Mal Devisa's prodigious new anthology album 𝑷𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒔𝒆𝒔𝒂 is out. It's incredible, please make some space for it.

"It's a tidal wave of memory, it's a trip through a music genius's mind, and it's a true reflection of who Mal Devisa has become." ~ @post-trash.bsky.social

Tyler Andere @tylerandere.bsky.social · Jul 25

I think these moments are why I will always be in favor of the live vote! I know the fan community thinks it can be a slog sometimes but I actually love the ritual and the chance for wacky live tv moments lol. Julie was wild for that lol.

Tyler Andere @tylerandere.bsky.social · Jul 10

so much loooove 💛🙏🏿

Tyler Andere @tylerandere.bsky.social · Jul 10

tell me why i’m nervous for some reason like i’m going into the house 😭😭😭

Tyler Andere @tylerandere.bsky.social · Jul 8

yes! your bb / reality tv analysis is whip smart + you’re such a fun and comforting hang on the pods. and i love the way you always show up for social justice, especially in the context of these shows, which is important imo. i think you’re one of the most valuable voices on RHAP 🙏🏿✨

"On 'Skyline Arms-Reach Out' I shifted the lyrics & meaning to honor Blackness in all of its forms. I had this existential moment where I felt like I needed a song about Black joy & love & resilience. The song feels rich in emotion, exactly how I felt in the moment."

new Subsonic Eye album is out now. had a lot of fun working on this one. thx @floodmagazine.bsky.social for the review 💛

Topshelf Records @topshelfrecords.com · Jun 16

"Subsonic Eye, simply self-described as 'guitar music,' is perhaps the most exciting active band from Singapore, and judging by the exceptionally high quality of their new record Singapore Dreaming, they’re worth keeping tabs on." Thank you @floodmagazine.bsky.social 👁

Subsonic Eye, “Singapore Dreaming”

The Singaporean indie rockers’ jangly fifth record proselytizes the beauty of the natural world, providing hope with deliriously catchy tunes that channel ’90s groups like Superchunk and GBV.
