Music For Sleep - Infinite Loops: A Song For Quiet Wednesday Nights - 2018

discogs.com

Tom Rimshot Dimly lit corners in an ornately decorated but empty dining room. Thick reams of curtains block off the windows, and the last strains of purple sunset bleed through the edges of the cloth. A glass ashtray sits on a white table, lined with gold floral adornments - a half-smoked cigarette still smoldering in it. The slow lines of grey billow up in the darkness and disappear into a black ceiling that may as well be the abyssal void of space.

Alison Cotton - All Is Quiet At The Ancient Theatre - 2018

A solo project in the truest sense, viola, recorder, percussion and mesmerising voice are the instruments in Alison’s orchestra as she takes the stage at the Ancient Theatre. Rich sound breaks the stillness. Drone dreams seep through sepia photographs. Nothing here now but the improvised recordings, captured on two sides of cassette tape. 

j.knife - New Hobby (2018, demo)

Oh wow another shit one I wrote 

Oh wow why don't I give up and go 

Oh wow thought it could work this time 

Oh wow letting you down’s my new hobby 

My new hobby 

Oh wow I messed up the chords again 

Oh wow my lyrics don’t feel the same 

Oh wow since when did I use the drums 

Oh wow letting you down’s my new hobby 

My new hobby 

and I don’t think about it anymore

Michael Cera - Best I Can (feat. Sharon Van Etten) - 2018

was it a dream we shared? 

or was I half awake 

once in the night you took my hand, I know you're still with me 

listen to how the trees 

tap on our windowpane 

no matter what the case may be I'll always be right here 

all I needed was your love 

I'll be with you through and through 

tell me that you love me so 

I will always do the best I can for you 

sometimes it's like a plane 

passing the golden sun 

rains wash away the afterglow 

puddles evaporate 

all I needed was your love 

I'll be with you through and through 

I know that you love me so 

I will always do the best I can for you

such simplicity such melody… excellent stuff out of VT - connects me to a place where I can feel authentic expression…

Woolen Men - Post - 2018

News Paper The perfect combination of creativity and simplicity and not just another band piling on pedals to hide their boring, badly written songs. They know exactly where to rein it in and exactly where to insert a bass line, a fill, or a groovy guitar noodle to make you involuntarily air drum. Thoughtful and relatable.

Don Babylon - “Lose Sometimes" - 2018

Premiering emotional and gritty new track “Lose Sometimes”—Don Babylon’s first single from their upcoming LP.

"Yet even with the sold out venues, they’re not afraid to go back to their punk rock roots and be inspired by everything around them."

-Elena Childers, BTR Today

Christopher Pellnat - Liftoff - 2018

The "folk" feel of these songs is anchored by acoustic guitar and dulcimer, while embracing instrument combinations that include clarinet, violin, flute, and accordion, as well as some electronic sound. The songs on this record are strange little works of art that are drawn from the search for something of substance and meaning amid all the chaos we see everywhere.
