Tony Jay – Perfect Worlds
Resembling either a night that ended far too late or a morning that began far too early, the music of San Francisco’s mysterious lo-fi pop project Tony Jay exists in a unique space, a space where the band are free to dream boldly in the half-light, and coax real wonder from layers of tape hissContinue reading “Tony Jay – Perfect Worlds”
Red Pants – Witching Hour
Anything new from the beautifully creative mind of Jason Lambeth is cause for celebration, but news of his first vinyl release courtesy of the wonderful Madrid based label Meritorio Records is truly next level stuff. Red Pants is Lambeth’s collaboration with fellow Madison, Wisconsin based artist Elsa Nekola, and the duo have just released WitchingContinue reading “Red Pants – Witching Hour”
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)”
Violent Change – s/t
I first became aware of Bay Area band Violent Change when I caught a friends Instagram video of a recent live performance. When a couple of weeks later one of the coolest people I know mentioned them to me I knew it was time to properly explore their gritty, vital back catalogue. With treasure inContinue reading “Violent Change – 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”
April Magazine – Wesley’s Convertible Tape For The South
Watching from afar here in the UK, April Magazine have been mysteriously both at the heart and in the shadows of the San Francisco underground for some years now, seemingly everywhere and nowhere all at the same time. The 2021 Tough Love Records compilation If The Ceiling Were A Kite vol.1 brought their earlier workContinue reading “April Magazine – Wesley’s Convertible Tape For The South”
Now – Saturday’s Child
A few days ago I was driving to work listening to this album, feeling a little sorry for myself about the long night ahead. As the chorus to the anthemic Hang On To Your Dreams came in I felt my eyes begin to fill with tears, as every lost opportunity or long forgotten dream I’dContinue reading “Now – Saturday’s Child”
The Gabys – s/t
I have recently found and fallen for this wonderful 7”/download that arrived late last year on the splendidly named California based label Fruits & Flowers. The Gabys are a UK duo and……… that’s literally everything I can find. How perfect. No hype, no drama, no promises. Just these four perfect moments in time. This wholeContinue reading “The Gabys – s/t”
