Youthquaker’s first album Projections will be released as a series of EPs, Volume I coming this Summer. The idea for Youthquaker was inspired by a love of 60’s / 70’s music and film mixed with 90’s Trip Hop as well as the famous Youthquake movement of 1960s fashion, musical and cultural movement coined by Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief Diana Vreeland in 1965. Clockwork was also released on May 12th alongside the instrumental version as BROMANCE #16. A world so advanced, there is nothing to it except light, shape, and a moment.” The creative direction for Clockwork pays homage to “Ghost in the Shell’s thermoptic fight scene, Superman’s “Phantom Zone,” The Blow Up’s plexi photo shoot scene, and artist James Turrell’s work.Įarly this year, Illangelo (producer of The Weeknd, Drake and Wiz Khalifa) and Phlo Finister connected to collaborate on what was supposed to be a song for a Bromance Records compilation and quickly turned into musical love affair that culminated in the birth of a new band called Youthquaker.

“We wanted to do something which felt futuristic, but at the same time was very simple and stripped back.

The Poster Girl EP is out now on Night Beach Records.Clockwork was directed by Lance Drake (Rob Roy ‘Carmencita’) who drew inspiration from a very stark and graphic space. For their remix – premiered here – production duo D-E-W-L, soften it up slightly, replacing the splintered beats with layered synths and fractured, almost ghostly backing vocals. EP highlight Killer On The Road is built around a glowering beat, which crawls along with Finister's airy vocal.

Produced by Benny Cassette and Andrew Dawson, it's full of big crunchy beats, double-time drum claps and lyrics that aim to recontextualise the tropes of R&B. While the mixtape garnered some blog buzz, the real proof of her avant garde R&B proclamations comes in the shape of new EP, Poster Girl.

Released in late 2011, her free Crown Gold mixtape aimed to deliver 'classic R&B, but.more avant garde', and included mash-ups of songs from the likes of the Doors, Dr Dre, Nancy Sinatra and Mobb Deep. From this obsession, and the early performances she'd started doing around LA, was born the new moniker, Phlo Finister. This move into the world of fashion lead to her obsession with the 1960s Youthquake movement, an idea that the fashion and music worlds of that time were dominated by teenagers. Unfortunately her parents' desire to nurture a trouble-free child didn't really work out as she quit school shortly after the family moved to LA, before getting a job in the murky world of the music industry as a stylist for Def Jam Records in her late teens. Born in California to strict parents, the young Elijah Finister was banned from listening to any R&B or hip-hop.
