Parallel Thought :: ConductHer Releases ‘GEMINI SEASON’

Posted on August 1, 2019 | Leave a comment

After cutting her teeth as a member of experimental duo ChurchCough, 2019 seems to have found ConductHer making major strides in her personal journey of creation.  After closing up 2019 with the releases of the solo venture Female Masturbation and the collective project ChurchCough & Friends, ConductHer hit the production and writing vibes heavy.  GEMINI SEASON presents everything you want to see in the progression of the artists you dig : intriguing and thought-provoking writing, lush and vivid production, and the confidence that comes with getting multiple projects under your belt.  GEMINI SEASON, in all honesty, is more of a statement than it is an album, and it’s certainly a statement worth taking in and considering.  Check out the project, share it around and drop ConductHer a couple of bucks for the download if you can spare it.

Social Network :: ChurchCough Celebrates Collaboration With ‘ChurchCough & Friends’

Like George Clinton once said, ‘the funk can not only move, it can remove’.  In my opinion, he meant removal in the sense of healing, and the healing power of music is undeniable.  With that in mind, I think of ChurchCough as both therapeutic and entertaining the way that they bask in positive outlooks and affirmations.  For ChurchCough & Friends, if it’s not obvious by the title, ConductHer and NonsenseSpence called in the help of some fellow like-minded artists to multiply the positive vibes.  I’m honored to have been a part of this project alongside Token, Eddie Baty, and Lemur & Dream Puppy.  Check it out, share it around, and keep supporting your local creatives!

ConductHer, one half of ChurchCough, has been doubling down on the workload in the midst of producing the group’s upcoming new release.  The second workload has involved a handful of San Marcos-based female musicians collaborating to examine the feminine mystique and sexuality in the Information Age.  Female Masturbation, co-curated by Token, features contributions from Lemur & Franks, Brandix and Rachel Williams.  After a recent successful album release show, the duo is looking to spread the word about the project, so definitely give it a listen and a share.

Pride Rhymes :: ConductHer Drops ‘Golden Gays’

Posted on August 9, 2018 | Leave a comment

Identity is a very key part to hip-hop, as anything less than the truth is glaringly obvious when it comes to the beats and rhymes.  Clearly, ConductHer (of ChurchCough) is completely aware of this fact.  She is currently deep in the trenches producing ChurchCough‘s upcoming release, but she took the time to drop Golden Gays, a statement on being honest to yourself, your feelings, and the people close to you when it comes to attraction.  ConductHer weaves her tale through the bombastic track, making sure to include very key points such as not falling into societal norms by default, trusting those feelings you may not understand, and avoiding looking for love in all the wrong places.  It’s been a pleasure watching ConductHer grow as a producer, songwriter and a person, and I look forward to more expressions of self and reflections on life from her.  Be sure to like the track if you’re feeling it, leave a comment, and share it around so others can benefit from shared truths.

Melodic Motivation :: ChurchCough Collaborates With Token On ‘Billie Jean’

Posted on July 18, 2018 | Leave a comment

The theme of this week seems to be positive affirmations.  The latest to broadcast the importance of them is the dynamic duo ChurchCough, located in San Marcos.  With the help of Token, the trio gets down to some core insight on the cyclical nature of nature via observations, allusions to positive affirmations that already exist in the sphere of pop culture, and straight-forward testimonials of personal experience in their day to day walks.  Billie Jean is a strong lead single for the upcoming album, which will feature collaborations with a wide range of artists (including yours truly).  Add that bit of wonderful cover art from Candid (Eddie Baty), and it really will have you wondering…

Is this real or all a dream…?

Permanent Vacation :: ChurchCough And Nathan Bailey Combine Forces For ‘Off’

Posted on November 21, 2017 | Leave a comment

When ConductHer and NonsenseSpence first joined up to form ChurchCough, I was immediately interested in their approach and aesthetic… it reminded me of the most free spirited aspects of bands like Yacht and Hot Chip.  The beats are tight and driving, but the vocals are sparse and stream of consciousness.    Their debut video, Creek, was a nice thunderclap in the distance… a sense that a storm was coming.  For Off, the crew reconnected with Nathan Bailey, and this time you’re dropped right into the eye of the hurricane of creativity.  The video is driven by a handful of strong images, immaculate lighting and a sense of purpose that comes off as a statement piece.  If this is an indication of what’s to come for ChurchCough, I’m doubling down on my seat for this ride.

Quiet Storm :: ChurchCough Enters The Game

Posted on July 19, 2017 | Leave a comment

San Marcos has always been a nurturing haven for creative souls, and over the years, the city has really seemed to fall into one of the best creative strides it has ever been in.  Many, many groups are arriving on what has become a scene in flux, and yet, these groups are still finding inspiration and ways to thrive.  ChurchCough, made up of members ConductHer and NonsenseSpence, is one of the latest to arrive, and their ambient sound is a breath of fresh air on a scene heavy with rock, hip hop and electronic music.  I am looking forward to hearing more from them, but for now, this self-titled debut project will hold me over just fine.
