Tony Jay – Perfect Worlds (single)

There is something truly sublime about the music of Tony Jay. It goes all in on emotions that others will only hint at, and is never afraid to let the songs vulnerability be their strength. Headed by San Francisco lo-fi legend Michael Ramos, new album Perfect Worlds will soon be arriving via the esteemed SlumberlandContinue reading “Tony Jay – Perfect Worlds (single)”

Now – And Blue Space Is Burning Noon

I have been regularly singing the praises of Now ever since I was handed a tape of Will Smith and Oli Lipton’s marvellous Saturday’s Child album earlier this year. Recent live shows have seen the band showcasing fresh material with new bassist Hannah Forrester, and our collective Summers can now be lifted with the releaseContinue reading “Now – And Blue Space Is Burning Noon”

Helpful People – Bugs From Below

I knew something was afoot when the same few reliable voices all started whispering the words Helpful People to me in unison, and it only took a few seconds of hearing Bugs From Below to know that this would be the latest Bay Area sound to sweep me off my feet. Helpful People features theContinue reading “Helpful People – Bugs From Below”

Ironic Hill – s/t

Very recently via Twitter I found the music and musings of Ironic Hill, or maybe the music and musings found me, in all honesty I’m not too sure. One moment this strange beautiful music wasn’t in my life, the next it was, and it’s compelled me to write this piece to hopefully get the wordContinue reading “Ironic Hill – s/t”

Present Electric – s/t

Kevin Linn is at the heart of so much of the great music that comes out of the San Francisco underground. His label Paisley Shirt Records is awash with incredible outsider sounds, he lends his instrumental talent as and when it’s required, and puts out gloriously skewed DIY-pop with his own Sad Eyed Beatniks project.Continue reading “Present Electric – s/t”

The Gift of The Gabys

Where to begin with The Gabys? A UK duo with no definable online presence, and two EPs to their name over the course of two years, both on small US labels, one out of Detroit, one out of California. They have garnered the respect of the San Francisco underground and now slowly but surely allContinue reading “The Gift of The Gabys”

Cindy – Why Not Now?

‘Have you been sleeping on the job? Searching for the words for far too long? Wondering how you missed the call, all the nights you thought were yours.’ True story: If it hadn’t been for the second verse of The Price Is Right you wouldn’t be reading this now. This site wouldn’t have progressed theContinue reading “Cindy – Why Not Now?”

Whitney’s Playland – Sunset Sea Breeze

This album has been floating around the San Francisco underground for a little while now, but with vinyl copies at last reaching the UK and Summer at our doorsteps it felt just the right time to attempt to capture its magic here. The first thing that hits me every time I Iisten to Whitney’s PlaylandContinue reading “Whitney’s Playland – Sunset Sea Breeze”
