Introducing Matt Bachmann Posted 18 Sep 2018

Orindal Records is pleased to announce Unconditional Love, the new album by Brooklyn-based musician/composer/songwriter Matt Bachmann (of Mega Bog & Big Eater). Unconditional Love is a patient, atmospheric pop album loaded with uncanny ambient textures & impellent rhythms, & carried by Matt's tender falsetto. Unconditional Love will be released on cassette & digital formats on November 2, 2018.

Brooklyn Vegan premiered the first single, "To Be in Love" today, calling it "a very pretty dose of atmospheric bedroom pop." Matt will be touring the US throughout the fall in support of Unconditional Love's release, playing select dates with Lisa/Liza, Ed Askew & Harmony Tividad (of Girlpool). Listen to the stream of "To Be in Love" & read up on all of Matt's tour dates HERE.

The Line of Best Fit premieres "Smoke" by Gia Margaret Posted 12 Jul 2018

Yesterday, The Line of Best Fit premiered "Smoke," the second single from Gia Margaret's debut album, There's Always Glimmer.

Writer Sam Briggs said:

"Margaret’s writing taps into the fragility of happiness – the immensely overwhelming feeling of something you’ve wished for so vividly becoming real, the moment you surrender yourself to it. From the gentle cascading piano line that acts as the spine of the song’s crescendo, to the double-tracked near-whisper of the vocal melody, the soft-focus comfort of the song’s feeling of stillness layers itself like a Sunday den."

Read the full article, including a brief interview with Gia, HERE.

"Smoke" is now available to stream & download on all digital platforms.

There's Always Glimmer will be released on vinyl & digital formats on July 27. Pre-order your copy HERE.
