Corinne Stevie‘s Amalgam Nation EP album has been mysteriously brewing for the last two years and today she happy to know that its finally ready to be served. According to the artist/musician, “Amalgam Nation is a melting pot of many things, people, cultures, ideas, and emotions. Allow your self to get a taste of musical stew that is filled with many flavors and sounds. Amalgam Nation is about human connectedness.”
Girls’ lead-singer, Christopher Owens, was raised by the Children of God cult, better now known as The Family International. A hefty portion of his adolescence was filled with major losses within his family: his father left the family when Owen was young, his younger brother died due to medical complications and because the cult didn’t believe in receiving clinical treatment, and Owens’ mom was forced to travel around the world to spread the word of the cult. Because of their radical beliefs, Owens left, but the imprint of their ideology is apparent in Girls’ work, especially on their sophomore LP Father, Son, Holy Ghost.
