  geoff gordon (stylized lower case) is built around the twin lead vocals and songwriting of Shannon Straney and Dan LaFave, each of whom sings lead on their own tunes. They range far and wide across the indie spectrum, often within the same track…

  Full Body own their name. The Rochester, NY quartet play a robust breed of gangly rock music that lurches in the intersection between impatient slowcore, gnarled shoegaze, and noisy post-hardcore. The band introduced their dynamically sensitive…

  A tear fell from The Sun and cousins Robert and Dan witnessed it fall from atop a summer mountain in a moment outside of time. Since then they have been on a quest, a quest of love. Wherever PIP goes, they go there with one purpose, and one purpose…

  During the recording of last year’s release Kiku, The Parlor wrote a few songs that felt like outliers. Kiku was a tightly wound concept album but “Dream” and “Dive” were both pointing toward the other side of grief. “Dream” held in it the…

  Lunch Money was recorded over three days in an upstate cabin during March 2018. Produced by Ryan Slowey (Tree Walker Audio, Maggot Brain) with engineering by Craig Dutra (White Lodge Audio, Aficionado), the album was tracked live with virtually…

  Greens' self-titled debut EP is a poignant observation about the state of being between opposites. The alt-country revivalism is as much electronic and rock-tinged as it is constructed from back porch sing-alongs and gospel flavors. Like the band's…

  The Abyssmals present … ‘Gospels, Hymns, and Other Trash!’On their very first full band album, The Abyssmals have refined this fuzzed out collection of psychedelic garage rock songs and filtered them through their unique kaleidoscopic lens. Sonically…

  “Woods Come Find Me” concerns the end of a transition for Albany psych-folk outfit Bruiser & Bicycle as they evolved from a full rock band to a two-piece. Like waking up in an unfamiliar bed, only to find that the bed is in a forest clearing bathed…

  Self Titled Demon is the debut EP of Upstate New York 5-piece BURLY. Recorded at home from 2017-2018, the five tracks present an eclectic collection of musical influences and styles anchored in collaboration. BURLY members Ryan Stewart, Richard Nolan…

  Neighborhood of Make Believe have woven a dense and sonically diverse album reflecting on questions that often go overlooked. What is the difference between loneliness & solitude? Is being cynical wise or is being idealistic naive? Can you accept…

  Written while on the road in the summer of 2017, there’s an ever-evolving, thoughtful prose that is akin to frontman Joshua F. Marré’s insatiable appetite for stories bigger than himself. A keen reader and record collector, Marré will often be found…

  The four-song EP Still Beats was recorded in a cold basement in Albany, NY in the winter of 2018. The title track features Darius VanSluytman of early-00's afropunk outfit No Surrender gutturally yelping a verse, and Sandy Davis of Pecas contributes…

  From the opening chords of Rechorduroys self-titled album it seems they will be transporting you to a sunnier, breezier state of mind. Don’t get too lulled by the classic surf-rock vibes though; lead singer Benjamin Garrett is not speaking of…

  Multi-instrumentalist producer-songwriters Jen O’Connor and Eric Krans are fearless in their willingness to explore new sound palettes for their intimate brand of art-pop. Throughout their progression from indie-folk, to stomp and clap trance-folk…
