Listen: I Was A King – “Slow Century” [2019]

Some real slick, satisfying power pop from the south of Norway! Getting some Yo La Tengo vibes on this one. Very summery – I can picture this playing at sunset on a very nice day.

Listen: 100 gecs – “stupid horse” [2019]

Listen: Drowse – “Between Fence Posts” [2019]

Posted on June 17, 2019 by Very Warm

Definitely not music made for enjoying the summer, but more reminiscing on how isolating and desolate the winter will be – perfect for introspection. Portland, OR musician Drowse follows the leads of other PNW artists like Phil Elverum and Grouper … Continue reading →
