Jess Cornelius’ latest single, “No Difference,” was featured by NPR’s All Songs Considered as well as Paste Magazine, Brooklyn Vegan, Hype Machine and Uproxx, who called it “a striking stateside introduction.” Part fatalistic resignation, part zen-leaning self-help mantra —and showcasing Cornelius's uniquely shape-shifting vocals— it was added to Gorilla vs Bear’s Best Songs of 2019 playlist and Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist, as well as reaching #1 on Australia’s AMRAP Community Radio
Chart.
Now based in LA, New Zealand-born and raised Jess Cornelius grew up musically in Australia, where she released three critically acclaimed albums with her Melbourne-based project Teeth & Tongue, receiving nominations for the Australian Music Prize and a J-Award in 2016. In 2017 she stepped away from the Teeth & Tongue moniker and released the minimal and stripped-back ‘Nothing is Lost’ EP under her own name before embarking on a US-wide tour with Paul Kelly.
SARAH BETHE NELSON
There is a pulsing radiance resonating from Sarah Bethe Nelson’s aptly titled third studio album, Weird Glow. You can hear it right from the first cut. “Desert Song” opens with instantly catchy electric guitar riffs – the ragged old amp distortion almost seems to be growling alongside her gauzy vocals in a beauty-and-beast contrast. There are other passages where her breathy singing recalls moments of bygone 1990s indie rock. The transcendent and catchy “Too Rich” invokes memories of the British C86 sound crosspollinated with the ethereal dream-pop of the same era.
Throughout this alluring album, Sarah Bethe’s native California roots vine upward and out toward the sunshine. With its subtle guitar jangle, delicately descending melodies, and romantic lyrics, the title-track taps into veins of yesteryear’s West Coast canyon-rock sound. In a live setting, Nelson and longtime bandmate Rusty Miller play together with an extra sensory perception in their communication that sounds like they’re reading each other’s musical minds.
