Jenny and Johnny

I’m Having Fun Now

Jenny and Johnny first started working together in Los Angeles in 2005, after being introduced by Conor Oberst.

The exuberance of love songs like ‘Scissor Runner’ mask some of the record’s darkness, with Lewis chronicling the economic demise of her beloved California in ‘Big Wave’, Rice’s haunting vocal on ‘Animal’, and both songwriters raising a middle-finger kiss off in the acerbic ‘My Pet Snakes’.

The overall result is genuine and original pop music for ‘Right Now’. This is not a Rilo Kiley record, a Jenny Lewis record, or a Johnathan Rice record. This is Jenny and Johnny

Wild Nothing

Gemini

Wild Nothing is the solo project of Virginia born Jack Tatum.

Despite his youth (Tatum is in his early twenties) his music is the product of romantic nostalgia and an obsession with the sounds of the past.

Reminiscent of The Cure, Cocteau Twins and My Bloody Valentine, the songs on ‘Gemini’ sound familiar but slightly warped, somehow revivalist and modern at the same time.

Admiral Radley

I Heart California

Debut release from a new band comprised of Grandaddy frontman Jason Lytle and former Grandaddy drummer Aaron Burtch and Earlimart members Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray.

Wolf Parade

Expo 86

The third album from the Montreal-based Alt Rockers. Recorded during a matter of weeks, Expo 86 finds Wolf Parade slimming themselves down to a four-piece lineup and continuing to explore the intersection of Indie Rock and Post-Punk.

Steve Mason

Boys Outside

2010 album from the British singer/songwriter, formerly with The Beta Band, King Biscuit Time and Black Affair.

Boys Outside appears under his own name, because, he says, he’s had enough of all the aliases, and because, more than ever in his life, he’s comfortable in his own skin.

Also, he’s proud of these 10 songs, whose sparse, haunting arrangements bespeak economy, maturity and focus.

Boys Outside is fully the equal of The Beta Band’s The Three EP’s, packed with inventively sculpted sounds and sublime melodies, and shot through with a rare emotional honesty.

Hot Hot Heat

Future Breeds

The fourth album from the Alt-Rockers.

Hot Hot Heat have been recording in their own studio based in Vancouver,  since their last major co-headlining tour with Editors.

The band also has a new member, Parker Bossley, replacing longtime member Dustin Hawthorne.
