POWER is available everywhere now, in full 🎨

I am so proud of this body of work and I am so thankful to be able to hand this off to you - it’s yours now, it means something new

There are a handful of people that made this album possible, without whom this might just be a reckless pile of voice notes. Those people are: @congletonjohn @ryan_nasci @jaysomband @heba_kadry @jon.joseph @doctorrosenrosen @raddiemoss @suzyshinn @heemsworth @lemon.socks & @taylorjamescarroll on technical/writing/sage wisdom. @jasonmcgerr @zach.bilson @brendanmccusker @malnotbad @beanslover_jacob @sad13 @_emily.elkin_ @emilyandersonak & @_louroy comprising a dream band of literal musical geniuses. @shervinfoto for snapping an iconic cover, @mads_schubert for graphic design and a CUSTOM font, a beautiful foreward in print from @elizamclamb . and of course @tristancarosino @lindsayshelkin @gracejonezz @alihedrick & everyone at @hopelessrecords for seeing this album in all its ugly stages through to the end 💘

finally to my family, my partner Maddie, my dogs, my friends… good lord thank you for putting up with me.

illuminati hotties (@ih.rips) is the brainchild of LA-based studio whiz Sarah Tudzin.

Turning her knack for sound engineering into a riotously fun indie-rock playground, their catalogue of scrappy DIY instincts and bubbly introspective hooks have crowned them the term “tenderpunk.”

Continuously leveling up their craft, all while maintaining the same snarl and charm, check out their fuzz-drenched single “777,” co-produced by Jay Som.

Catch illuminati hotties on Thursday, June 18 at @onelegionyyc with @theesoreheads, @poolgirl.world, @deadexgirlfriends, @circlinggrl, @thee_canadian_dispatch and @subc_ell.

Day passes and tickets are on sale now at SledIsland.com.

Presented in partnership with @servusalberta and @exclaimdotca!

Tenderpunk trailblazers Illuminati Hotties (@ih.rips) grace the Yamaha showroom to deliver a live acoustic version of their dreamy track “777,” from their 2025 standout EP Nickel On The Fountain Floor.

Led by GRAMMY-winning producer Sarah Tudzin and accompanied by guitarist Jake Noveck, their performance highlights the song’s mix of vulnerability, hope, and momentum. Performed on Yamaha TransAcoustic 1E Grade guitars, the built-in effects such as lush chorus and shimmering reverb complement the arrangement’s unique depth and emotional resonance.
