“'New Thing' is the 'scarily accomplished' (KLOF Mag) debut album from Brooklyn's Avery Friedman.”
Straight from the bedroom to your speakers: La Mano de Cervantes delivers ten unpretentious power pop slices drawing from early R.E.M. and The Wedding Present with a firmly underground ethos, while som som crafts an energetic yet introspective lo-fi indie banger about healing and reclaiming your voice. Auditory Cortex paints a mural of grief and impending doom across two haunting songs, and Parker Posies bring surfy riffs and bittersweet vocals layered over high school heartache — Gen Z girls with Gen X attitudes. No Museums rounds it out with fuzz that whirrs and grinds over the most jangly of melodic underlays.

“A best-of collection from a 'song of the week' challenge among a bedroom pop songwriting collective in 2018. Results range from Pavement to ABBA.”
