Stereogum premieres "White Fur" by Dear Nora Posted 11 Apr 2018

Dear Nora, the long time recording project of Katy Davidson (pronouns they/them), has shared "White Fur," the leadoff track from their upcoming Orindal LP, Skulls Example, their first album in over a decade. Stereogum premiered the track & interviewed Davidson today.

Stereogum says:

Skulls Example is about the persistence of human connection, the way that humanity tends to persevere despite all the opportunities we now have to shut everything out... Davidson’s wry observations have a way of worming their way into your psyche.

Like their landmark 2004 album, Mountain Rock, which was named Best New Reissue by Pitchfork last year, Skulls Example continues to explore Katy Davidson's fascination with the vast realms & intersections of wilderness, humanity, morality, technology, late capitalism, human connections & love during turbulent political times.

Skulls Example won't be released until May 25, but vinyl pre-orders begin shipping next week. Order your copy on black, clear, or limited edition transparent blue swirl vinyl HERE.

Additionally, Dear Nora has expanded their late spring tour to include some east coast shows. The tour includes dates with Nicholas Krgovich, Lisa/Liza, Stephen Steinbrink, Hand Habits & Harmony Tividad. You'll find more information on the TOUR DATES page.

Listen to "Friendly Ghost" by Moon Racer Posted 27 Mar 2018

This morning, GoldFlakePaint premiered "Friendly Ghost" from Moon Racer's upcoming Orindal cassette release, Is It Really a Secret? (out 4/20/18)

GoldFlakePaint says:

Led by soft drum-machine beats and waves of gentle keys, the track is gently captivating from the outset, the tender vocals which fade beautifully in to the elegant background, pertinently shaping the whole mood of the track, offering a sense of listless detachment that disappears just as you find yourself fully drawn in to its world.

"Friendly Ghost" is exclusively streaming on the GoldFlakePaint site. Listen HERE.

Pre-order Is It Really a Secret? by Moon Racer on limited edition cassette or digital formats HERE.

Introducing MOON RACER Posted 19 Mar 2018

On April 20, 2018, Orindal Records will release Is It Really a Secret?, an 8-song mini-album by Durham, NC Casio enthusiast & bedroom pop auteur Moon Racer.

This afternoon, The Fader premiered "New Crush," the first single from Is It Really a Secret? You can listen here.

The Fader says:

"New Crush" is a dream-like exercise in mood and melody, a droopy-eyed blur of percussive loops, delicate vocals, and light tape hiss. The lovelorn lyrics read like flash fiction: "Heard where you were, wrote the address down / dragged my friends with me across downtown / waited outside 'til we got freaked out." But they're mixed low and sung lazily, a reminder that narrative is just one gear in Moon Racer's hypnosis-inducing machine.
