FOTOCRIME is singer/guitarist/producer Ryan Patterson, guitarist Nick Thieneman, and bassist Will Allard. On a foundation of danceable, battle hymn drum machines and layered synths, Fotocrime is known for their transcendent electronic-meets-organic post-punk with driving bass, chiming guitars, and Patterson's unmistakable baritone.

Formed in early 2017, Fotocrime released two EPs that year, Always Hell and Always Night, followed by their first full-length album Principle Of Pain on Auxiliary/Golden Antenna in 2018. Their second and third albums, South Of Heaven (2020) and Heart Of Crime (2021), were released by Profound Lore Records and in 2022 Fotocrime self-released Alcoves, a collection of cover songs from Leonard Cohen, Portishead, Discharge, and others.

Over the past half-decade, Fotocrime has toured the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Europe multiple times over on shows and tours with Nitzer Ebb, Soft Kill, Hide, Crippled Black Phoenix, Bleakness, Russian Circles, Emma Ruth Rundle, Jawbox, and Pop.1280, among others, and appeared at venerable festivals Roadburn, Amplifest, and Electric Funeral.

Fotocrime’s fourth album and first for new label home Artoffact Records, Accelerated finds the band leaping forward from their signature darkwave-leaning post-punk into new territory. The album includes electronic rock anthems, soulful sophisti-pop, minimal synth punk, hints of Italo Disco, and dreamy art rock.

LANA DEL RABIES is the dark electronic, genre-bridging solo project of Phoenix based musician, producer and multimedia artist Sam An. The project originated as experimental music that referenced the more ominous aspects of modern pop music made by women (like that of Lana Del Rey). Lana Del Rabies’ music currently incorporates industrial, gothic noise and metal, with experimental, darkwave and ambient sonic elements. Her work embodies discordant spaces between the occult and the political, personal trauma and collective grief, and brutality and benediction.

Her first two records, In The End I Am A Beast and Shadow World, were released by Los Angeles based label Deathbomb Arc, describing her sound as “a passion for horror soundtracks translated into a futuristic brand of goth that still loves the technologically curious days of early death rock, addressing the ever growing PTSD of American society. LDR is a dreamlike voice, at once conquering while still lost in the haze."

Her 3rd full length album, STREGA BEATA, was released on the esteemed experimental label Gilgongo Records. The record has received acclaim from The Quietus, Metal Hammer, DJ Mag, and more.

TRACE AMOUNT is the solo project of Brooklyn-based producer, vocalist, and visual artist, Brandon Gallagher. First conceived in 2019, Trace Amount took shape during the early stages of the pandemic, inspired by the grim realities of life in New York City at that time, and has evolved at a lightning pace ever since.

The sound is a harsh strain of industrial music, evoking apocalyptic dread through primal rhythms, layers of synth and noise, and Gallagher’s distorted moans and screams. Decibel Magazine has hailed Trace Amount as a “one-man sonic demolition unit”; CVLT Nation has termed it, an “experimental industrial onslaught”; Post-Punk.com has warned, “Trace Amount is not for the faint of heart.”

Anti Body Language, the debut full-length album by TRACE AMOUNT, was released via Federal Prisoner, the label founded by multi-disciplinary artists Greg Puciato (Dilinger Escape Plan) and Jesse Draxler.
