From the singer-songwriter vaults, where demos become destiny: Matt DeMello's Jennifer's Appendix, Vol. 1 unearths garage rock pivots, anti-folk looseness, and GarageBand confessions from the shadow of 2014 — Paul Simon to Wolf Like Me, lovingly restored. Solid Blood's Western Sun brings math-y, dreamy, emotive post-rock indie from the Rue Defense universe, while Alexei Shishkin's Good Times captures a surrealist four-day studio escape built on loose bass lines and zero blueprints. Jack Hayter's Sucky Tart offers world-beaten balladry that Pitchfork called "weariest" and BBC 6 Music likened to "Tom Waits running amok in a second-hand music shop."
Singer Songwriter releases
“A collection of acoustic/folk live field recordings of existing songs and a few new debuts from singer-songwriter Zane Alexander”
“a mishmash of rock and soul, indie, acoustic, psychadelia with the odd electronic beat thrown in here and there”
“Lo-fi acoustic songs about identity and belonging, sung across cultures, sung in French and Spanish”
“A lo-fi, live-first acoustic EP about loss and the quiet collapse of the world around us.”
