@immaculatetaste 🤝 @psychichotline We have been friends for a long time, coming up together in the North Carolina music community. @alec_lomami @mikethecurator & co have long been inspiring creative forces working in the recorded music space, creative direction, photography, fashion, concert promotions, curation and beyond; notably their @novisaparty events remain some of the best times to be found in NC. So fun to get to collaborate with them on this shoot, we have some exciting things in store together for 2025! The full collection is available on our website, or this Saturday at our Mailroom Outlet; 316 Holland St, Durham, 12-3p, in the alley ✌️

Today, @ichikoaoba unveils new single “FLAG.” Unlike the lush orchestrations of “Luciférine,” “FLAG” captures pure simplicity. With just her voice and a guitar, Ichiko reflects on life while gazing at the sea as she sings: “Is it true that we are reborn so many times over?” “FLAG” debuts alongside a breathtaking live performance of the track filmed during sunset at Holland’s Into The Great Wide Open festival. Ichiko Aoba’s long awaited new album, Luminescent Creatures, out February 28th, 2025 via hermine / Psychic Hotline

We are thrilled to welcome @_andy_jenkins to the Psychic Hotline family with his new single “Leaving Before” — out today! The musical communities of Durham, North Carolina and Richmond, Virgina have long been intertwined, bizarre state-line refractions of one another, just 150 miles of I-85 apart, and RVA’s bard, Andy Jenkins, has been in our collective orbit for as long as we can remember. His writing is as incisive as it is elliptical; he works without hurry, distilling his observations into fertile transmissions, his albums reward being lived with, being parsed and metabolized. Jenkins is one of our very favorite writers, there’s as much Nilsson and Newman as there is Callahan and Oldham, all the good shit. We are honored to share “Leaving Before”, the first dispatch from a period of time that Andy spent in North Carolina with Nick Sanborn ( @madeofoak @sylvanesso ), working out at Psychic Hotline’s sister studio, Betty’s, tracked as spring was springing and packed away for the colder months like pressed leaves and flowers. Listen to “Leaving Before” - link in bio!

I MADE A LOVERS PRAYER 🕊️ New song out today on @psychichotline This song by @gillianwelchofficial has gotten me through a lot in the last 20 years.

総ストリーミング再生数10億回超え・月間リスナー180万人を誇るアメリカ・ミネソタのインディー・ポップバンドHippo Campusが4th Album "Flood" を引っ提げて待望の初来日！ 
高校の同級生4人で結成されたHippo Campusは、至極キャッチーでフックに満ちたメロディーに、時に囁き時に感情を解き放つような情緒豊かなボーカルが乗る、実に耳馴染みのよいインディー・ポップを奏でるバンドだ。
 今夏リリースされた4thアルバム "Flood" は、Caleb Wright (Charly Bliss、Samia) と Brad Cook (Bon Iver、Waxahatchee) をプロデューサーに迎え、長い間密接に繋がってきたメンバー4人が、絆を大切にしながらも個人としていかに進化できるかに挑戦し、これまでで最も無防備で等身大な作品が誕生した。とりわけ、死と落胆・中毒性と不安感・夢と悪夢・自己批判と受容・期待と裏切りなど、両極端の感情を経験することで何がもたらされるかについて突き詰めたという。先行リリースされたシングル3曲はわずか数週間で300万再生を超え、去る8月14日には地元ミネソタ・ツインズのホームゲームの始球式に登場した。その注目度の高さは想像に容易いだろう。
 9月15日からはアルバムを携えたワールドツアーを敢行中。ロサンゼルス・サンフランシスコ・ニューヨークなどソールドアウト公演続出、その勢いのまま初めてアジアに降り立つ。日本・韓国で3公演、タイの大型フェス・Maho Rasopへ出演したのち、中国で2公演とバンドにもファンにも待望のアジアツアーがこのほど実現する運びとなった。かねてより来日を望む声が多く挙がっていたHippo Campusが4thアルバムのリリースツアーを記念し、満を持して日本にやってくる。 Hippo Campus – Paranoid (Official Music Video)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1x5KjPR54U Hippo Campus – Everything at Once (Official Music Video)  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zEm2Sz_xGA
