ISHI ENLISTS CAPYAC FOR GROOVY “GOODY GOODY” REMIX (FT.CURE FOR PARANOIA AND RUDI DEVINO)
ISHI ENLISTS CAPYAC FOR GROOVY “GOODY GOODY” REMIX (FT.CURE FOR PARANOIA AND RUDI DEVINO)
Having already geared up for the release of his long-awaited third studio album later this year, electronic outfit Ishi has now returned to unveil a third remix after signing with his new label: Icons Creating Evil Art. Ishi teams up with fellow Texans CAPYAC to flip his song “Goody Goody” with their electronic influences of jazz, funk and hip hop.
CAPYAC explains, “We decided, in the tremendous silence of an early summer evening, to remix a song by Dallas musician Ishi. After various attempts at transmutation, in our normal style of our CAPYAC remixes, we decided a scrambled egg approach fit best. The 2nd verse became the first, first verse became the bridge, each chapter of the song harking back to that musical egg we all know and love. We brought in Rudi Devino, a long time collaborator based in Austin to add some words to the mix. And in a matter of a few days, we finished the remix and continued our slow walk toward that magnificent and terrifying unknown we call ‘the incessant demand for consistency in the mechanical teeth of Spotify’s relevancy incinerator.’”
Ishi’s ability to successfully walk the line between an ambitious studio act and a multi-sensory live experience allows him to engage the audience in an uplifting celebration of life. His subtle undertones of inner exploration combine to create a concert experience that is unequivocally one-of-a-kind. Each night, Ishi intends to create an entirely unique environment of mysticism, awareness, love and acceptance. Adored by fans and critics alike, there is no denying that Ishi is an immersive experience that everyone should discover.
Fans have been waiting eight long years for the next album that is expected to drop in Autumn 2021 under Swedish indie label Icons Creating Evil Art, the home of Flora Cash, Summer Heart, and Glamour Hammer. It will be titled Sweet Gold and feature the hit singles “Not My Girl” and “Lo-Fi Love Affair” and the new single “Goody Goody.”
Following the successful release of the Yuksek remix of “Not My Girl” (supported by the likes of A-Trak, Kiss FM, Ministry of Sound, Amazing Radio etc.) and a remix collaboration with the internationally acclaimed EDM-producer Oliver Nelson, Ishi now releases his third remix “Goody Goody (Capyac’s Good Mix)” via Icons Creating Evil Art.
CAPYAC is a surreal dance act with as much Berlin/Detroit/French electronic influences as jazz, funk and the swirl of modern genres mixed in. Started in Austin, TX with a consortium of collaborators, the founding duo is now based in Los Angeles, CA regularly featuring guest vocalists, dance troupes, and fish mongers to elate and enlighten.
Covered by FADER, EARMILK, High Snobiety, KCRW, Magnetic Magazine and more, their music spans genres while appealing to purists and everyday listeners alike. Appearing alongside CLASSIXX, Washed Out, Holy Ghost, Tennyson and more; since 2016 they have performed 350+ shows across the US, MX and throughout Europe to much acclaim and confused smiles.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”
BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.
“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.
The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
The song’s rough edges make it captivating, which is better than polish, which would have smoothed it out. This way of thinking fits with the theme: hope isn’t naive here; it’s realistic and steady. It speaks to people who like simple songs and value honesty over artifice.
“It’s All Good” is an engaging and approachable phrase that offers context for an artist who is confident and clear about their artistic vision. This is the kind of song you listen to when you need some honest encouragement to remember that just being human can help you move forward. This is only the first chapter of something serious, so expect more from him.
