Robin Alice Releases Debut EP 'Here and There'

Robin Alice, a duo comprised of Kelley Jakle and Jeff 'Horti' Hortillosa, has released their debut EP Here and There. The album's five tracks defy genre, spanning vintage R&B, pop, electrified folk, and Americana, unified by Jakle's powerful vocal range and Hortillosa's skilled musicianship. Recorded in Austin-area studios like the Bubble and Waterslide, Here and There finds Robin Alice working alongside Grammy-winning engineer Chris 'Frenchie' Smith. The five-song record also shines a light on the diversity and melodic chops at the core of the band's sound, blurring the lines between genres that don't often rub shoulders. There are horn arrangements, dream-pop influences, breakup songs, and plenty of coed harmonies. There's plenty of sharply-written lyrical insight, too, with songs like 'Greed' attacking America's consumerist obsession. 'When we were writing songs,' Hortillosa says, 'we didn't think of any limitations. We just allowed ourselves to be strange and creative. It was no-holds-barred approach. I'm from a bluegrass/Americana background, and Kelley is from more of a pop/rock background... so we worked together and found our own middle ground.' 

Robin Alice Premieres New Single GREED, Plus Debut EP Out 6/14

Robin Alice, a duo comprised of Kelley Jakle and Jeff 'Horti' Hortillosa, has unveiled 'Greed,' a new single from their forthcoming debut EP Here and There, out June 14th. 'Greed,' which follows singles 'Late Bloomer' and 'Wanna Be,' is a timely track inspired by, as much art is of late, the 2016 election. “Horti penned a great deal of this one,' the band toldAmerican Standard Time, which premiered the song. 'It was written largely during the 2016 elections when it became apparent that the country is suffering from a great cognitive divide. But, through the disagreement, Horti was very disturbed by the fact that personal self-interest often wins over altruism, and that corporate interests dictate our daily actions beyond politics. In so few words, it's a song reflecting upon disdain for unchecked capitalism, and the sadness at the lack of fiscal equality and lack of social safety nets.”  

Robin Alice Debuts LATE BLOOMER via Parade Magazine

A duo whose surreal songs make room for pop melodies, rock n' roll muscle, out-of-the-box arrangements, and powerhouse vocal performances, Robin Alice is the unexpected pairing of songwriters Kelley Jakle and Jeff Hortillosa. Jakle, who appeared in all three Pitch Perfect films, crossed paths with Jeff Hortillosa, member of punkgrass outfit Whiskey Shivers, on the set of the franchise's third installment. During filming, the pair began playing music together, and from the very start, their diverging backgrounds made for compelling art. Today, Robin Alice announces the release of their forthcoming EP Here and There (out June 14th), and unveils their smoldering new single 'Late Bloomer' via Parade Magazine. 'Combining a '60s vibe with classic guitar riffage, the song features Jakle's powerful vocals soaring over an excellent instrumental arrangement,' Parade says of the track, which also appears in the Netflix movie Walk. Ride. Rodeo. 'Late Bloomer,' an epic Motown-esque breakup song, was the first one that Jakle and Hortillosa created together, and delivers 'a satisfying intermingling of multiple genres and influences,' says Parade.
