Katie Ellen

This week on our livestream show on Vans Channel 66, we'll be chatting with Anika Pyle (Chumped, Katie Ellen, etc) and she'll be playing an acoustic set live on the show!

Anika Pyle (of Chumped, Katie Ellen, and more) incorporates spoken word, electronics, folk music and more into her first proper solo album, which was inspired by the death of her father and is her most personal and direct work yet.

”I knew I was supposed to like Neil Young but a lot of the 'standards' admittedly are not for me. Eventually I asked Laura and her husband Mike to get me started somewhere, and months later, I would spend nights traveling alone on tour with 'After The Gold Rush' on repeat in my headphones,” Jeff says.

This week's Notable Releases include rising UK art rockers Squid, hip hop breakthroughs from EarthGang and IDK, the debut EP from indie-punk supertrio Sheena Anika & Augusta, and more.
