Dorio, Smooie, Plush Crush

3..2..1..Go! The prompt begins and ends the latest Dorio production, starring Agent Friday & the Perfect Angel. Motion-blurred scenes coalesce in an imagined spy thriller soundtrack, cutting across club pop, neo-acoustic, and textured electronica. In eleven jet-setting tracks, the Texas duo reconfigures classic pop sensibilities and cocktail lounge idioms into a thoroughly modern work. The project’s newest LP marks a confident development in Chad Doriocourt and Rachel Rascoe’s co-songwriting and CD-age experimentation. Dorio’s mission starts now.

For fans of The Cardigans, Stereolab, Ginger Root, Pearl & The Oysters

Plush Crush is a dream-pop and shoegaze band from Chicago’s South Side, known for their reverb-heavy sound and melodic guitar work. They craft dreamy soundscapes that

feel both emotionally distant and deeply attached, reminiscent of early The Cure and Slowdive. If your looking for a night filled with nostalgic feelings, Plush Crush is who you should be listening to.

Smooie is a musician/song-writer from Chicago that wants you to find the beauty in all of your emotions. Mostly known for his work as a sideman on the Chicago

jazz, R&B, and alternative scene, Smooie is now stepping out as a bandleader, and is planning to drop his debut album in 2027.
