“Philadelphia’s Kilynn Lunsford had been conceiving her first solo album since she was a young teen. Growing up through the MTV era of Missy Elliot, Timbaland and the Swing Mob collective, and drawn towards its “sometimes ridiculous, but overloaded” qualities, she found herself returning to that state of emerging adulthood when the moment for a solo record finally arose.

The image of Britney Spears being recorded in an empty field somewhere in her native West-Philly – “like Alan Lomax recording Betty Boop near the Delaware water gap” – provided a key ‘mental mood image’ for what would eventually become ‘Custodians of Human Succession’. As if Blackout was reimagined by Throbbing Gristle, Lunsford’s debut straddles unclear boundaries between electro-pop, post-punk and the avant-garde; it delves into those liminal spaces between pop culture and experimentalism, between city and country, between verse and chorus.”

Selma Oxor “has been called "Mexico’s New Queen of Electro Trash Goth" by Remezcla Musica, comparing the former member of Bam Bam to Grimes or Dani Shivers…MTV Iggy called her music "deliciously dark and vampish" and noted the change in aesthetic, adding "Leticia’s dark and sultry moans of not giving a fuck opened the pathway to more fans, as she paraded herself as the trick you won’t ever forget."“ –wikipedia
