Catherine Moan is the time-bending electronic synth pop project from Los Angeles based artist Angel Jefferson. Her work, often produced in isolation, is melancholic yet optimistic electro-pop about being queer in America. Catherine Moan projects a unique blend of 80s new wave, 00s synth pop, and contemporary electronic dance music. And with witty, intimate lyrics, she sets a dark but cheeky tone. In 2021 she released her debut album Chain Reaction and has since released a handful of singles. With her sophomore album on the way, she is now touring and playing shows.

Inner Magic is a new group from Los Angeles featuring Adam Miller (Chromatics) and Jeff Schroeder (Smashing Pumpkins). Introduced to each other by friends, the two quickly bonded over their mutual love of Felt and Krautrock. In February 2026, Inner Magic released their debut single consisting of the critically acclaimed “Underground” and a cover of Spacemen 3’s “Feelin’ Just Fine.”

The dual forces of shadow and light, despair and hope, frustration and catharsis are at play in the music of Cupid & Psyche, the Los Angeles-based indie rock duo of Michael Vidal and Juan Velasquez. First gaining recognition in the late aughts as members of the punk band Abe Vigoda, whose 2010 album Crush was named one of the “Best 50 Albums of the 2010s” by Pitchfork, the two have reunited as collaborators for the first time in a decade.

Finding themselves unmotivated by the pandemic, the two proposed going back into a practice room just to “make a bunch of noise,” Vidal says. As they reconnected over a cacophony of guitar feedback, the two felt a surge of creativity and feeling of ease—the kind only a close friend could inspire. Soon, their cathartic jam sessions would birth the emotionally resonant songs that appear on their debut album, Romantic Music.
