Sophia McScandal : Sophia McScandal is a late 20-something online fantasy filler. With a laptop and a ring light, she spends her time creating erotic media and exploring all things kink. Find her across multiple adult platforms such as sophiamcscandal.manyvids.com and https://www.pornhub.com/model/sophiamcscandal. Or follow her on Twitter @sophiamcscandal or YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj8oWIuL8SgQ67qXouWLJzQ

Doc Rhombus : I consider myself to be a multi-instrumentalist (primarily guitar and keys) with a good ear and an ability to play with virtually all kinds of artists across different styles. I have played guitar and piano since I was a kid, and I'm more or less self-taught. My sister (who is now a drummer for Harry and the Potters and a few other bands) and I used to put on shows for family and friends at parties when we were young. I didn't study music at Loyola, but I used to sneak into one of the practice rooms at the top of the Mundelein building to sharpen my keyboard skills. I have played a few small gigs in Chicago over the years with some local artists, but not for several years.

This year, I wanted to create something personal and meaningful that stands on its own, and reflects my musical influences and "my take" on the world. I always wanted to write and arrange an album and dive heavily into songwriting and producing. The Condition is my product. Musically, it draws on alternative rock and indie rock/pop genres -- probably the genres I'm most familiar with and listen to the most (see Beck, Radiohead, Ariel Pink). But it also incorporates blues, funk, electronic, and hip-hop elements. Lyrically, the album looks outward and inward. There's plenty of commentary about privilege, status, truth (or the startling lack thereof today), and reality; there's also a good amount of introspection and discussion of depression, hopelessness, and fear.
