Cornerstone Presents:
Matte Blvck, a trio formed by Alex Gonzales, Daniel Corrales, and Bidi Cobra, is known for their unique blend of Darkwave and Industrial music. They recently released their highly anticipated second album, "Vows." The album's standout single, "BTTR," is a collaboration with the legendary Clan of Xymox, one of the pioneering bands in the Darkwave and Post Punk genre. This remarkable partnership brings together elements of dark euphoria, evocative nostalgia, and immersive soundscapes, creating an intense and mesmerizing auditory experience.
The hauntingly beautiful duet between Ronny Moorings and Alex Gonzales introduces a dreamlike, serene quality that contrasts with the driving force of the EBM bass lines, pulsating mechanical drumbeats, and intricate cinematic arrangements. "BTTR" not only pays homage to the classic Darkwave sound but also infuses it with a modern twist, perfectly capturing the essence of the genre's evolution over the past thirty years.
The infectious chorus hook “Make Me Better” draws its inspiration and is rooted in Dependent Personality Disorder. The lyrics delve into the experience of individuals who possess an overwhelming need to be taken care of and depend on others for their fulfillment and happiness. The line "Talk to me, as all I want is to feel" poignantly reflects the struggle of those who may inadvertently drain the vitality of others in their pursuit of contentment, leading to a cycle of perpetual yearning for the happiness that eludes them.
Ronny Moorings, the lead vocalist, songwriter, and the longest-standing member of Clan of Xymox, has been an integral part of the band's journey. Initially releasing their albums through 4AD and later with Polygram, the band has now found a home with Metropolis Records. Over the years, Clan of Xymox has experienced periods of both mainstream success and obscurity, and now, the resurgence of darkwave music has taken the world by storm. Although Ronny has never officially embraced the darkwave label, there are rumors that the renowned John Peel, of Radio 1 fame, coined the term during their "Peel Sessions" in the early 1980s.
Clan of Xymox made an early impact in the post-punk scene with tracks like "A Day" and later with "Medusa." After adopting the name "Xymox," they achieved commercial success with songs such as "Imagination" and "Obsession" in the United States, in addition to other tracks with a more new wave sound. Xymox began to earn recognition on various musical fronts.
The genesis of the song "BTTR" can be traced back to 2019 when it was initially considered for inclusion in Matte Blvck's album "I'm Waving, Not Drowning." However, it underwent extensive reworking and was deemed not yet ready for release. The initial production of the song took place at Matte Blvck's studio in San Diego. Later, it underwent re-recording with live instruments at Secret Hand Studios in Los Angeles, which is owned by Jeff Friedl, a renowned drummer associated with Devo, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer. The song was engineered by Matt McJunkins, known for his work with A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, and Poppy. The mixing process was handled by Aaron Short, a Grammy-nominated mixing engineer with credits including Broods, Benee, So Below, Madison Beer, and Israel Medina, a long-term collaborator of Matte Blvck.
Matte Blvck expressed, "We believed that this song needed to encapsulate the essence of our live performances. 'BTTR' has been our closing piece at concerts since our inception, always eliciting an enthusiastic response from the audience. We entrusted the production to Matt McJunkins, someone who truly understands live performance, and Aaron Short, who has the expertise to further develop our sound.”
Matte Blvck's second album, "Vows," showcases the band's evolving musical direction and sets the stage for their future endeavors. The album boasts intricate production and a wealth of melodic content, resulting in a captivating blend of complexity and danceability. It is evident that the band is driven to expand their sonic boundaries while remaining true to their original sound. With nine tracks, "Vows" delves into a diverse array of dark electronic music genres, including breakbeats, industrial, darkwave, cinematic dark pop, alternative, electro, synth wave, and techno. This multifaceted album is now accessible across all digital and physical platforms, offering listeners a rich and immersive musical experience.

HELADO NEGRO
Born in South Florida in 1980 to Ecuadorian immigrant parents, the world-building multi-instrumentalist Roberto Carlos Lange stitches together memories, impressions, and atmospheres to make detailed dreamscapes as Helado Negro. He produces, engineers, and mixes his own songs, literally creating and populating his own sonic world. Lange has a degree in Computer Art and Animation from Savannah College of Art and Design and works extensively with video, sculpture, sound, and performance. He brings that toolbox to whatever he makes, and there’s a seeming effortlessness to the complexity. His songs are awash with vibrant melodies, sharp lyrical vignettes, and subtle, even whispered hooks. Since his 2009 debut, Awe Owe, across multiple projects and collaborations, through his breakthrough records, 2016’s Private Energy and 2019’s This Is How You Smile, and to 2021’s Far In, Lange’s work continues to move past easy genre assignments. Showcasing that interest in open-ended multidisciplinarity, in 2022, he and his wife, the artist Kristi Sword, created the multidisciplinary exhibition, Kite Symphony, with Ballroom Marfa—it was a collection of impressionistic installations, drawings and sound pieces that encourages listeners to “open their ears to the sky, the sound of cacti, and the feeling of the wind on their skin.” Lange’s ninth studio record, Phasor, picks up on that interest in the natural world but in the form of pop music. Deep, atmospheric, and meticulously executed, it’s Lange’s tightest collection to date. Lange has been awarded a United States Artist fellowship and a Foundation for Contemporary Arts grant. He lives in Asheville, NC.

THE CORONAS
Today The Coronas celebrate the rare feat of four number ones in a row, with their eighth studio album Thoughts & Observations soaring to the top of the Irish album charts one week after its release. An achievement not accomplished by many bands, the hard-working trio are ecstatic at the news and want to send a heartfelt ‘thank you’ to all their loyal fans.
“We’d like to send our condolences to Sabrina Carpenter. For the last 5 weeks her album has been number one in 250 countries but today Ms Carpenter is waking up to the news that this week it’s only 249. The people of Ireland have spoken Sabrina, and, for one week only, they’ve chosen 3 hairy, 30-something year-old indie-rockers from Terenure to take the mantle!
In all seriousness, this is really cool, thanks to everyone who got the album and a special thank you to our manager Jim and all the Coronas family for all their hard work” Danny, Knoxy & Conor.
Written in Dingle, County Kerry and recorded in Eastcote Studios in London, Thoughts & Observations is a powerful, melodic record which takes an incisive look at life, relationships and art. Although technically a three-piece, with Danny O’Reilly on vocals, piano and guitar, Graham Knox on bass and Conor Egan on drums, the band embraced the talents of their touring supergroup on this album with Lar Kaye (All Tvvins) on guitar, Cian MacSweeney (True Tides) on saxophone and Roisin O on backing vocals. Produced by Grammy award-winning, long-time collaborator, George Murphy (Mumford and Sons, The Specials, Ellie Goulding) Thoughts & Observations is at times anthemic, at times delicate, but always authentic and full of emotion.
Since the album’s release, it has garnered a huge response from fans at the mini-tour of launch shows they have undertaken in partnership with Golden Discs. From Dublin to Wexford, via Kilkenny, Limerick, Galway and Cork, the reaction to the new material has been amazing.

GYEDU-BLAY AMBOLLEY
Gyedu Blay Ambolley is a musical luminary hailing from Ghana, West Africa, with a staggering 29 albums under his belt. Known affectionately as the "Simigwa Do Man,” Ambolley’s musical journey began in the vibrant port city of Sekondi-Takoradi, in the Western Region of Ghana. His early fascination with music blossomed into a lifelong passion. From mastering his father’s flute at the tender age of eight, to honing his guitar skills under the mentorship of “Uncle Bonku”, Sammy Lartey and Ebo Taylor, Ambolley’s musical odyssey has been nothing short of extraordinary. This all led to Ambolley becoming a musical life force and exploding on the scene in 1973 with a jazzy highlife sound called 'SIMIGWA-DO'. His name has become synonymous with Simigwa music and dance.
Coming of age amidst the zenith of Ghana’s highlife era, Ambolley emerged as a pivotal figure in its evolution, lending his talents to esteemed bands such as Houghas Extraordinaires, Meridians Of Tema and Ghana Broadcasting Band. It was during this time that he caught the attention of his compatriot and friend, Ebo Taylor, who recruited Ambolley to be a member of the Uhuru Dance Band. This all lead to a transformative journey to Nigeria in 1973, where they shared the stage with the legendary Fela Kuti at his renowned Shrine venue.

THE STONE FOXES
with MAGNOLIA BOULEVARD
Shannon and Spence Koehler are men of The West. Californians through and through, the brothers know that the Golden State encompasses two halves; abundance and pain. Fruit and fire. Their latest sound flaunts that dichotomy. It’s what they describe as “If Ennio Morricone and T. Rex had a baby.” To that, I say, yep. You can’t help but imagine them jamming out in spandex and spurs.
Born out of both global and personal hardships, “On The Other Side” is an album of the heart. As the world was forced to look inward, so were the Foxes. Quite literally for Shannon, who underwent a painful open heart surgery (his second open heart surgery and fourteenth heart surgery in total). But, out of this pain came a sweeping soundscape that feels like both new territory and a return to roots.
The production of this album was a journey in itself: written by Shannon and Spence, rehearsed in their parents’ basement, recorded in studios and living rooms throughout The Bay, and mastered in Nashville. But through heartaches, hardships and harbingers of doom, the connecting force has always been love; brotherly love, romantic love and, of course, the unbridled love of rock music. They exude this love during their unmissable live shows and when Shannon takes the band out on tour, the world is better for it.
With contributions from their usual co-conspirators (you might even catch Spence onstage) and a bevy of new voices, the band continues its journey into the great void of the future. A little older and a little wiser, they’re pioneers searching for a new world. But along the way, the path is filled with fruit and fire.

HEART ATTACK MAN
Most of us fear death, while a small number of us pay no mind to it. Nevertheless, none of us will outrun it. In this respect, it unites us.
Exploring our existential fate, Heart Attack Man ponder not just death, but life in between the crunch of palm-muted pop-punk guitar chords and snappy hooks you just can’t shake. As such, the Cleveland, OH trio—Eric Egan [vocals, guitar], Adam Paduch [drums], and Ty Sickels [guitar]—stare down fate with an ear-to-ear smile on their fourth full-length LP, Joyride the Pale Horse [Many Hats Distribution].
“No matter what differences we have, everybody dies,” Eric affirms. “For the album, I wanted to approach the process differently and be more poetic in terms of the subject matter. I was riffing on our acute awareness of mortality. However, the sentiment isn’t, ‘I want to die’ or ‘Everyone I know is dead, and I’m so sad’. It’s more complicated. Getting older, you start grappling with the feelings associated with death and how to contemplate life itself. We’re painting a picture of how complex and nuanced our feelings about death can be.”
Since emerging in 2014, Heart Attack Man have consistently sharpened their signature style to knife-point precision with clever lyrics as incisive as their airtight songcraft. This sound naturally progressed across Acid Rain EP [2014], The Manson Family [2017], Fake Blood [2019], Thoughts & Prayerz EP [2021], and Freak of Nature [2023]. Of the latter, Cleveland Magazine urged, “expect to find the high-energy, simmering pop-punk stylings that the band has established in the past few years — just, with more input and new flair.” Brooklyn Vegan christened them “a rare band who feel catchy enough for arenas and punk enough for basements all at once,” and OnesToWatch applauded their “enigmatic instrumentation and cutting lyrics.” Along the way, ceaseless touring shored up a devout audience behind them, and they amassed millions of streams.
In 2024, the guys opted to reunite with producer Brett Romnes at “The Barbershop” studio in New Jersey. Musically, they nodded to inspirations as diverse as Hum and Failure as well as Type O Negative, Quicksand, and Unwritten Law. Pushing boundaries, they incorporated different time signatures and coated the soundscape with a thick dose of nineties fuzz.
“We returned to the Barbershop with a renewed and rejuvenated appreciation for it,” says Eric. “Getting back in with Brett, it was the perfect meeting of the minds. We all stepped up our game. Musically, we tried things we’ve never done before. We understand what being in Heart Attack Man means and how all of this operates. We upped the energy overall too. We just keep figuring out how to make our band better each year.”
The group’s mastery of dynamics shines on the single “Laughing Without Smiling.” Creaky acoustic guitar slips into the undertow of a power chord-driven chorus, “And I see you going through the motions of your life and it looks a lot like laughing without smiling.”
“I wanted to write a song around a big badass rock riff,” he recalls. “It discusses what it looks like when people lose their drive and just start treading water. I always want to ask, ‘Why are you doing this if you’re miserable?’ So, the visual of a person ‘Laughing Without Smiling’ is uncomfortable, unnatural, and weird. There’s no passion, and we all know somebody like this. The song’s a wakeup call. Why are you going through the motions looking dead in the face and ready to give up? You’re alive, but you’re not actually living life.”
The trudging stomp of “Spit” opens with a self-effacing request, “Kill me and replace me with a hologram. No one will ever know the difference, much less even give a damn.” Eric’s scream takes hold on the hook, “The world you’re living in will soon be faded into memory. Spit in the face of humanity,” dissolving into an uneasy guitar lead.
“It gets into A.I.,” he reveals. “What does A.I. mean for the creative process? Is it the end of human creativity? ‘Spit’ is a tongue-in-cheek sarcastic confrontation. I don’t like the idea of everyone relying on robots more and more. It’s my snarky pushback.”
The alternately rumbling and swaggering groove of “The Gallows” mirrors the shit-eating grin of Eric’s delivery, “Happy graduation from the gallows! You made it.”
“‘The Gallows’ is all about making it through a particular moment, seeing the light, and overcoming the feelings of wanting to be dead or someone else,” he admits. “Metaphorically, you step down from the edge of the gallows. It’s a coming-of-age song. Everybody grows up, and it does get better. There is a light at some point.”
The trip concludes with the title track. His sunny refrain belies the heavy subject matter as a morbidly sweet refrain shines, “Joyride the pale horse, I’ve got a secret handshake with Elvis.”
“It encapsulates the album,” he remarks. “In a way, it’s the most abstract tune. ‘Joyriding the pale horse’ sounds biblical. I’m making all of these different allusions to death, but I’m not referencing it outright.”
In the end, Heart Attack Man sound as alive as ever.
“When it comes to this band, it feels like everything we’ve done prepared us for this moment,” he leaves off. “We know what we want to do and who we are. We don’t want to know what life looks like without playing music.”

Since emerging in 2019, DJ and Jeeezy have captivated their city with vivid tales of shutting down the club while draped in designer drop. Each cinematic song affirms that these two men from the rough parts of South L.A. are leveling up, wearing shows that cost more than your rent and driving foreign cars with beautiful women riding shotgun. This caught the attention of the independent hip-hop powerhouse west coast label, Out The Blue REcords, which is the home to BlueBucksClan. Backed by sparse, bass-heavy production that sounds both sinister and lavish. With each nonchalant flex, BlueBucksClan grind closer toward domination.

Football is what brought DJ and Jeeezy together in the first place. The SOuth L.A. natives met while playing as kids, and their lifelong friendship developed in conjunction with their skills on the field. The sport not only diverted them from gang life, but also paved the way for a career where chemsitry, tireless work ethic, and sports-inspired punchlines would come in handy.

COMBO CHIMBITA
Chimbita formed in 2016 as a loose combination of friends and bandmates, many of whom had played together in other groups, all of whom were products of the Colombian diaspora who ended up as first generation New Yorkers making their way in the city’s fertile music scene. Through a year-long residency at Brooklyn’s iconic venue Barbès, an incubator for countless musical talents, the group’s sound evolved, mutated, and gradually came into focus. What had once been a casual jam session now clearly showed signs of real synergy, the kind of thing that demanded a dedicated approach to reveal where it would go. El Corredor Del Jaguar, an EP recorded in the infamous hangout known as El Bunker, was the result, and it showed the roots of all that would come ahead: the crackling rhythms of Dilemastronauta, Niño Lento’s razor sharp guitar, Prince of Queen’s cosmic synths, and above it all the mesmerizing vocals and propulsive guacharaca of Carolina Oliveros. 2017’s full length Abya Yala followed, with successive LPs dropping bi-annually after that (2019’s Ahomale and 2021’s Ire). Throughout it all, the band has toured relentlessly, developing a live show that is impossible to ignore. Whether it is the individual musicianship of the band, an evolving and intricate interplay of instrumentation that manages to be both tight and laser-focused as well as expansive and psychedelic, often in the space of a single song — or the shamanic intensity of Oliveros’s performance, always theatrical and fierce to the utmost, Combo Chimbita is forging their own unique musical path, one that is well worth following.

Following the group's hiatus, he launched his solo career, quickly achieving prominence with the double-platinum hit “You & Me” featuring longtime collaborator G-Eazy. His versatility as both a performer and songwriter has led to collaborations with artists including Kehlani, Quinn XCII, French Montana, Ty Dolla $ign, Blackbear, The Martinez Brothers, Cory Henry, Cheat Codes, Common Kings, P-Lo, The Internet, 070 Shake and more.
In recent years, Marc transitioned from major-label success to independence, founding his own label, New Gold Medal. This pivotal move allowed him to fully embrace creative freedom, producing acclaimed projects such as "Postmodern Depression," "Little Men," "East Hollywood 2," "Man Makes Plans" volumes 1 & 2, and "Folk Hero Funk," each showcasing his evolving artistic vision. His label has also played a significant role in launching one of America's most exciting new indie pop groups, The Army, The Navy, who are experiencing viral success and preparing for a sold-out North American tour in Spring 2025.
Bassy has recently decided to reconnect with the sound that initially established his career, teaming up with one of his longtime best friends and renowned producer Nic Nac (known for hits like Chris Brown’s “Loyal” and DJ Khaled’s diamond-certified single “I’m The One”). Their recent single, "Reminder," offers a deeply personal reflection influenced significantly by Marc's newfound experience with fatherhood. Marc E. Bassy has most recently supported G-Eazy on the sold-out international “G-Eazy: World Tour” and the US “G-Eazy: The Helium Tour” in late spring of 2025.
Now embracing fatherhood, Marc's latest music reveals deeper introspection, emotional authenticity, and personal growth, solidifying his status as a significant voice in contemporary music. With dynamic new music and innovative collaborations on the horizon, Marc E. Bassy continues to captivate and inspire audiences well into 2025 and beyond. His next album is slated for July 2025 and a headline tour in the fall.
