Illuminati Hotties – POWER

Description

Tenderpunk pioneer illuminati hotties is the musical project founded by producer / writer Sarah Tudzin. The new self- produced album, ‘POWER’, with co-production by John Congleton (St. Vincent, Death Cab For Cutie), features the hotties’ trademark wit and vibrancy and is undeniably fun.
Tuzdin says of lead single, ‘Let Me In’: “I find that something I have in common with most people that I talk to lately is the immense fear of and inability to be alone with ourselves. Constant motion, avoidance, restlessness – anything to keep myself from stagnating have always been my coping mechanisms when my inner monologue starts to get loud.” ‘POWER’ also features Cavetown on single ‘Didn’t’.
To support the album, the band are confirmed for an NPR Tiny Desk performance and they kick off a US / Canada headlining tour September through to November. Previous tours include support dates for boygenius, Death Cab For Cutie, Julien Baker, The Linda Lindas, The Beths Carly Rae Jepsen, plus festival appearances at Pitchfork Music Festival.
Songs by Illuminati Hotties appear in ‘Fortnite’ and Netflix as well. The previous album, 2001’s ‘Let Me Do One More’, landed on multiple Best Of lists, including NY Times, LA Times, NPR, Spin, Paste, Consequence, Pitchfork and Esquire. Tuzdin contributed a song for ‘Star Wars’ spinoff show ‘Ashoka’, collaborated with Duck’s LTD, and produced music for Pom Pom Squad, Speed Ortiz, and Boygenius. Her work with Boygenius was nominated for three GRAMMY Awards and won Best Alternative Music album.
