Cor de Lux (North Carolina) @cor_de_lux

Cor de Lux was part of the inaugural Risers Fest in 2023 at Washington DC’s Hook Hall in the Petworth neighborhood of NW Washington DC on Sunday, August 20, 2023.

North Carolina’s Cor De Lux a post-punk dream-pop band that has created an empyreal tapestry of sound and emotion. The bands songs are both politically-charged with philosophical numbers and boasting with trickles of garage, and progressive fury. There is a nod to the haunting chanson gothique duets of Lee Hazlewood and Serge Gainsbourg, but the atmospheric hooks and Dawn’s breathy vocals echo Sonic Youth, Fugazi, and the Pixies.

NICOLE YUN (NYC) @sonicyun

Nicole Yun headlined the inaugural Risers Fest in 2023 at Washington DC’s Hook Hall in the Petworth neighborhood of NW Washington DC on Sunday, August 20, 2023. Nicole Yun’s album ‘Matter’ was Dave Mann’s (founder of Risers Fest) album of the year in 2023. Please give Nicole Yun a follow and buy her music.

As a member of Eternal Summers, Nicole Yun was part of a trio crafting dreamy shoegaze and indie rock-flavored music. On her own, her tastes run more towards the mainstream of ‘90s alternative, as evidenced by the sounds captured on her debut solo album, 2019’s Paper Suit.

After a decade of touring, recording, and living as the driving force behind Eternal Summers, Yun felt like she needed a break. She spent her time working a series of odd jobs, setting up house shows, and pondering her next move in life. Seeing her friends embark on grown-up careers and lives, she contemplated setting aside music and following them. Instead, she felt a creative surge and began writing songs for a solo project. She sent demos to two producers — Ava Luna’s Julian Fader in NYC and Bleeding Rainbow’s Robert Garcia — with an eye towards recording an album. Yun and Fader assembled a team of luminaries to fill in her songs during the New York sessions. Guided by Voices’ Doug Gillard and Maxïmo Park’s Duncan Lloyd provided lead guitar, ex-Cloud Nothings member Joe Boyer added a variety of keys, Jacob Sloan of the Pains of Being Pure at Heart contributed bass, and Fader played drums. In Philadelphia, Garcia handled most of the instruments. The sound they created was informed by Yun’s love of the alternative rock of the ‘90s, from baggy indie dance and Brit-pop to inward-looking singer/songwriters. Her own stated goal for the LP was to make an album that sounded like a “me-fronted Lemonheads.” The eight-song album, titled Paper Suit, was issued in June 2019 by Kanine Records. ~ Tim Sendra, Rovi taken in Washington D.
