“Music licensing queen.” – Wall Street Journal

“Relentlessly hooky and ridiculously accessible.” – Entertainment Weekly

The Wall Street Journal dubbed musician Salme Dahlstrom a “music licensing queen” when, like Moby before her, she managed to license every track from her 2008 album The Acid Cowgirl Audio Trade to various corporations and television programs.

At the time, Dahlstrom, who produces, performs, edits, and mixes all of her tracks herself, was not only just getting noticed, she was just getting started. “C’mon Y’All,” one of catchiest numbers on an album of catchy numbers, climbed Billboard’s Dance Chart and eventually received prominent placements in major ad campaigns for CoverGirl, Suave, and Kellogg’s that ran on primetime network television for months.

While managing what inevitably became a highly successful licensing business, Dahlstrom continued to do the work that got her there, and will now release “Pop Propaganda Volume 2: Retro Funk Soul Junction” on September 16^th, 2014.  The new six-song collection is preceded by the single “Pop Ur Heart Out” – streaming now via Entertainment Weekly which calls the song “Relentlessly hooky and ridiculously accessible.”

About “Pop Ur Heart Out,” Dahlstrom says, “I felt like bringing some soul and poetry to the party.  I used organic instruments - piano and acoustic guitar - and mixed them with glitch effects and Kaoss Pad to give it an electronic edge. It's one of my new favorites!”

“Pop Propaganda Volume 2: Retro Funk Soul Junction” by Salme Dahlstrom is scheduled for release on September 16^th, 2014 via Kontainer Music.  The first single “Pop Ur Heart Out” arrives on August 5^th, 2014, accompanied by a trio of remixes of the track by SpekrFreks, DJ Phunkae, and Quadrat Beat on August 26^th, 2014.

Salme Dahlstrom is available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.

“Complex and dreamlike” –USA Today

The upcoming album The Sea (July 22, Post Planetary) documents the end of a very long relationship, and is the first One Finger Riot full-length since a slew of releases by one-man-band Faris McReynolds in 2012, which included two from One  Finger Riot and second pair from his now-shuttered ExDetectives moniker.  A prolific creator, all of this musical work is in addition to McReynolds’ “day job” as a gallery-backed painter.

The album’s latest single is its title track, of which McReynolds explains, “I was staring at the beach in Big Sur thinking about how all of these things that don't work out in life are just part of the evolution of what eventually will.”  The track is streaming and available for download now via Nylon Guys.

“This is the first record I’ve seen all the way through by myself,” he says of The Sea, “and I think the first that sounds like it.  It sounds like my previous records, but rolled into something more coherent and upright.”

McReynolds goes on to curiously describe the sound of The Sea as “punk-simple, but not punk-modulated. There’s a guy in the outskirts of L.A. who built me a lot of inexpensive, simple, gear to get the sounds I am after. I rely on cheap random gear from the past or one-off devices.  A lot of Radio Shack and re-purposed pre-amps.”

One of the sounds prevalent throughout the record is the dry fuzz guitar tone that McReynolds says is meant to mimic “the sound my Dad’s stereo made when I would plug my bass into the mic input as a kid.”
