Music For Dead Loved Ones: Michael Bang, LOUIZA, SWISS.

LOUIZA

 

California-based indie singer-songwriter LOUIZA is more than just an accomplished musician, though she has already proved that several times over. Having released several albums, including Party Trick, Swim at Night, On, Off, and White Light, her discography captures the spectrum of human essence in all its playfulness, boldness, and beauty. But more than this are her potent lyrical musings on the malaise of modernity. Her most recent singles, “Burn Out,” “The One You Lost,” and “Blood Sweat Rinse Repeat,” explore themes such as the impact of late-stage capitalism on our self-worth, the oppression of women in politics and culture, and the toxic nature of assuming that people are ‘born with it’. As LOUIZA continues to push the boundaries of her musical expression and explore new ideas, audiences can expect to be moved and inspired by her fresh sound and perspective.

San Francisco based singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Christine McCann has reemerged as SWISS. Christine started her musical path in a pizza shop in Venice Beach working with a collection of outcast musician’s, comedian’s, and actors. She was told by the pizza dream team that she was actually pretty good at writing and performing songs and well, Christine never looked back.

After 5 years in the SF based alternative rock band, Columba Livia, SWISS. embarks on a new sound combining alt rock riffs, introspective + oddly descriptive lyrics, and a harmonious pop beat you can bop bop to.

Joined by local heavyweight champions, Jules Indelicato (bass), Harry Goldman (guitar), and Nick Muchow (Drums) they swim through frequencies alive yet questioning everything around them in an angsty but therapeutic kind of way.

A year ago Michael Bang lost his brother to alcoholism.

These are the songs that have come since then.
