All is fair in love and war
Keep them wanting more and more
Ladies and gentlemen, intrepid explorers of the eccentric and the extraordinary, gather ’round for the wildest, most wondrous surreal synth pop spectacle as Los Angeles-based multimedia artist Geneva Jacuzzi announces Triple Fire, her third full-length album and the first since signing with Dais Records.
Following the album’s preview single, Dry, Geneva Jacuzzi has unveiled her video for the LP’s second single, Art Is Dangerous, where the energy crackles with an ensemble of audacious artists from the heart of the Los Angeles underground scene. These unconventional individuals, experts in the auditory, visual, and performing arts, showcase their display of unadulterated creative rebellion, each making a cameo in a parade of pure artistic anarchy. Joining the cavalcade are leading figures in the scene, such as Drab Majesty, Twin Shadow, King Woman, Donzii, Kontravoid, the ethereal Weyes Blood, Sextile…and more.
Here is the complete list of cameos:
Weyes Blood, Jae Matthews (Boy Harsher), Mac DeMarco, Drab Majesty, Ian Svenonius, Ron Athey, King Woman, Seth Bogart, Twin Shadow, Izzy Glaudini (Automatic), John Carroll Kirby, Patriarchy, Sextile, Riki, Dynasty Handbag, Tempers, Kontravoid, Cooper B Handy, Chris Coady, Iggy Gonzalez, Nick Aguayo, Nour Mobarak, Josh da Costa, Donzi, Romy (Romy Hoffman), Diva Dompe, Toucan, Thalia Mavros, Nedda Afsari, Skylar Kaplan, JJ Stratford, Mira Billote (White Magic), Cate Kennan, Isabella Behraven, Mike Long, Renee Clark, Emily Anderson, Roderick Edens, Andrew Briggs
“This video is about artists… of all different mediums,” explains Jacuzzi, regarding her love letter to her kindred spirits in the scene.
“Musicians, performance artists, painters, filmmakers, photographers, writers, video artists. I come from the lineage of Los Angeles’s art and music ‘underground,’ which is quite special and full of incredible friends and people who motivate me. I’m a solo artist but I cherish my community of people who inspire me and wanted to share this debut with everyone.”
Watch the video for “Art is Dangerous” below:
Art Is Dangerous springs from the fevered imagination behind Geneva Jacuzzi’s latest endeavor with Dais Records, her forthcoming new album Triple Fire, set for release on August 23rd. This creation, a symphony of collaboration, features the lyrical and musical minds of Geneva herself, Roderick Edens, and Andrew Briggs. The production is a collective marvel, led by Geneva, with Edens, Briggs, and Josh da Costa contributing their prowess. Dylan McPherson adds an extra layer of synth magic to the mix.
Geneva Jacuzzi, a luminary who first surfaced from the untamed shores of San Diego County, found her true artistic north upon her arrival in Los Angeles in 2001. Here, her wild and immersive multimedia performances transformed into a hallucinogenic blend of masks, costumes, confrontations, and grand installations. Her music, equally lauded, weaves catchy hooks with enigmatic atmospheres, all wrapped in the lo-fi charm of 4-track recordings. She also helmed the synth-wave death-disco ensemble Bubonic Plague, alongside members of The Warlocks and The Centimeters.
With Triple Fire, Jacuzzi expands and sharpens her distinctive mix of midnight melodies and mutant aerobics, delivering a 12-track odyssey of eclectic synth-pop and sly, post-apocalyptic camp.
