Press play and disappear: phoneswithchords & Ben Sooy crafted their unplanned, joyful indie lo-fi folk gem by swapping voice memos across the internet — overthinking strictly forbidden. Start-Track's Sampler '25 collects a year's worth of cassette-label discoveries while splitting proceeds between their blog and a Slovak homelessness charity. Alexei Shishkin captures a lucid four-day escape from reality via surrealist improvisation and collage, while Rebekkah The Band spins a poem into a melody — a short story of war, love, and what we were made for. 97 Sound Signal rounds things out with Cursive Earth.
