The brainchild of musical polymath Tyler “Fournames” Fortney, Cuffed is a project crafted to defy conformity while paying tribute to the soundtrack of his youth. Diving deep into a realm of his own creation, the lifelong Angeleno combines elements of Depeche Mode, Killing Joke, and Sisters of Mercy, processing these lifelong influences through his own lifetime of creation and sonic exploration.
Cuffed’s music is more than just a blend of haunting melodies and pulsating synths; it’s a form of therapy for this 20-year music veteran and first-time solo artist. Having spent his career working with notable artists boygenius, The Neighbourhood, She Wants Revenge, Daniel Ash, Mark Hoppus, and Scarypoolparty among others, Fortney felt it was time to channel his inner demons into something raw and real. With his current series of releases, Cuffed invites you to step into a world where nostalgia meets innovation, and where music is more than just a series of notes – it’s an emotional journey, as he navigates the shadows of society’s underbelly, one synth-laden track at a time.
Russian-born, but internet-raised, NOANGELSS is crafting her own world through sound and poetry, addressing timeless questions about purpose, love, and overcoming fear. With genre-bending, heavy vocals, and vibrant storytelling, NOANGELSS first made her mark with a series of singles and the album Gobbler, featuring the dreamy closing track, “The Gatherer and The Gander,” produced by BLACKAWASAKI. Her music is a complex orchestra of harsh, booming sounds intertwined with a velvety yet sharp voice, layered with intricate details.
