February 18, 2022: Dani Lee Pearce (she/her) is a Pacific Northwest-born nonbinary trans creature currently living in the Midwest who has been releasing music online since 2011. Many of her songs were written during a 5 year period she was homeless, and lyrical subject matter ranges from that experience to drawing from dreams, fantasy, folklore, witchcraft, mythology, history, intense emotions, the spiritual, the mysterious and the macabre.Her music has ranged across a multitude of moods and textures, beginning with very loose and experimental compositions and transitioning through keyboard-based prog to synth-rooted progressive pop with a distinct queer ethos. She became connected with Grimalkin Records in 2019 and her 16th and newest album, Spider Mountain, is her second release with the label.Artist receives 75% of all proceeds of digital only sales. The remaining 25% supports Grimalkin's label and mutual aid fund and helps us towards sustaining our work.Per Dani, proceeds from tapes support Grimalkin Records and are used for artist and release development.
Lathe proceeds go back to Grimalkin and we break even if they all sell.
December 21. 2021: Spartan Jet-Plex aka Nancy Grim Kells (they/them) is the founder and facilitator of Grimalkin Records and is releasing Stone, a 3 song EP.
Music has always been a kind of therapy to help me work through my feelings and that is especially true after I lost my mom to cancer in September of 2010. These songs were written at different times in my life since she passed, and shortly after writing and recording I Am Stone, I had an experience while doing my daily meditation that I needed to listen to Rest In Stone and Brain Dread along with I Am Stone, and in that order, which is also the order in which they were written. Each song was written 5 years apart. I wrote Rest In Stone shortly after my mom’s passing in 2011. Brain Dread was written in 2016 and I Am Stone was written in November 2021. All of the songs share similar lyrics, imagery and meaning for me. The comparison and similarities was completely unintentional, but together they tell a story of my grieving journey. I am releasing them together as an EP for these reasons and I hope that anyone who has experienced great loss in their life finds comfort in their sounds.
All proceeds from Spartan Jet-Plex go towards Grimalkin Records’ current fundraisers and support future physical releases on the label.
This will be released on Spartan Jet-Plex's Bandcamp.
