Along with the album's announcement, the trio have shared their first single, "Of the Lit Backyards". The piece, written by McCombs, was composed as a meditation on the adaptability of human beings, turning the glow of newly reconfigured outdoor spaces safer to gather in during lockdowns into swaying western Americana.

Dommengang channel heavy blues ecstasy on new single "Blue & Peaceful"; new album out 21 Apr

Ahead of the trio's thundering new album Wished Eye, out 21 April, Portland trio Dommengang have shared new single “Blue & Peaceful”.

Listen to "Blue & Peaceful" now

Capturing the energy of their live shows “Blue & Peaceful” masterfully shifts from explosive to expansive on a knife-edge. The title is no misnomer, as this searing track tells the tale of frustration and anger, kicking against the sky as the protagonist struggles to find stability. The message, delivered with high octane aplomb, is “the importance of a little silence and stillness in an absurd world”, as bassist and vocalist Brian Markham explains.

Wished Eye is available to preorder now on limited-edition coke bottle clear color vinyl and CD.

Having worked together in a variety of formats over the past, Trace marks their first fully collaborative effort, synthesizing their myriad skills as songwriters, performers, and sound artists into vivid, profoundly moving music.

Along with the album announcement, the duo have shared the first single "Thieves." The gripping piece applies a jittering rhythmic pulse and sampled cello harmonics that tug forward anxiously before distorted cello thrusts transform the piece into something more resolute.

Rose City Band share rollicking new single "Slow Burn"; new album out Apr. 21

Ahead of the release of new album Garden Party, out April 21st, Rose City Band have shared the rollicking new single "Slow Burn."

Listen to "Slow Burn" now

“Slow Burn” drives bandleader and vocalist/guitarist Ripley Johnson’s (Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo) signature cosmic sound into the roots of the earth, twisting more grounded phrases and homespun bends around the rollicking rhythm section. Pedal steel guitarist Barry Walker’s range as a pedal steel player is on full display throughout with classic licks dancing in tandem with Johnson’s voice.

We have the last copies of the limited-edition blue vinyl version up to preorder now on the store - once they're gone, they're gone!

Rose City Band will also be touring worldwide following the release of Garden Party this spring, including support from Rosali in Europe and the UK. Full list of dates here.

Ahead of the release of their new duo album on March 24th, Mats Gustafsson and Joachim Nordwall are sharing new single "THERE ARE SOME WORLDS WHERE ALL DREAMS DIE (en glad stund)".

Listen to the track now

Exploring the mind-altering power and sheer physicality of low-end frequencies, Nordwall anchors the track with a colossal black-hole bass pulse. Gustafsson's shapeshifting saxophone guides the listener through the trance, with long-breathy notes emerging like smoke tendrils from rippling radio static before fragmenting into spidery percussive architectures.

Mats Gustafsson & Joachim Nordwall's new album THEIR POWER REACHED ACROSS SPACE AND TIME-TO DEFY THEM WAS DEATH-OR WORSE is available to preorder now on limited-edition interdimensional jade vinyl.
