Allison Ponthier

Born from the beautifully strange imagination of a wide-eyed misfit raised in the Dallas outskirts, Allison Ponthier’s songwriting hints at her country roots through her heart-on-sleeve storytelling and crystalline vocal work. Her lyrics whimsically portray the lucid confessions of a shy teen coming to terms with her queer sexuality in a Texas suburb much like the football-obsessed town of Friday Night Lights, further heightened to create a world inspired by the camp warped eccentricities of Henry Selick, Vincent Price and Elvira. 

Allison’s music and visuals follow her own self-reflection as she left the Bible Belt for Brooklyn in search of community despite not knowing anyone in New York—an initially disastrous move that ultimately inspired her own breakthrough on both a personal and artistic level. Overwhelmed, friendless and struggling to keep up with rent, Allison began embracing the calamity of being a self-identified goody-two-shoes Texan living in the epicenter of brazen East Coast hipsterdom. Bringing such a depth of attention to every aspect of her music, Ponthier began building an extravagantly realized version of the world she retreated into as a kid back in Texas: a place where difference is endlessly celebrated.

Beck

As the title of his 14th album Hyperspace would seem to imply, eight-time Grammy winner Beck has traveled light years from his emergence as a reluctant generational spokesperson when “Loser” exploded from a rejected 1992 demo into a ubiquitous 1994 smash. In the decades since, Beck's singular career has seen him utilize all manners and eras of music, blurring boundaries and blazing a path into the future while simultaneously foraging through the past. 

Surfacing just as alternative rock went mainstream with his 1994 debut Mellow Gold, Beck quickly confounded expectations. But the album that first cemented Beck’s place in the pantheon was 1996’s Best Alternative Grammy winner Odelay. Touching on all of Beck's obsessions, Odelay remains a key cultural touchstone. 

From the world-tripping atmospherics of 1998's Mutations and the fluorescent funk of 1999's Midnite Vultures, through the somber reflections of 2002's Sea Change, 2005's platinum Guero and 2006's sprawling The Information, no Beck record has ever sounded like its predecessor. After 2008's acclaimed Modern Guilt, Beck eschewed the typical album/tour/repeat grind. Instead, he expanded into multi-media endeavors, including a live re-imagining of David Bowie's Sound and Vision and the creation of Beck Hansen's Song Reader, originally released by McSweeney’s as 20 individual pieces of sheet music. Beck's creative tide continued unabated with standalone singles, life-affirming headline dates, and unforgettable Song Reader events in which Beck and eclectic line-ups brought the book to life. 

Beck opened 2014 with Morning Phase, which generated a unanimous chorus of critical acclaim, plus three Grammys (including Album of the Year) at the 2015 Grammys. The music has flowed from Beck without pause since: from globe-spanning live shows to the psych-dance jams “Dreams” & “Wow,” from sublime collaborations with Chemical Brothers, Flume and Cage the Elephant to his 13th LP Colors, hailed by Rolling Stone as a “euphoric blast of experimental pop.” 

Beck’s latest opus Hyperspace arrived in late 2019, preceded by the stunning surprise single, “Saw Lightning.” A meditation on music’s effect to transport us into the unknown, it’ll take you where you didn’t know you needed to go.
