Illuminati Hotties - POWER | Smartpunk Exclusive

Since releasing her critically acclaimed album, Let Me Do One More, in 2020, Sarah Tudzin (aka Illuminati Hotties) hasn’t stopped. The album received widespread praise internationally and established Tudzin as one of the most exciting new artists on the indie-rock scene. But Tudzin isn’t just an incredible musician, songwriter and explosive live performer, the LA-native is also an in demand producer and engineer and now Tudzin can also add GRAMMY winner to that list. Tudzin was nominated for several GRAMMY awards for her work on the boygenius’s The Record and took home a trophy for Alternative Album of the Year. In between all of that, Tudzin has been hard at work on the much anticipated follow up album - Power.

Power is a record that transmutes the unshakable hardships and wonders of life into a fetching set of inescapable songs. Power is not a grief record. It is not a love record, either. Instead, it is a real-life record...Sadness, joy, and the busyness of modern existence are all bound into these 13 songs, characters and circumstances sometimes exaggerated not just for effect but to offer a modest buffer between Tudzin’s world and those inside of her words.

Also, Sarah said, "Glow in the dark vinyl would be cool as hell," so who are we to disagree???
