Check out Sutja Gutiérrez‘s new video for “Borderline (Hell, I’m The) off his latest release “White Ponycorn In My Room.” You can download the album right here.
However, It is her simple love songs first introduced on her debut EP “Meet Me In Montauk” that have had us completely spellbound for months.
We are so pleased to present Steffaloo’s first ever release on vinyl – an all new single featuring “On Fire” – a stripped-down haunting ballad with b-side “The Red Runs Free” featuring Pandit – who provided a beautiful wash of surreal guitar for the release.
Only 300 copies of this debut 7 inch will be made on custom marbled 7 inch vinyl. No two records will be the same and they will come in a kaleidoscope of colors! Each record will come with a digital download including an exclusive Sun Glitters Remix.
We love seeing our favorite bands move on to bigger and better things. This is exactly why JAXART started 4 years ago – to serve as a stepping stone for truly deserving musicians to move on to the next level.
We are insanely excited to annouce JAXART alums RACES’ have recently signed to Frenchkiss Records and will be releasing their debut full length on the label this fall. No doubt in my mind that big things are in store.
Angelenos – Come celebrate with the band every Monday this month at the Bootleg Bar where the band will be hosting a Free Residency in partnership with The Fold and 88.9 FM KXLU. The lineups are nothing short of SUPER STELLAR so we hope you come early and stay late!

Los Angeles noise pop trio Polls follow up their well received debut EP (summer 2010) with a brand new 7 inch single “Mouth of A Fox” b/w “Careful Way” out today on JAXART Records.
You can also download the tracks on iTUNES or Emusic.
“Forming songs that capture such ethereal lightness is no mean feat, but it’s one that Polls have down pat. The songs seem elastic and woozy, blurring from one softly sleepy chord to another, and we join them, lightly bobbing on the golden, swollen surf, and wonder what all the comparative fuss was about. Lovely.” - A New Band A Day
“With the right word of mouth and enough musical ears to recognize the melancholic pop melodies that drip into the spaces of jagged, fervid rhythms, they may possibly be the next well-oiled machine to take their place next in line.” - Beat Crave

Thanks to everyone who’s written about the release, sent love letters, even FAN ART. How amazing is that!
It is hard to define the joy-filled aura surrounding Spanish artist Sutja Gutiérrez. You may have heard of Sutja through his other project the The Fruhstucks. Or maybe you heard his music on television ads to visit Malta or at runway shows in New York. Perhaps this is your first time EVER hearing of Sutja and you’re a bit skeptical. We have a feeling once you step into his world all of that will change.
The multi-format artist based in Castellón Spain has been building a following in all corners of the globe through his personal drawings, photos, homemade videos, and sensual music that express his unique view on the world that many find to be pure bliss. Sutja’s sound is rooted lo-fi pop with melodies that evoke a sense of childlike glee. They get stuck in your head, become the soundtrack to dreams, and most importantly just make you feel great.
Los Angeles based label JAXART Records will release Sutja Gutierrez’s new album “White Ponycorn In My Room” TODAY Monday April 18th – with a twist.
The album will be available for FREE DOWNLOAD through Bandcamp and they are asking everyone make a donation to help Sutja go on tour.
