 Memories Crash On My Heart cassingle |
impresarios of Gnar Tapes , indefatigable international Oregon songwriters & sworn enemies of sister band White Fang come to OSR to spread their massage of tenderness and emotional flexibility . I love these guys , they really remind me of Shoes in the best way . their songs always take up a slice of reality with instinctive playfulness & optimism & grace , & the music is just beautifully content w/ its unembellished formal simplicity . they've already made a ton of music but Rikky & his trikksters are always just starting , so freshly do they tread . 9 minutes , art by Sarah Smith hear "We Can Call It Whatever" at Soundcloud |
 Palberta My Pal Berta cassette |
this is Ani , Lily & Nina's first record as Palberta , an absolutely incredible , dynamic rock band from upstate NY , impeccably recorded by Paco Cathcart [Big Neck Police] on a cassette 4 track with xtra clarity & vivid style . if you see the band live you'll notice they switch off on guitar , bass & drums , this is totally original music and I won't consign even a bit of it to description , it's too good for that , so you're on your own ! 23 minutes , art by the band hear "When I Come" at Soundcloud or stream the whole thing at bandcamp |
