Nearly a year since her last release, Argentine-American Pilar Victoria has emerged from the quiet with a new single in hand.

Holland’s 45ACIDBABIES get spunky on new album ‘Paint The World Pink’

Aself-proclaimed “multidisciplinary collective,” Dutch group 45ACIDBABIES are back with their 12-track sophomore LP “Paint The World Pink.” As bubbly as it is crunchy, the quartet leans into individuality and nonconformism, which rings true not just lyrically, but production-wise as well.
