CAMÍNA

Inspired by her Spanish heritage, eclectic upbringing, and recent travels, including an ongoing sabbatical in the New Mexico mountains, CAMÍNA is the culmination of Dallas-based musician Ariel Saldivar’s life. “Camina,” means “walk,” and her debut album, Te Quiero Mucho, dreamily wanders through personal narratives about love and loss, ruminations on current events, and finding strength in the face of adversity.

“This record is about resilience and honoring my heritage and those that have come before us,”
says Saldivar.

Drawing on various genres such as electronic music, trip hop, lo-fi, R&B, and the avant-garde, Te Quiero Mucho features deep base infused with hazy, crackling instrumentals, layered with Saldivar’s soulful vocals. A chameleonic desert chanteuse with a sharp tongue and a soft heart, CAMÍNA shifts between frustrated longing (“Cinnamon”), playfully quirky (“Burn For Eternity’), and heartfelt desire (“Forever and Always”). One could imagine her singing in a dusty roadside chapel, strains of organ music wafting through the air, a radio tuned to a Spanish station lazily buzzing in the background.

Lorelei K is an artist, musician and poet from Dallas, Texas, known for composing and performing avant-pop with arresting vocals. She established herself as a premiere solo artist in North Texas with ​Be The Doll ​in late 2017 and was delivered to listeners across the United States as support for The Sound of Animals Fighting the next year.
Soon after the release of ​Be The Doll,​ Lorelei K was deemed an ​artist to watch for​ in ​D Magazine​: “To hear the songs live is to experience a liberating merge of fantasy and intense vulnerability … as each anthem for suppressed loveliness ends, something is palpably freed.”

The ​Dallas Observer​ praised Lorelei K’s many contributions to the North Texas scene, which she pushes forward as a sought-after improviser, an organizer who brings queer and trans talent to the light with her, and a collaborator with a singular gift for directing projects both sonically and visually. “​The continual effort to venture into uncharted waters and creative maturity has been a central theme … and we are only witnessing the beginning of it,” Garrett Gravely wrote.

Lorelei K took home six Denton Arts & Music Awards in 2019, including Best New Act, Best Lyricist and Best Vocalist. She was nominated for Best New Act in the 2018 Dallas Observer Music Awards. ​An improvised experimental collaboration with Paul Slavens called ​Lorelei K x Kill the World ​was released as an EP in 2019.
A sense of primal breakthrough is the throughline from Lorelei K’s first album to the second, Lightbender,​ out ​now. The voice that first hushed crowds with full-throated longing and elegant range meets listeners with new restraint. Long-players flourish into surprising territory: “Eidelon” is a pulsing descent into metal with blades of straightforward guitar; “Sentimental interest” follows Cocteau Twins-like dream logic in a gentle flex of compositional intuition.

Trap-leaning beats and moments punctuated with R&B prove true what Lorelei K’s debut suggested: she can lace any genre with epicism. A longtime mind-meld with producer/engineer Michael Briggs brings Denton’s most prolific and hardest-working artists together for another record.

The themes of rebirth on ​Lightbender followed Lorelei K’s ascension to her own power, shared on stages across the United States ​over two tours with Rosegarden Funeral Party throughout Fall and Winter of 2019 to 2020.

“If purity is a place, that’s where I want to take you,” Knowles sings on “White Dress.” Lightbender g​enerates a purifying heat — simplicity reduced from abundance on fire.

Electro-space pop duo Def Rain – singer/songwriter Ashley Cromeens (Spumante), Grant Ring (CJ Abe Lincoln) & Matt Leer (Maurizio Merli) – formed in 2011 in Denton, TX and quickly began to draw a buzz in the North Texas scene. Known for fog engulfed, laser saturated live shows, Def Rain quickly began captivating audiences, including the lead singer of The Flaming Lips, Wayne Coyne. “We wanted to find a way to have a live show that was entertaining for the audience and for us, says Cromeens. Every show is a little different than the last, incorporating anything from backlight reactive jumpsuits to translucent ghost lamps.” “Def Rain’s sound is a mixture of genre-bending and blending, incorporating ethos of hip-hop alongside surf-rock poetry, says THWRD magazine co-publisher, Lee Escobado. Cromeens is as much interested in being ahead of the curve as she is in widening it.” Def Rain just released their second album, EXIT. Recorded between 2015-2017, EXIT showcases a broadened scope in the Def Rain sound, with some added instrumentation and live drums.
