quiet optimism.Lead single “Ultimate Love” layers grunge‑tinged guitars and lush arrangements, evoking a sonic tapestry reminiscent of Radiohead, Sufjan Stevens, and baroque-pop indie groundbreakers. De La Isla describes the song as “a kind of despair… redefining what love is,” and the album as "a mausoleum”—not of loss, but of closure—allowing them to “visit [their past] from time to time and see how far we’ve come.”

***moondaddy is the analog-obsessed dream-pop project spearheaded by singer-songwriter-producer Cara Potiker and her band (Gabriel Poissant, Patrick Heaney, Rob Wren). Recorded live to tape at Sonic Ranch and issued via Dusty Mars Records, Wax Mage Records and Silver Girl Records, their sophomore LP Dove Tapes delves into themes of trauma, longing, breakup, and profound emotional resilience. Their debut album, Poet Lies (2023), earned acclaim for its lush, reverb-heavy soundscapes and vinyl sell-outs via Wax Mage. On Dove Tapes, moondaddy expands their sonic palette—decadent synth textures, winding guitars, and wistful vocals—anchored by Cara’s cinematic songwriting. The record carries “a microcosm of love… despite what’s happening in the world.”
