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.
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.

Momentary Glance is Victoria's first album of electric guitar
recordings, half of which feature the recording debut of her live band
(comprised of fellow Mainers Jonathan Downs, Devin Ivy & Pete
Swegart). Momentary Glance was recorded & mixed by Efrim Manuel
Menuck (of Godspeed! You Black Emperor & Thee Silver Mt. Zion
Memorial Orchestra) at his hotel2tango studio in Montreal, with the
exception of the song “Tea Kettle,” which was recorded & mixed by
Colby Nathan at New Fruit Collective in Portland, Maine.
This morning, Stereogum premiered the epic first single, "The Matador Pt 2," calling it "a meditative eight minutes of downtuned strumming and world-weary
searching that serves as a continuation of a theme she first explored on
a song
from 2014. “I turned around to see the stars/ It wasn’t where the
answers are,” she sings, letting those hanging questions fill up the
empty space around her. It’s patient and enveloping, and in comparison
to the earlier version of this song, it allows even more room for quiet
and shaky contemplation.
"Victoria has an uncanny knack for intense atmospherics — her debut album
utilized only her voice and an acoustic guitar, and with her
forthcoming sophomore album, Momentary Glance, she opens up her
sound. It’s her first electric album, made with her new live band and
recorded by Godspeed! You Black Emperor’s Efrim Manuel Menuck at his
studio in Montreal. It’s a collection of gently unfurling tracks
centered around Victoria’s placid voice and an intoxicating static buzz."
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

Brooklyn Vegan premiered the first single, "To Be in Love" today, calling it "a very pretty dose of atmospheric bedroom pop."
