Listen: Camera Obscura – “Razzle Dazzle Rose” [2006]

By and far the best song named after a Crayola crayon, “Razzle Dazzle Rose” is the magnificent closer to one of my all-time favorite albums, Camera Obscura’s 2006 record Let’s Get Out of This Country. It perfectly toes the line … Continue reading

Listen: Hatchie – “Stay With Me” [2019]

This Hatchie album is good, but “Stay With Me” is so good, it’s almost unfair. Created in a test tube with the atomic components that make up all the dreamiest, breeziest, most romantic late-90s radio jams. Pure melody.

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

Did you ever think you’d hear a ska + bubblegum bass mash? Well, prepare to fool yourself. I don’t know why, but this both makes me feel so old and so hypnotized.

Listen: Laura Stevenson – “Rattle At Will” [2019]

Laura Stevenson has been on the fringe of my “oh yeah I’ve listened to her album from 2013 once or twice, enjoyed it, but haven’t listened to any of her music” consciousness for, well, the past six years. She recently … Continue reading

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

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
