Cuushe

Cuushe, who is greatly inspired by music like Board of Canada, L’altra, started out her musical career as a member in a collage pop band, and eventually ventured into solo-project works in 2003. Using her mesmerizing airy vocals as the main instrument, Cuushe composes pop-infused electronic music that is lovable and yet uniquely different from any other song-based pop sounds out there. Together with the delicate lyrics penned by her, the multi-talented cuushe beautifully projects a subtle musical world that is carefully wrapped with sensitive emotion and fragile memories.

Cortney Tidwell

A truly special artist - one of the year(2006?)'s real discoveries. Fans of Sugarcubes-era Bjork and Mazzy Star will both find lots to love here. Hailing from Nashville, Courtney switches between ethereal electronica and more traditional vocal / guitar arrangements. Wonderful stuff. Toured with Howe Gelb on his "Sno Angel" tour. and was highlighted by the Sunday Times (London) as one of the outstanding new artists of the year.(2006) Truly a very talented writer/performer.
