pronoun - I Wanna Die But I Can’t (Cuz I Gotta Keep Living) (from OMG I Made It) John played this tune again on the Morning Show on KEXP and it’s one of those singles that I keep hearing and finally thought “I need to know more about that.” Looking forward to her new album out on June 10th!

Pronoun Celebrates Album Release on Thursday at Rough Trade NYC

Allyse Vellturo studied music production and engineering in Boston at Berklee College of Music, but rather than becoming a musician, she moved to Brooklyn and took up managing musicians instead. But eventually she had a change of heart and began “flipping heartbreak into sunbeam-lit, charismatic indie pop”—per Billboard—as the one-woman-band Pronoun. What was originally supposed to be a long-player became the 2016 EP There’s No One New Around You (stream it here). “Reflective synths are layered underneath melodies and muted vocals that make the songs feel like a cross between alternative rock and retro-pop glory,” according to Idobi. “This is an album that means something. This is the album you turn on 10 years from now and remember the girl you’d just met, the boy you’d just broken up with, or the apartment you’d just moved into. This is an album that becomes a soundtrack for your life, and that is a truly special thing.” This past May, the long-awaited LP, I’ll Show You Stronger (stream it here), arrived on Rhyme & Reason Records. “For a debut record, Alyse Vellturo hit hard. I’ll Show You Stronger is 41 minutes of addictive beats, sultry vocals and soaring production full of expressive lyrics that delivers on every front,” says Get Alternative. “There’s no time to get bored when bopping along to the dreamy landscape she’s created here that almost masks how melancholic the theme of the record truly is.” Join the party when Pronoun (above, performing “Run” for AudioTree Live) celebrates the album’s release on Thursday night at Rough Trade NYC.

Kung Fu Necktie Welcomes pronoun 6/28

Kung Fu Necktie Welcomes pronoun 6/28

Featured photo by Em Grey. Alyse Vellturo aka pronoun is coming to Philly this week to Kung Fu Necktie. You might’ve heard her debut EP  There’s no one new around you. featured on Nylon and USA Today. I had a chance to speak to the Brooklyn artist about her music and life prior to tour to get to know her and her work.   Rock On…

[iheartmoosiq]

Brooklyn’s Alyse Vellturo released her debut album as pronoun recently, and we were elated when we received the CD that we pre-ordered eons ago. As expected, I haven’t been able to get enough of the indie/alt pop musician’s raspy captivating voice and striking anthems on the record. As someone who truly adores nostalgic 80s synths, I also can’t help but be drawn to this new remix of album single run by Bay Area native The Chain Gang of 1974. Kamtin Monagher brings his slow burning movie-like magic to the edit with a glossy driving electronic and nu-wave re-work. The end result is a shimmering anthem that lights up our summer nights. pronoun just wrapped a tour with Aaron West and The Roaring Twenties and is now gearing up for a tour with pop-punk outfit Real Friends prior to playing a run of shows with Taking Back Sunday, including their curated House of Vans event in Chicago. The Chain Gang of 1974′s remix of pronounce’s run can be streamed/downloaded, here.

VANS HOUSE PARTIES | PRONOUN

Last night House of Vans Chicago was treated to a heartfelt set by Alyse Vellturo, aka Pronoun. Vellturo, a Berklee College of Music graduate, initially had her sights set on managing independent artist, but after a tough breakup, she found herself recording music in her New York apartment to work through the heartache. After all, she could play the piano, guitar, drums, and sing. Those songs became an EP titled; There's no one around you. The EP was a generous mix of pop/rock and self-reflective lyrics.

In a recent interview with New Noise Magazine Vellturo explained how her solo DIY approach has made her a more dynamic and vulnerable songwriter saying, "My music's really personal, and I like making it all myself and doing all the parts. A lot of it just ends up with me sitting at my desk and layering a ton of stuff that I probably wouldn't do if I was just in a studio with a bunch of people."

Pronoun's latest album i'll show you stronger is streaming now.

Alyse Vellturo, mejor conocida como pronoun, sigue compartiendo muy buenos tracks. Esta vez se trata de “temporary tantrum”, que tiene baterías contundentes y muy presentes en la mezcla, además de una voz y melodía que hacen recordar muy buenas canciones de principios del milenio.

Su álbum “I’ll Show You Stronger” llegará el 24 de mayo vía Rhyme & Reason.

pronoun - “run”

SXSW 2018 - OEB Score: 7; Popularity Index: 3

Pairs Well With…The Postal Service, Japanese House, Courtney Barnett

Last year we wrote that pronoun’s sound is an interesting mix of bedroom alt rock and synth pop.  She creates a haunting sound with strong vocals layered among intricate guitar and synthetic beats. Her lyrical and vocal vulnerability is where her music really hits home.  The title of her debut EP, “there’s no one new around you,” was appropriated from what Tinder apparently tells you when you’ve done too much swiping left.  She says the songs, including “a million other things,” and “just cuz you can’t,” where born of a painful breakup.  She took to the studio and recorded the tracks herself and chose her band name to reflect her solitary endeavor to work through the aftermath of this relationship.  But pronoun, aka Alyse Vellturo, has been moving upwards and onward this past year.  She formed a close-knit circle of other musicians and she’s signed several to her record label.  She’s written new songs for a full-length album, including “run,” which is similar to her previous work, with perhaps a little more rock and roll edge to the guitar work.  And while she had previously eschewed a band, she is now traveling to SXSW with one (and sharing some of the members with fellow label mates).  It was great to a preview of her Southby show, but with three guitars and no synthesizer, we have to admit that some of the songs lost their complexity and the vocals were mostly indecipherable.  So as we told pronoun after the show, your lyrics and voice are really powerful and the studio versions have some amazing production edges, so don’t be afraid to keep doing your own thing on stage – even though you now have company up there. That’s our heartfelt music advice.  On matters of the heart, however, we probably have no useful suggestions for your Tinder profile, because we at OEB have all long been happily paired up.  (pronoun count for this review = approximately 30).

pronoun: The Brooklyn-based musician’s long-percolating debut is a collection of small dream-pop ditties that only feel cheery on the outside.

Pronoun’s Alyse Vellturo has a backstory so earnest and precious it seems impossible to hate. The Brooklyn-based musician attended Berklee College of Music, got spooked by how talented her classmates were, and then retreated into the shadows for a decade until she finally gained the confidence to give music another shot. Now Vellturo is 30, and she’s finally released her debut, i’ll show you stronger, a record of small dream-pop ditties largely about heartbreak. The record is a labor of love, albeit a not entirely realized one.

Vellturo knows her way around reverb-heavy guitar parts, emo-inflected vocals, and pop-punk percussion, but i’ll show you stronger doesn’t fit easily into any of those columns. She has no brand allegiance to a specific sound, which for the most part lends itself to compelling results. Take “you didn’t even make the bed,” a song that’s coated in Sunny D on the outside and oozes anguish from within. Here, Vellturo plays a tenderly picked guitar line that gets rejiggered and muddled up by competing vocal lines and incandescent production flourishes. Then come the lyrics, which are some of the record’s most candid: “I said talk to someone your own age/Not fuck a 45-year-old/Who’s expired,” she sings, sounding like an emo Victoria Legrand who chews on consonants and doesn’t quite have the necessary breath control. It’s a painfully intimate scene that she keys us into, making a point early on that i’ll show you stronger is written for Vellturo and Vellturo alone.

“Stay” has a similarly cheery exterior, while the lyrics compare falling out of love with getting run over by an 18-wheeler. Both the song and the experience it depicts feel kind of unresolved, unfinished, and messy around the edges. You still might get weepy, though. On the following track, “Sadie,” Vellturo addresses the person making her miserable. “So Sadie, don’t act like I’m the problem/When you ran out of money and sought out your rock bottom,” she sings, with a fixed gaze. Vellturo is raw, and her pain isn’t fleshed out yet. Neither is the song.

A lot of music attempts the happy-on-the-outside, sad-as-all-hell-on-the-inside sort of thing; Robynhas made a career of dancefloor bops that make you want to bawl your eyes out. This is the kind of company Vellturo’s music aspires toward, and there are moments on the album that come really close. If she never quite finds those bombastic sweet spots that turn a good song into an anthem—well, that’s ok. It may have taken a decade, but it’s a debut. Vellutro hasn’t quite figured out what function her art will serve. She’s nervously dipped her toes into the water, and wrote her truth into existence. That’s more than enough to get started.

There are no tantrums to be found here when new pronoun greets our ears. The Brooklyn musician, who recently announced her debut album ‘i’ll show you stronger’ for a May 24th release via Rhyme & Reason, reminds us that heartache is fleeting on ‘temporary tantrum’. One woman band Alyse Vellturo captivates us all over again with blissed out synths, upbeat drum beats, and her unique and singular voice, raspy yet blazing, velutinous and alluring. She explains of the new single: "temporary tantrum was written about that moment in the relationship when you realize you've been played. although in that moment it's heart breaking and you feel like the biggest idiot, you know that eventually you will come out on the other end and use that experience to grow." pronoun’s debut album will feature a constant theme of recovery. "This record picks up where my first EP left off. It pretty much saved my life," pronoun explains, "It helped me realize it's ok to be sad, and crazy, and hurt, and vulnerable, but it's just as important to stand up for yourself and know what you deserve, and lastly to move on." She’ll be touring with Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties late May through mid-June, though no West Coast dates have been included. Hopefully, this will change as the album release date approaches. One can hope... Stream/purchase ‘temporary tantrum’, here.

This whole record addresses that phase, the one where you’re like “really…REALLY?!” Listen below.
