Few artists embody the contradictions and possibilities of Los Angeles like Geneva Jacuzzi. A pioneer of low fidelity, bedroom recorded avant-pop, her work spans not only music, but performance art, live theater, set design, costuming, makeup, and set decoration - the auteur theory realized as ongoing art practice. She is simultaneously championed by underground venues, DIY spaces and art galleries, as well as prestigious institutions like The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA), The Broad Museum, and The Getty. Across two decades of activity, Jacuzzi has toured her surrealist strain of theatrical synth-pop and staged dada exploratory installations in more than forty countries across the world.

The evolution of new romantic icon Riki is as dynamic as it is undeniable. 2020 saw the release of her widely acclaimed self-titled debut for Dais Records, reimagining moody new wave synthetics across a vibrant palette of melodic melancholia, prompting a string of rapturously received tours and festival appearances.
The recent unveiling of Riki’s sophomore LP, Gold, marks another tier in her art-pop ascension. Produced by Telefon Tel Aviv’s Joshua Eustis, and echoing eclectic 80’s touchstones from Saâda Bonaire to Strawberry Switchblade and Bryan Ferry to Bananarama, Gold ultimately transcends its influences, fusing private heartbreak with anthemic emotion in swooning, singular fashion.
