LISA/LIZA: "Tea Kettle" premiere + 12/2 Chicago show Posted 12 Nov 2018

This morning, Various Small Flames premiered "Tea Kettle," the third single from Lisa/Liza's forthcoming Orindal CD/LP, Momentary Glance. Writer Jon Doyle said this:

"The majority of the songs on the record clock in at over seven minutes, and ‘Tea Kettle’ is a no exception. However, where long tracks are often a lesson in maximalist indulgence, those of Lisa/Liza are born of patience and natural rhythms, where space and silence are as important as the music itself. It is this that makes the songs of Momentary Glance feel so pertinent to Victoria’s personal trauma despite pre-dating it—an unhurried connection to the textures of existence will always come to represent the sharp vicissitudes of life."

Read Jon's entire piece & listen to "Tea Kettle" HERE.

Pre-order Momentary Glance on CD, LP, or limited edition color vinyl bundle (including a bonus cassette & poster) HERE.

Today, we are also pleased to announce a 12/2 Chicago record release show for both Lisa/Liza's Momentary Glance & the CD edition of the new Orindal Records sampler, "Gentle Weirdos." The show will happen at Landland print shop. Advance Base & Izzy Olive (of Half Gringa) are also on the bill. Tickets are $8 & available HERE.

Listen to "Real Estate" by Lisa/Liza Posted 29 Oct 2018

This morning, Post-Trash premiered "Real Estate," the second single from Lisa/Liza's forthcoming album, Momentary Glance (out Nov 30). Post-Trash's Dan Goldin describes the song as follows:

Kept primarily to a hush, the bare-bones approach to the finger-picked melody and gently commanding vocals feels like a presence of another time, reflections of memories brought to life during the cold winter months. (Liza) Victoria’s poetic vocals recalling specific moments that feel abstract but reflective, an open-framework to a world both ruminative and transportive as she sings, “Watch the stars fall apart / Makes the road to no-place / Seem a lot less lost / And you seem a lot less lost.”

Goldin goes on to describe Momentary Glance as a whole as "about as beautiful as they come, each performance stretched out with dimly shimmering clarity and blissful patience." You can read the full article HERE.

You can pre-order Momentary Glance as a CD, LP, download, or a special edition colored vinyl + bonus cassette bundle HERE.


Listen to "Hi Beams" by Matt Bachmann (featuring Erin Birgy of Mega Bog) Posted 26 Oct 2018

This morning, Week in Pop premiered "Hi Beams,' the second single from Mega Bog bassist Matt Bachmann's latest solo tape, Unconditional Love (out 11/2 on Orindal). "Hi Beams" features guest vocals from Matt's Mega Bog bandmate Erin Birgy (pictured above with Matt). Week in Pop's Sjimon Gompers says:

"Hi Beams" serenely drives with a sentimental sincerity that coasts sweetly and deeply into the calm mysteries of night. The understated and intimate vocal trade-off between and Bachmann and Birgy creates the sensation of spending time on a late evening road trip with a loved one.
