Lo-fi lullaby maker Worn-Tin is just a boy who grew up skating in West LA.
He writes, records, and performs every element of his songs using only analog and outboard equipment, taking inspiration from a multitude of artists such as Modest Mouse, R. Stevie Moore and Jessie’s Candy and The Fit Bit.
Much like Worn-tin’s hyperactive mind, his sounds and lyrics are sprawling: his vocals range from the type of cadence and vulnerability that would make Dongo the ringworm smile, to distorted, psychedelic whaling and synths.
That same lucid unpredictability has become the staple of his live shows.
As Kyle Huewe of ArtsEditor puts it, "Such estranged music cannot fit singular guidelines, singular influence. Few artists embody such confidence, such shamelessness, atop a stage, embracing the weird, awe-inspiring feats of performance personality."
His new song, "Til I See You Again", takes the project in a new direction, towards the psych-pop of Panda Bear and Black Moth Super Rainbow.
Freak Nature Puppets is an DIY puppet collective of multi-hyphenate artists, forming in Los Angeles in 2023.
Freak Nature has developed a reputation for their wild live shows that bridge the gap between the irreverent alt-comedy of Adult Swim, the showstopping theatricality of Bread and Puppet Theater, and the whimsical energy of Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Their shows constantly upend expectations, as do their nontraditional puppet designs. They have performed and collaborated with a wide range of talent across the music and comedy worlds, including John C Reilly, Jack Black, Cherry Glazerr, Neil Hamburger, and Cults.
