We're back!

WHATS GOOD FAM!!

It’s been a while.

We hope you’re doing well, healthy, prospering, and making it through these strange times alright.

As you may know, we took an extended hiatus. Right when the pandemic began in 2020, we were in the middle of our most productive period of growth - as a band, as a couple, and as people. During the lockdown, we did our best to pivot and went all in on every new digital opportunity that presented itself: Twitch, social media, Zoom performances, Discord networking, online classes, YouTube series, Audius and crypto in general, Instagram and Facebook ads, etc. We self-produced our 2nd full length studio album “illustrations” and (after getting vaccinated) played our first IRL festival in Virginia.

By the end of 2021/beginning of 2022, after putting 110% nonstop into every new digital/online venture, getting covid, deciding to move out to a new home together, and our computer breaking… we were burnt out. Depressed. Discouraged. It was fun doing everything together, but it’s all just been so different than how we envisioned, how we planned… what we were prepared for. And we’re STILL in this damn pandemic. So, we took a long break for our mental health and to refocus our priorities.

Now finally we are living together with a decent studio setup, built a new computer, and officially became an LLC. That’s right baby, illexotic LLC is now incorporated! We’re still adjusting to our new work schedules, figuring out our personal life balance, and trying to take care of ourselves amidst the chaos - but we’re slowly and steadily establishing a rhythm.

We’ve rebooted livestreaming on Twitch (and now TikTok too) every Weds/Thurs and every other Fri; posting on TikTok more than ever; and taking a new approach to our music creative process. More exciting new plans are on the way, and we can’t wait to share everything with you all. We couldn’t have made it this far without the support of our fans and fams, and we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who’s been with us so far. Stay tuned!

Happy 2023, we hope this year sees positive growth and success for us all. Thank you for being here, and always remember: YOU ARE AMAZING!
