100th and May

100th and May is a duo from Los Angeles, formed in the early 2000s with vocalist Amaya May and multi-instrumentalist Joel Vladov. Their music tends toward atmospheric folk and rock with some electronic touches, heard on songs like "Not goin back" and "Stars take me." They released four albums between 2004 and 2015, starting with "Hundredth and May" and ending with "Not Goin' Back."

In 2007, May spoke publicly about dealing with depression and anxiety, which led to a short break from the band. That openness seemed to connect with some listeners. Their songs often deal with emotional territory, whether it's the wintery mood of "New York In The Winter" or the more direct address of "To:The Love of my Life."

They built a following around that intimate, slightly haunted sound without becoming a mainstream act. The work holds a certain quiet consistency across those four records.
