INTRODUCING: Lemon Power
Inspired by a month travelling through Tangier, Morocco , with a Mexican artist and her cat, Interzone is less a destination than a psychological terrain. Fronted by Sere, Lemon Power set out in search of a place charged with magic — somewhere able to transfix, confuse, and inspire.

From Island Records to the beyond: Babystep Magazine interview with NYC’s Laptop
NYC’s Laptop return with a holiday release that dodges tinsel and leans into truth. Reimagining Tom Waits’ “Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis” as a deadpan, jazz-robot confession, the track lands somewhere between heartbreak and a knowing smirk — a song for anyone who’s ever survived December rather than celebrated it. Now operating as a dual-frontman project led by Jesse Hartman alongside his son Charlie , Laptop continue to blur irony, emotion, and outsider sto
