“Experimental art pop with a focus on building soundscapes and rich auditory textures”
interview shortened excerpts:
“You are finishing up your album, is there anything you can tell us about it? mbg: It sounds more like I want to sound than anything Ive made. The album takes so many twists and turns, Im so excited for people 2 be surprised by it. “Is there a song in your catalog that perfectly encapsulates you? mbg: I spent about 2 years working on a track called “How Long?” and I think it encapsulates who I am and who I am becoming simultaneously. Also “Take Out My Eyes” off of my first EP. “Would you say you learned music creation unconventionally? mbg: 100%, I was and I guess still am a poor trans person of color. I was inspired by people making music with their just their computer like Arca, Kelela, and Pinkpantheress. “One album as a companion piece to your new project? mbg: Iʼd say probably Fatigue by LʼRain.

follow the show at @psychotropic.radio “What year are you and what are you studying? mh: Im a freshman and im undeclared. “What is your show all about? mh: My show is really just like, trying to give people good pregame music, like, I try to make it like Iʼm your tripsitter and DJ. And I talk all slow and shit. “Whatʼs an album or song that youʼve been obsessed with lately? mh: My favorite song recently is Why Cant You See by Wicked Witch, the 45ʼ version. It's so good. Iʼve played it almost every show. “Whatʼs your favorite part of having the show? mh: I really like structuring it. Like, I always do a shorter interlude song after a really long one, and the last song is always energetic, so the rest of ur night is good.

This August, Olivia Rodrigoʼs inaugural Daisy Chain Festival brought together up-and-comers and foremothers alike in a celebration of women in music. The charity event boasted a lineup of contemporary pop and rap artists like Mitski and Doechii, as well as groups hailing from the MTV alternative girlband era like The Breeders and Garbage. The eventʼs women- only bill and causeoriented profits reflect the objectives of the Riot Grrrl movement of the 1990s, founded by the feminist punks of groups such as Bikini Kill, who also performed at the single-day event. This monumental movement, which combined feminism with the music and DIY ethos of punk, was...
...punk, was further highlighted by the festivalʼs presentation of an exhibition on the history of Riot Grrrl, creating the opportunity for a younger generation of festival-goers to learn about the bands, zines, and previous music festivals that paved the way for this one. While still largely a corporate event, being sponsored by companies like Taco Bell and Verizon (not so punk rock), Daisy Chain Festival is the perfect gateway for a new generation of music lovers to discover and reinvent Revolution Girl Style Now!
