The young woman was inspired by Feist and at first was really drawn towards the minimalist indie folk sound. Once she arrived in Montreal, she started leaning towards a more rock sound. She traded her acoustic instrument for an electric one and two years later, her first album Première Apparition was named on the long list of the prestigious Polaris Prize, and reached the top of Montréal’s university radio year-end, best-of chart for French albums. The new darling of critics and college radio performed at all of Quebec’s big festivals (Noce, FME, Frimat, FEQ, Festif) and even tested the waters in France (MaMA, Aurores Montréal) before returning home to record Accident, an EP with a touch of punk, indie-pop and tropical vibes. This astonishing, fertile sound exploration has led her to her second full-length album Musivision, due out on April 23rd via Bonsound.

Lala Lala, Elton Aura
Lala Lala “I want total freedom, total possibility, total acceptance. I want to fall in love with the rock. ”That’s how Lillie West describes the theme of “DIVER,” the song she calls the thesis of Lala Lala’s third record, I Want The Door To Open. The rock in question is a reference to Sisyphus, the mythical figure doomed by the gods to forever push a boulder up from the depths of hell. To West, it is the perfect metaphor for “the labor of living, of figuring out who you are, what’s wrong with you, what’s right with you,” she says. “I think it’s easy to feel like we keep making the same mistakes over and over again, that we never learn, that we’re Sisyphus; but time is actually a spiral that we move up. The key is falling in love with the labor of walking up the mountain.” Elton Aura Elton Aura is a Chicago born rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer. Growing up in the Fox Valley suburbs, he was raised in a family of pastors which developed his spiritual sensibility in both his approach to music and life.

By the time he was in high school, he discovered Motown soul, funk, and rap which prompted him to write, sing, rap, & record on his own. By the time he was seventeen, he created a band called, “The Art of Cool” mixing hip hop, funk, rock, and r&b.In 2013, Elton moved to Chicago and joined a community with upcoming musicians and artists which led to collaborations with some of Chicago’s most promising talent.

In 2018, he followed up with a debut solo project, “Elevated EP” featuring his hit single, “Callin”.

They found widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the hit indie film Little Miss Sunshine. Signing with revered indie, Anti-, the band delivered A Mad and Faithful Telling in early 2008, reaching the number nine slot on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
