SIMPLETON, the third album from multi-platinum indie-rock singer/songwriter YOT CLUB, dismantles the utopian view of the American suburbs, treating finely manicured life as a mirage. Across its 13 tracks, the LP wrestles with how curated feeds and predictable routines can blur, and even erase, empathy and responsibility, creating a world where difficult questions and harsh realities are easy to ignore. In 2019, Ryan Kaiser started Yot Club in his college dorm, crafting a lo-fi, classically cool indie rock sound grounded under a dreamlike haze. Two years later, his breakthrough single “YKWIM?” quickly reached viral status on TikTok (today, it’s been streamed more than 1 billion times) and has since taken him around the world at festivals like Treefort, Kilby Block Party and Pitchfork Paris. But even as his personal geography has shifted – to Nashville, New York, Philadelphia and now LA – the suburban logic he grew up with continues to color his writing. At one point in Kaiser’s life, his surroundings were just scenery; now, as his understanding of the world and his place in it have grown, they read differently – a learned sense of perspective that marks his songs. “When I first started, I was posting music into the void with no expectations that anyone would hear it,” he says. “I feel more ready now to write about something nuanced, whereas a few years ago I’d probably just say, ‘I’ll write about my dog.’ I've realized it all has to mean something – otherwise, what’s the point?” Website Instagram   zzzahara is a US singer songwriter, born and raised in Highland Park, Los Angeles to Mexican & Filipino parents and previously part of The Simps duo alongside Eyedress. zzzahara’s music wades into the deep waters of love, lust, and self-discovery in a part of the world where artifice and authenticity co-exist. Emerging from the heart of LA’s alternative music scene, their sound is raw in feeling and rebellious by nature. Their 2022 debut album, Liminal Spaces, chronicles a coming-of-age in Highland Park, following painful childhood memories through to late-night, live-fast coping mechanisms, and the changes the neighbourhood has endured over the same period of time. Their 2023 follow-up, Tender, marked a period of slowing down, looking inward, and embracing a softer side of being. Latest release 'Spiral Your Way Out' (2025) marks another sonic evolution as much as an emotional one. Zzzahara’s songs have always come wrapped in a warm glow that reflects how they were written–namely at home in their bedroom. That glow remains on‘Spiral Your Way Out’, but it also packs an ambitious streak and a gutsy punch. Taking a more collaborative approach than usual, Zzzahara worked with a range of producers including Jorge Elbrecht (Japanese Breakfast, No Joy, Sky Ferreira), Sarah Tudzin (boygenius / Cloud Nothings / The Armed), former Ducktails guitarist Alex Craig (Jelani Aryeh / re6ce)and Halsey tour drummer Franco Reid, who helped harness their intimate style of writing and blow it up into something more panoptic.“
