Young Prisms are a San Francisco based psychedelic shoegaze band formed by life-long friends Matt Allen and Giovanni Betteo along with Betteo's partner Stefanie Hodapp and Brooklyn based drummer Jordan Silbert. After a debut EP on the buzzy Mexican Summer records in 2009, Young Prisms released two LP's on Kanine Records (Friends For Now 2011, In Between 2012) along with various limited edition 7" and cassette singles. After an eight year hiatus, Young Prisms are slated to release their third LP in 2021.

Their music is characterized by dreamy guitar textures, hazy vocals, and swirling melodies that transport listeners into a mesmerizing sonic landscape. Drawing inspiration from bands like No Joy, Tamaryn, Ringo Deathstarr, and Pinkshinyultrablast among others*, Young Prisms have carved out their own unique sound within the genre of psychedelic shoegaze.

With their previous releases receiving critical acclaim for their ethereal atmospheres and captivating songwriting, fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming album from *Young Prisms*. Stay tuned for more mind-bending tunes as they continue to push the boundaries of psychedelic shoegaze music.

Since its inception, Fire Talk has consistently released groundbreaking albums across various genres including indie rock, dream pop, and experimental electronic.

Whether you're searching for your next favorite band or looking to expand your musical horizons, Fire Talk is sure to have something that will captivate your ears.

Forming in 2009, with release of a self-titled EP on esteemed indie tastemaker Mexican Summer followed by two full lengths (2011's Friends For Now and 2012's In Between) on Kanine Records. Coming of age during a time where the band's blend of introspective shoegaze and gauze-laden guitar earned them tours with bands like the Radio Dept, Dum Dum Girls, A Place to Bury Strangers and Moon Duo, Young Prisms never quite reached the same heights of commercial success afforded to some of their peers. At its core, Drifter is about the human experience and finding a balance between the thrills and intensity of wanting - another person, a better life - and the quiet rewards of finding peace in domesticity, whatever shape that may take. As the band explains, the central chorus of the lead single 'I believe in you, honeydew' changes meaning as you realize that you can't fix things, but you can figure out how to believe in yourself.' In many ways, Drifter feels like a homecoming - throughout the flux of growing older and not necessarily growing up in the ways you expected, the band has found their footing with the time afforded when you finally take the pressure off. It's a record that could have only been made with real passage of time, through the world-weary vantage point of a group of friends that can't stop coming back to each other. Recorded from June 2020 through February 2021 and produced by Shaun Durkan (Weekend, Soft Kill) and mastered by Heba Kadry (Slowdive, Bjork, Japanese Breakfast).
