🎙️ ifitbeyourwill Ep. 13: POSTDATA
Run Wild, POSTDATA’s forthcoming fourth LP, from its first springtime keystrokes, is a brilliant, technicolor indie rock odyssey.
There is a palpable sense of magic and possibility and light to the record, even in its heavier moments. With this collection of 10 songs, Murphy has crystallized the elements he’s played with for decades: pop melodics and structure, prog-and indie-rock arrangements, avant-folk intimacy and quirk. Murphy plays the mad alchemist, precisely combining these pieces to create a record that feels like a thick, sprawling, sun-soaked magic garden, where listeners can sprint and jump and scream and laugh, and feel whatever it is they need to feel.
“I felt like it was time to take POSTDATA someplace new, and be a little more free with what it is,” he says. “I was trying to go all-out stylistically, and trying to flesh out all the differentplaces that it could actually take it. I wanted to give it more space, allow it to go wherever it needed to.”

My Violence • Jesus • 2023
- FAME Magazine
"A sonic world built on haunting vocals and atmospheric soundscapes."
- EARMILK
"Brought to life through the production and mixing prowess of Gold Star, Ryder navigates through a cinematic panorama of unique auditory terrains, including using a 1980s Omnichord for composition. Her musical narrative finds harmony in the unlikely matrimony of arco double bass dalliances, psychedelic shades of pedal steel, and the vintage charm of a Baldwin Fun Machine."
- Post-Punk
"I love when artists stretch their artistic muscles by restricting the tools at their disposal. If not for that kind of self imposed restriction, then the beautiful illusory '20,000 Dashboard Angels' by My Violence would not exist in the same way [...] The result on the album and on this track is exquisitely dreamy, ethereal in tone and somehow feeling like it exists in another time."
- American Pancake
Tele Novella • Funeral • 2023
- BrooklyVegan
"Their baroque pop with a punk rock spirit, and eye-catching visuals fit what sounds like a rather Lynchian existence to a tee.”
- KCRW
"...Tele Novella combine edginess and accessibility that simply holds no currency."
- Sun 13
"On their third album, Texas duo Tele Novella explore personal reflection, digging deeper into the well of wounded country... melding ‘60s jukebox tearjerkers from the school of Patsy Cline and Dottie West with a ripple of baroque pop."
- Raven Sings The Blues
"Poet’s Tooth is both lyrically and musically perfect; one of my favourite albums of 2023 – no idle boast. Prepare to be equally charmed and moved with a counterculture resurgence of quality, subtle comedy and tragedy, eccentric disillusion."
- Monolith Cocktail

🎙️ ifitbeyourwill Ep. 7 • Anton Barbeau
"This man—Anton Barbeau—is the last true musical genius of the classic age. I like Bowie, but I often prefer to listen to Ant; I like Lennon and The Beatles, but I'll often eschew them for the brilliance of Ant. Everything he's done is ace and his last five or six albums have been perfect and true classics. And I really don't say that lightly. He's the last of the very best. I mean that."

"Bursting into a shouty, fists-aloft chorus before zoning back to minimalism, it's quiet-loud tricks are a tried-and-tested recipe for success" |

"I like this a lot. I like the deadpan poetry it uses to describe the scene and the unsettled, unpredictable, jerky nature of the music as well” |

Careful • Promise dance + projection test • 2023
- New York Times
“Eric Lindley plays intimate, quirky songs with layered vocals that flow over warm acoustic guitar. Lindley colors his soft harmonies and restrained writing style with carefully placed electronics.”
- NPR
"A hopeless, pretty puzzle."
- Consequence of Sound
"Devastatingly intimate."
- Under the Radar
"A nostalgic touch brought to life by a warm yet distorted soundscape of soft saxophones bolstered by poignant song writing"
- Earmilk
"A beautiful song about a harrowing subject."
- Backseat Mafia
"Eric Lindley’s songs have the power to infuse the stretch of time they occupy with a sadness that’s incidental but devastating."
- LA Record

"Belo’s music exudes its own charm, more wandering and mellifluous than ethereal or haunting."
- American Songwriter
"Recorded on a 8-track cassette recorder, the track embraces the nostalgic and warm tones of a vintage thrift find, while exploring themes of outgrowing ones hometown."
- Dusty Organ
