Brooklyn-based artist Doe Paoro describes her music as "Ghost Soul," characterized by a dolorous, ethereal sound that evokes the resurrection of "a choir of ghosts who haven't completely detached from the human experience." Echoes of attachment and detachment permeate her debut album, Slow to Love, out February 14, 2012.

The album's first single, "Can't Leave You," was co-produced by cellist Yuri Hart and Decibel Studios' Lasse Mårtén, who began collaborating with Paoro after he saw a YouTube video of her
performing it on the piano. The official video for the song, produced by award-winning cinematographer Jon Fordham (Pains of Being Pure At Heart, Sublime, Shiny Toy Guns), recently premiered on Contact Music.

Paoro's haunting vocals are strongly influenced by her in-depth study of Lhamo—a powerful, unusual, and vocally acrobatic Tibetan-style opera—that she encountered while traveling alone through the Himalayas this past year. At times she channels Coco Rosie, Lia Ices, and even Julianna Barwick. During her travels,
Paoro spent several weeks practicing silent meditation. The high-contrast nature of her music is directly influenced by these studies and experiences, as she was forced to reflect on the deep and expansive space between silence and sound.

Upon returning to the U.S., Paoro sketched out Slow to Love while
isolated in a cabin near her hometown of Syracuse, New York.

Paoro has been compared to Lykke Li and James Blake, but her haunting vocals and spacious arrangements are singular, realized in a state of sorrow without bitterness, passion without pretense. To add cliché to an artist otherwise devoid, Doe Paoro is going to make a huge mark in music in 2012.

Isaac Delusion are three Paris-based multidisciplinary artists who are continually exploring new musical landscapes. From deep to high pitches, Loic's distinctive voice allows him to find the right tone and create his own identity with every breath.
Loic's imagination makes him a mysterious character. His trips to Iceland and his love for American pop folk led him to compose with his friend Jules.
The trio's first offering, the Midnight Sun EP, was released on the esteemed French taste-maker label Cracki Records in early 2012. The EP is full of honest and simple pop songs, including the instant favorite, "Midnight Sun." Chris Douridas from KCRW best describes the tracks as "a burst of sweetly-sung pop propelled by catchy beats."
Early Morning, the trio's second EP also on Cracki Records, mixes pop, electronic, hip hop loops, folk and a funk bass, all with an unbearable lightness. It's a step forward for the band and shows an ongoing musical evolution. All this has been amplifying lately, from shows in New York for the CMJ Festival to Berlin, Barcelona and Warsaw, with a set at the 2012 Pitchfork Music Festival in Paris.
Just like a dream disappears when trying to catch one, Isaac Delusion's music is elusive. The first release was about sun at midnight, the second is about dawn. The band is currently working on a full-length album for release in 2013, keeping us all awake.
