Gia Margaret & her band (featuring Izzy Olive of Half Gringa on backing vocals) recently taped six songs for Audiotree, including a brand song called "Solid Heart." Watch video of the full session above, or stream/purchase audio at http://smarturl.it/AT-Gia-Margaret
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."

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.

Greg Jamie is heading out on a short solo tour of the American east coast & south, & he's meeting up with Orindal labelmates Moon Racer, Advance Base, Matt Bachmann & Lisa/Liza along the way! You'll find more details & ticket links on the Orindal tour page.
