“A bold conceptual journey through progressive rock, folk and experimental songwriting, Jordi Farreras' most ambitious album yet.”
From garage demos to accidental institutions: Matt DeMello's Jennifer's Appendix Vol. 1 collects studio outtakes, GarageBand sessions, and voice memo recordings that pivot between garage rock, power pop, and the Great American Songbook, while A Sidewalker's Sweet Revenge captures his chaotic, deeply alive years orbiting NYC's legendary SideWalk Cafe — "equal parts artistic proving ground, emotional support group, and nervous breakdown." Alexei Shishkin's Good Times is a surrealist collage built from loose bass lines and four days of no-blueprint improvisation, and Solid Blood's Western Sun delivers math-y, dreamy, emotive post-rock from Rue Defense founder Graham W. Bell. Brian Jin's Horizons finds divinity in strange places — Hawaiian-cowboy-ukulele-jazz, dream-dictated melodies, and mandolin meditations — while RCHRDHRT's seems pointless honors the grand singer-songwriter tradition with eclectic, rock-based songs written, performed, and recorded entirely alone.

“Haunting, gorgeous, and occasionally unhinged solo EP from Jack Hayter (Hefner / Papernut Cambridge / Dollboy).”
