Today, Grimalkin released the single Quirky New Crush Anthem and the pre-order for Honeysuckle Eyes by SOCCERMOM WITH AN AK .

On May 3, 2024, Grimalkin releases Honeysuckle Eyes, an album about interpersonal relationships, the extreme drama of everyday life and seemingly inconsequential social interactions, and the need to inject humor and irony into otherwise painful experiences. Each song is an exercise in world-building. While overwhelming listeners, it does not push them away, but rather draws them into an immersive experience that mixes the familiar with the unfamiliar. The songs on the album are orchestral but at the same time very simple; they are harsh but catchy; and through it all, the rhythm carries the listener through the cacophony, much as our sense of self carries us through a world with ever increasing, and increasingly confusing, stimuli.

Virginia-born multidisciplinary artist Graham Ferguson (they/them), whose experimental music project SOCCERMOM WITH AN AK increasingly occupies their creative attention, has never been formally trained in music or art. They received a BA in Philosophy from the College of William and Mary in December 2019. However, by their Junior year of College, they had begun to see how much more fun it was to engage in creative activities than to sit around in class debating whether objective morality exists (it turns out that it does not). 

In 2018, they wrote the script for the award winning short film Solo Orange, wrote and directed their own film, Imaginary Sunshine, and decided that film would be their future. This changed when, one week away from graduating, they lapsed into psychosis and were later diagnosed with Schizophrenia. 

From a year of psychosis grew their first album, Schizophrenic Playhouse (Jan. 2023), a grab bag of genres ranging from optimistic singer songwriter indie to abrasive power-electronics attacks on the listeners psyche. Their upcoming album, Honeysuckle Eyes, will be released through Grimalkin Records and combines noise with singer-songwriter indie to create a genre they describe as noise-pop. 

Per Soccermom with an AK, tape proceeds go to Grimalkin's current fundraisers to support our mission. Artist receives 75% of digital proceeds. 25% of digital proceeds support's Grimalkin's label fund so we can continue helping artists make physical releases.
