Brooklyn-based artist Nico Fox, known professionally as Real Clothes, blends melancholy Appalachian folk with industrial rhythms, creating a sound fans describe as "haunted Sade" and
"apocalypse pop." With four albums and numerous singles, including her latest, Undone by You, her music delves into themes of betrayal, revenge, and obsession.
Beyond music, Fox is also a writer and the author of The Art of Transmutation, a poetry collection available in English and Haitian Kreyòl.

Fury Young is an artland rocker and surrealist rapper who grew up in downtown NYC in the 1990s. For years he has worked in music championing voices of other artists with FREER Records (formerly Die Jim Crow) - the first label in America for musicians in prison and formerly incarcerated. All the while, Fury was working on songs of his own that he never had time to finish or release. That changed in October 2023 with the debut of "X Ray," Fury's first song on streaming. Fury will be releasing a full length album this summer.
