about

“Stories” brings together 12 emerging Los Angeles-based queer and BIPOC artists in a compilation of new and original music about the stories we tell and the story we tell when we tell them together.

In the winter of 2022, we asked friends in our community to share a story with a song. The music we received was remarkable in their kindredness and diversity while coalescing into a coherent sparkling compilation. These stories of love, heartbreak, grief, and identity gather to invite introspection and exploration.

From synthcore screamo pop to ancient Judeo-Spanish folk ballad to shoegaze noise pop, “Stories” tells a story about the beautiful possibilities when we create unexpected connections across experimental genres and marginalized voices.
