Vancouver, BC singer/songwriter Nicholas Krgovich returns with Boss Tape, his first solo release since 2023’s Ducks LP. Self-produced & recorded at home & at the Wise Hall in Vancouver, Boss Tape is a collection of Bruce Springsteen covers performed with the small ensemble of Julia Chien (percussion), Julia Chirka (bass clarinet, backing vocals), Thom Gill (guitar) & Krgovich on keys & vocals. Boss Tape is out May 8, 2026 on Orindal Records. Focusing on the tender side of Springsteen’s catalog, Boss Tape collects eight minimally-arranged ballads full of longing & regret. Lead single “Gave It a Name” (an outtake from Springsteen’s 1992 album Human Touch & finally released in 1998 on the Tracks box set) is a biblical rumination on the origins of guilt & shame sung low & gentle by Krgovich with bare bones electric piano figure & tambourine accompaniment.

Nicholas Krgovich on Boss Tape:

“On November 22nd 2024 I bought the single cheapest ticket I could find to see Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band right before the show. It was 258 dollars. I did the same thing on November 26th 2012 only I bought two and went with my little brother Mikey and they were 48 each. I feel like if someone whose music you love comes to town you just go if you can. A couple weeks went by after the concert and I was still in a Boss reverie. I had a show coming up and as per usual I didn't know what I was going to do so I decided "maybe I'll play all Springsteen songs and I'll do it with two Julias". The Julias said yes and one afternoon I learned 8 songs and made a quick recording of each of them as a guide for my bandmates. This tape is the keys and singing from that original sketch recording which a year later we finished by adding Julia Chien's percussion, Julia Chirka's bass clarinet and Thom Gill's guitar. Hope you like it!”

Boss Tape is available for pre-order on cassette & digital formats HERE

Watch the music video for "I Don't Wanna Stay" by bobbie Posted 17 Feb 2026

"I Don't Wanna Stay" is the final advance single & music video from bobbie's forthcoming album Lessons (out March 6 on Orindal Records).

The music video is a dream-like, ambient video essay directed by bobbie (aka bobbie shuster).

bobbie says:

“I Don’t Wanna Stay” is the final track on “Lessons”. The song has evolved from earlier lo fi recordings to include looping layers of harmony, omnichord trills, wandering guitar riffs, and synth texture. Longing is a reoccurring theme on “Lessons,” and “I Don’t Wanna Stay” has a particular saudade. The song asks are we ready for change? How do we hold our grief, disappointment, and nostalgia?

“I Don’t Wanna Stay” was written by bobbie & produced by bobbie & Felix Walworth (of Florist & Told Slant). "I Don’t Wanna Stay" Engineering by Felix Walworth. Mastering by Josh Bonati.

Watch the music video for "Cloud Vision" from bobbie's forthcoming album Lessons Posted 21 Jan 2026

My spirit directive / a cosmic perspective / is let it be put down / and love what it taught me.

Lessons is the new record from bobbie. This is their first release with Orindal Records. bobbie lives in Western Massachusetts, where they alchemize dream pop ethereality, twinkly ambient abstraction and intimate vocal clarity into their unmistakable sound.

Distorted Omnichord autoharp looping, layers of drone-y synthesizers and low, reverberating guitar crack open into a wide sonic landscape. bobbie architects this atmosphere then introduces rhythm (often just Omnichord pre-set drum beats but also live drums from Lessons engineer, Felix Walworth of Florist and Told Slant) and then adds the lyrical presence. The songs are deeply layered and spatial but with a clear vocal throughline. There is harmony and dimensionality to this assemblage.

bobbie evokes the ambient qualities of Enya, Brian Eno and Cocteau Twins as well as the pop-y poetic vibes of Dear Nora and Frankie Cosmos. Influences range widely from artists such as Laraaji, Beach House, Arthur Russell, Bill Callahan, Beverly-Glenn Copeland, Alice Coltrane, Astrud Gilberto, to projects like Plantasia and to recurring dreams + visions. When they wake up in the morning, bobbie often records themself dictating and attempting to make meaning of the previous night’s dream. Much of their album’s imagery comes from this practice.

bobbie on Lessons
Lessons is an artifact of love, curiosity and humility. This is one spec/snapshot into one spirit aka me being real.

“CLOUD VISION”
“Cloud Vision” is the first track on Lessons. Omnichord and synthesizers open the song with gentle texture, and bobbie’s guitar playing is warm and resonant. Live drums by Felix Walworth (of Florist & Toldslant) push the song forward with a steady walking pace. We are journeying towards a clearing or wide vantage point. "Cloud Vision" is now streaming everywhere.

“Cloud Vision” was written by bobbie & produced by bobbie & Felix Walworth. Engineering and drums by Felix Walworth. Mastering by Josh Bonati.

bobbie on “Cloud Vision”
“Cloud Vision” evokes the ephemerality and mystery of art and love. There is a hopefulness for what’s becoming and humility as to knowing its origin.

Lessons is available for pre-order on limited edition purple vinyl, classic black vinyl, cassette & digital formats HERE.

10,000 Rivers by Robert Stillman is out now! Posted 09 Jan 2026

10,000 Rivers, the new album by Maine-born, UK-based multi-instrumentalist & composer Robert Stillman is a speculative suite of jazz, ambient and smooth pop-inspired compositions that challenge the myths of Silicon Valley’s early ‘90s techno-utopianism.

Robert Stillman didn’t set out to make a concept album about Steve Jobs. But as a composer and improviser whose music asks questions about his relationship with reality, a curiosity about the promises and follies of technology took him there.

Following an intuitive path from James Bridle’s acclaimed book on non-human intelligence Ways of Being to the seminal 1995 essay “The California Ideology”, Stillman arrived at Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple founder Steve Jobs – and what would become the catalyst for his new album.

“10,000 Rivers points to an alternative narrative about a man who is tormented by the instability of his reality, so tries to invent his way out of it,” Stillman explains. “Ultimately, his tech designs become expressions of his will to replace the messy, disordered, temporary nature of the world with something that strives to be barely physical: streamlined, symmetrical, uncomplicated, and deathless.”

Highly original, wholly unclassifiable, 10,000 Rivers is part cultural critique, part sonic biography and takes the form of a series of songs, instrumentals and abstract soundscapes that respond directly to moments or paradigms from Jobs’ life.

PRAISE FOR 10,000 RIVERS:

"There's an echo of the plastic transparency of '80s soft-pop, but fed through the oneiric strangeness and dissembled, improvisatory tone-poems of the likes of Lonnie Holley or Arthur Russell; Stillman is similarly idiosyncratic in his approach and expression." – UNCUT

"For all its digital trappings, this is a deeply human record, and one of the finest Stillman has made to date." – Aquarium Drunkard

"...an exploration of reality and the ways the assertations and delusions of the tech industry attempt to shape it..." – Various Small Flames

"This is not mindless, mundane music...It’s thoughtful, challenging and difficult, but it’s also musical, playful and serene." – 13th Floor Elevator

10,000 Rivers vinyl is distributed in North America by The Business & Revolver / Midheaven.

Listen to "I Could Call You", bobbie's first single for Orindal Records Posted 17 Dec 2025

Orindal Records is proud to announce that Western Massachusetts dream pop artist bobbie has joined the label roster.

bobbie’s sound can be described as existing somewhere between meditative/atmospheric (think Enya, Eno, Cocteau Twins) and a more structured, pop-y poetic style. Influences range widely— Laraaji, Beach House, Arthur Russell, Alice Coltrane, Bill Callahan, Beverly-Glen Copeland, Björk, and Astrud Gilberto to name a few.

In 2023, bobbie released their first full-length album, Rhododendron, on Flower Sounds, a label based in Greenfield, MA. Before that they self-released several home-recorded projects ready to be explored on their Bandcamp page.

Today we're sharing bobbie's first single for Orindal Recods, "I Could Call You". "I Could Call You" was written by bobbie & produced by bobbie & Felix Walworth (of Florist & Told Slant). Felix also engineered & played drums on the song. "I Could Call You" was mastered by Josh Bonati.

"I Could Call You" is a reflective and melancholic song that grows in sound and scope. bobbie plays with twinkly omnichord, twisting synth drones, fuzzy twangy guitar riffs, and strong percussive layering of live drums over an omnichord preset drum beat. The song reaches its emotional and sonic peak in the final chorus with the repeated line, “I could call you,” both the first and last of the song. The developed meaning of these words are met with an expanded sound of layered vocals and loud, atmospheric instrumental textures.

Orindal will be sharing more music from bobbie in the new year.

Watch Robert Stillman's music video for "No Off" Posted 16 Dec 2025

"No Off" is the new single/video from Robert Stillman's forthcoming album 10,000 Rivers out January 9, 2026 on Orindal (US) / Kit (UK). 10,000 Rivers is a speculative suite of jazz, ambient and smooth pop-inspired compositions that challenge the myths of Silicon Valley's early '90s techno-utopianism.

In Stillman's words: "No Off" is a song about Steve Jobs's greatest design project: himself. One of his colleagues astutely interpreted Jobs's elimination of the 'off' button from his devices as an expression of his fear of death. "No Off" takes this idea as a point of departure-it is a tragic dream (sung from Jobs's perspective) of physical transcendence through perfect life engineering. The video articulates these ideas through a sculpture, responding specifically to the image of 'a vessel made of glass' in the lyrics.

10,000 Rivers will be released January 9, 2026 by Orindal Records (US) & KIT Records (UK).

Spencer Radcliffe surprise releases new album Ohio Music with feature-length tour documentary Live and Die Ohio Music Posted 14 Nov 2025

(Photo credit: Al Maloney)

Spencer Radcliffe is a songwriter and general music-doer born, raised, living and working in the great state of Ohio. A nearly twenty-year tumble of recordings, tours, tapes, fliers, ideas (some finished, some abandoned), bands formed and faded etc… arrives finally at this- “Ohio Vision”.

Crafted slowly in bursts and breaks from 2019-2025, “Ohio Vision” marks the return to a fully solo endeavor- the first since 2015’s “Looking In”, following two records with backing band “Everyone Else” (2017’s “Enjoy the Great Outdoors” and 2019’s “Hot Spring”). At present moment, Radcliffe’s vehicle for song-making operates vaguely on the highway of rock and roll as it were, with a taste for the best of many interconnected worlds. Fuzzy hypnotic rockers, soft hayseed jammers, unhinged experimental freakouts, all of it. The ten tracks contained herein chronicle a six year span of returning to Ohio, working, thinking, living, loving, losing and so forth.

Mixed and mastered by the noble Bradford Krieger at Big Nice Studio (Lincoln, RI), the album is available now as a limited cassette tape via Orindal Records.

Purchase "Ohio Vision" on cassette & digital formats HERE.

Accompanying the release of “Ohio Vision” is “Live and Die Ohio Music,” a feature length documentary by Nick Ertman following a small run of east coast shows with friends Horse Jumper of Love in November of 2024. The film captures numerous live performances of “Ohio Vision” cuts and the lived moments in between.

Listen to "Reality Distortion Field" from Robert Stillman's forthcoming album 10,000 Rivers Posted 29 Oct 2025

"Reality Distortion Field" is our first peek at Robert Stillman's forthcoming album 10,000 Rivers- a speculative suite of jazz, ambient and smooth pop-inspired compositions that challenge the myths of Silicon Valley’s early ‘90s techno-utopianism.

Robert Stillman didn’t set out to make a concept album about Steve Jobs. But as a composer and improviser whose music asks questions about his relationship with reality, a curiosity about the promises and follies of technology took him there.

Following an intuitive path from James Bridle’s acclaimed book on non-human intelligence Ways of Being to the seminal 1995 essay “The California Ideology”, Stillman arrived at Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple founder Steve Jobs – and what would become the catalyst for his new album.

“10,000 Rivers points to an alternative narrative about a man who is tormented by the instability of his reality, so tries to invent his way out of it,” Stillman explains. “Ultimately, his tech designs become expressions of his will to replace the messy, disordered, temporary nature of the world with something that strives to be barely physical: streamlined, symmetrical, uncomplicated, and deathless.”

Highly original, wholly unclassifiable, 10,000 Rivers is part cultural critique, part sonic biography and takes the form of a series of songs, instrumentals and abstract soundscapes that respond directly to moments or paradigms from Jobs’ life.

10,000 Rivers' first single, "Reality Distortion Field," is from the perspective of Jobs himself, speaking to his estranged biological mother.

From Stillman:

"Throughout his life Jobs repeatedly downplayed the significance of his adoption, but it's hard not to see his obsession with control as a reaction to the instability that rupture left him with. His Apple colleagues used the phrase 'Reality Distortion Field' to describe his ability to bend people's perception of what was realistic in order to achieve his aims; this song frames the RDF as part of Jobs's lifelong struggle to 'create' his way out of chaos.

"The video accompanying the track was created by the artist/author James Bridle (Ways of Being; New Dark Age) as part of the process of creating the album artwork for 10,000 Rivers. Taking the lyric 'Nothing here is real that isn't touched by these hands' as a point of departure for the work, the video utilizes hand-tracking software to isolate Jobs's elaborate gestural language during the 2007 iPhone product launch."

10,000 Rivers will be released January 9, 2026 by Orindal Records (US) & KIT Records (UK).

Watch Greg Jamie's music video for "Wanna Live" Posted 15 Oct 2025

"Wanna Live" is the final single from Greg Jamie's excellent new album of hypnagogic pop & gothic folk, Across a Violet Pasture. Our thanks to Post-Trash for premiering the music video which was filmed & directed by Ryan Marshall.

From Post-Trash's Dan Goldin:

“Wanna Live” is the record’s disorienting centerpiece, a track that ripples with an anxious anxiety and a haunting beauty. With drums provided by Mark Fede (Fat History Month), there’s a steady pulse that allows everything else to swirl, the melodies moving in circular patterns as instruments pop and fade in relation to the rhythm. Greg Jamie’s vocals feel like a perfect fit and yet a contrast to it all as he laments the deterioration of a relationship with a shaky but assured, “I want my ego back. I want my baby back”. The video, directed by Ryan Marshall, brings Jamie’s lyrics from his lips to your ears, quite literally, up close and personal with both the artist and the gorgeous simplicity of the nature that seems to inform his sound.

To celebrate the release of Across a Violet Pasture, Greg Jamie is playing live shows around Maine, New York & Wisconsin throughout the fall. More info & tour dates here.
