Ian’s last full-length album, Results Not Typical (2019), showcased colorful narratives with crystal clarity and hinted at that vision.  With the Evergreens EP, the musician continues his journey and gift for relatable, melodic songcraft.

From dark, twisted symphonies to sweet lullabies, the collective writing talents of Ian Jones (Karnataka, Chasing The Monsoon) and Agnieszka Swita (solo, Caamora) combine in their powerful new musical collaboration ILLUMINAE.

BE MORE CHILL makes its Central Valley premiere at the Selma Arts Center with performances running from July 19-27.

Today Nashville-via-Boston DIY scene duo Twen share a new single. The celestial and angular epic, “Baptism,” out today, is taken from their forthcoming album, Awestruck. On this track, which the band has played live for over three years now, Jane Fitzsimmons' impressionistic lyrics dream of yearning, of wanting to be born and becoming, while guitarist Ian Jonesembodies time itself by revisiting a riff written as a teenager, reworked with fresh perspective. Listen to the song exclusively on Billboard HERE.

Twen came up in the Boston DIY punk scene, kicking off two straight years of touring in 2017 with nothing but a live EP from the band's first-ever performance. Now based in Nashville, Twen announce their explosive debut album Awestruck. Featuring their first two studio singles “Waste” and “Holy River” which received praise from the likes of NPR, Stereogum, Paste, Brooklyn Vegan, Uproxx, Under The Radar and more, Awestruck is a time capsule two years in the making and recorded in different locations along the way. Though unabashedly indie rock, Twen's songs genre-bend from shoe-gaze-sized walls of sound to Beatle-esque call-and-response harmonies, while frontperson Jane Fitzsimmons' voice weaves through guitarist Ian Jones' guitar lines with Cocteau Twin's inspired flair, giving breath of ethereal mysticism across the album. Awestruck will be out on September 20th via Frenchkiss - pre-order HERE. Today Twen share the album's massive, sun-drenched lead single “Damsel.”

Patti LuPone, Uzo Aduba, Gallant, Chance the Rapper, Estelle, and Aimee Mann are set to contribute music to the musical film Steven Universe The Movie, according to Deadline. 

Nashville by-way-of Boston DIY punk scene band Twen recently released a massive debut single “Waste” which earned praise from the likes of NPR, Stereogum,Paste, Brooklyn Vegan, Uproxx, Under The Radar and more. They also announced their signing to Frenchkiss, and are about to embark on a support tour with White Reaper. Today, they share another new track, the stunning “Holy River” which was written as an ode to Nashville and its nature after the band moved there from Boston.

Today, RTX Animation Festival, Rooster Teeth's celebration of the best of internet animation, announced its first wave of panelists including Tigtone co-creators Benjamin Martian and Andrew Koehler, animation industry leader Ian Jones-Quartey, Dragon Ball Super and gen:LOCK voice actress Monica Rial and more.

Nashville by-way-of Boston DIY punk scene band Twen release their massive debut single today, alongside the announcements of signing to Frenchkiss and a support tour with White Reaper. The hard-hitting 'Waste' - which showcases the band's captivating balance between lightness and darkness, where catchy punk and dream pop seamlessly blends with heavy psych-rock undertones - is about fighting the relentless voices of self-doubt that play on loop in your head. Those doubts fall away as lead vocalist Jane Fitzsimmons shouts into the void: 'I make you wanna be someone. I make you want to waste it, I make you wanna waste some time.' Check out the song via Stereogum HERE.
