Elder Sister Plum - Buried Treasure - 2017
This album is a time capsule, a collection of songs written and recorded many years ago, going as far back as Plum's teenage years when she was first experimenting with song writing. The recordings were made in a variety of places and times.
100% of her online sales will be donated to the Medic + Healer Council at Standing Rock. This is an indigenous-led collaborative group coordinating medical and healing supplies, human resources, and other types of medical/healing aid for the NoDAPL resistance camps. The fundraiser is taking place between Feb. 13 - Mar. 14.

Bandcamp Playlist #1
I plan on making more playlists for y'all… This instalment are some songs I've been liking from my many bandcamp releases. Enjoy!
Lesser Strays - Love Like A Cigarette - 2017
Lesser Strays began in the bedroom of a quiet suburb in North County San Diego, where Joshua Petroni, frustrated in the boredom of small town life, spent countless friendless weekdays and weekends building the fundamental skills of songwriting and recording. After years of composing nearly a hundred songs, he finally found a sound worthy of pursuing seriously and placed it under the name “Lesser Strays.”

Howe Gelb - The Open Road - Arizona Amp & Alternator - 2017
“His work has never acknowledged any borders that might theoretically exist between mariachi waltzes, psychedelic guitar rock, uptown piano jazz, or dusty improvised C&W“ (Pitchfork).
“In search of treasured happenstance, Howe Gelb is an enigma, an inspiration and some kind of genius” (The Quietus).

Kid Koala - Music To Draw To: Satellite - Featuring Emilíana Torrini - 2017
Kid Koala’s Music To Draw To: Satellite is an uncharted musical journey: an expansive work of ambient electronic soundscapes and chilling ballads in collaboration with Icelandic artist Emilíana Torrini. This inaugural volume in the Music To Draw To series is Kid Koala's first non-sample-based record, instead using an array of synthesizers, keys, guitars, strings, turntables, and inventive recording techniques to portray this heartrending musical story about a couple separated by a mission to Mars. The output is over 72 atmospheric minutes of stardust settling like fresh snow over Kid Koala’s trove of turntables and sentiment.

The New Year - Recent History - 2017
Pre-order album here:
Matt and Bubba Kadane first grabbed ears in the early ’90s with Bedhead, a band that built a cult following on the back of its slow-moving, ruminative releases. After Bedhead dissolved in 1998, the band started The New Year, releasing three records before slowing its productivity after the release of its 2008 self-titled album. While the Kadanes have remained active, including collaborating with David Bazan and Will Johnson in Overseas, they’ve quietly been working on the fourth record from The New Year.
The Two Tens - Keeping Hope Alive - 2017
The Two Tens’ new “Keeping Hope Alive” single is seriously cool. If you ain’t hooked on these cats by this point, c’mon—unhook that respirator and get out once in awhile. – BLURT MAGAZINE

Waxahatchee - NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert - 2013
The songs Waxahatchee brought to the NPR Music offices aren't just stripped down for this Tiny Desk Concert, this is Katie Crutchfield as Waxahatchee, spare and exposed; this is what she does. Sometimes there's a drummer (her sister's boyfriend Kyle Gilbride) and at other times another guitarist, her boyfriend Keith Spencer (both play in Swearin'), but even on Waxahatchee's second album, Cerulean Salt, there are plenty of bare-boned songs. This is intimate music for an intimate setting, as we got to stand in careful silence, listening intently and capturing this frail and powerful performance. --BOB BOILEN
