    w/  Caicedo

    DANTE
    : Santa Barbara-based Ruben Zarate created the musical persona known as Dante Elephante in 2013. Shortly thereafter Lollipop Records released his first two LPs, German Aquatics and Anglo-Saxon Summer, both produced by Jonathan Rado (Foxygen), which saw praise from Consequence of Sound, Funny or Die, and Brooklyn Vegan. In the summer of 2018 Elephante then digitally released a full-length, Rare Attractions, leading to appearances at SXSW, Treefort Festival, as well as tours supporting The Orwells, Summer Salt, and Real Estate. Two records and a headlining tour under his belt, Dante Elephante now offers his most accomplished work to date: Mid-Century Modern Romance, produced by Paul Cherry, features eight soulful, disco-kissed tracks, seemingly right out of 1979.


     


    RUDY: In 2020, Rudy De Anda moved his homebase out of California for the first time. He was headed East. Somewhere in the back of the U-Haul, among the boxes and baggage, was a mostly finished record. Upon arriving in Chicago, Rudy quickly found the final pieces of his new LP, Closet Botanist. The record isn’t a total departure from Rudy’s beachy, psych-rock roots, but it does sound more mature. “These songs are personal to me. More than ever before, I was able to get to the point and get some things off my chest. It’s about lost love and lost friendships – it’s more visceral than any music I’ve made before.” Rudy dedicates the album to those who love so hard that they neglect to water their own garden. Even in a much colder climate, the closet botanist continues to grow.

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
    w/ Lo-Hi

    Swell, as it was, will never be again. But the original members are uniting for a tribute to David and the formative years of the band. They will be doing a short European tour in April 2023 playing favorite songs from the first 4 albums.

    Swell 2023 is co-founder Sean Kirkpatrick on drums, Monte Vallier on bass, Niko Wenner as lead guitar, and John Dettman-Lytle, original guitarist, stepping in to play acoustic guitar and take on the majority of the singing.

    Sean Kirkpatrick, drummer, started the collaboration with David in 1989 that led to the recording of the first album “Swell”. Sean’s unique drumming can be heard on all the albums through the 4th album “Too Many Days Without thinking”. Sean collaborated with David again in 2003 for the 7th album “Whenever You’re ready”.

    Sean is currently a celebrated visual artist living in Santa Barbara, California, and released a debut album in 2022 with his band The World is Haunted.

    Monte Vallier joined as press and radio publicist for David’s pSycho-sPecific Records release of the first album. When the need arose for the recording project to become a live band, Monte joined as bass player. He played on some tracks for the CD release of the first album “Swell” and continued writing, co-producing, and touring on all the albums until 2000’s Everybody Wants to Know, but left the band before that album was finished.  Monte is a producer and recording/mix engineer with hundreds of album credits currently living in Seattle.

    Niko Wenner is the longest playing electric guitarist with the band, touring as the lead player1993 through 2003. Niko is the primary songwriter and guitarist in the art-rock band Oxbow with 8 albums including the newest Love’s Holiday, which he produced with Joe Chiccarelli, out summer 2023 on Ipecac Records. Niko lives with his wife and children in San Francisco.

    John Dettman-Lytle learned a lot of guitar technique from David Freel, and the “Swell” strumming style has been ingrained. As loft mates at 41 Turk Street in San Francisco’s tenderloin neighborhood, he was there while Sean and David worked on the songs that would become the first album. David asked John to join as guitarist for the first live shows and the recording of the 2nd album “…Well?”. John, back then, was assistant art director at Thrasher Magazine and became a pioneer web developer in the dot-com era. Currently residing in Las Vegas, he has been remixing famous 60s hits by Herman’s Hermits as Dj Something Good, and is a consultant in the footwear industry.

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
    w/ Isabeau Waia'u Walker

    When Mason Jennings started writing songs for his new record, Songs From When We Met, he was in a setting he had never written in before. "I was living out at a farm for a month and walking through some old woods on the property every day. There was a river. And each day an owl would come find me, and then perch above me, day or night. I saw lots of snakes. Songs just came to me there. They were coming in so fast they just about took my head off. It was unlike anything I’ve experienced before,” recalls Jennings. In Native American animal medicine snakes symbolize rebirth, owls symbolize seeing what others cannot and turning darkness into light. Both are themes throughout the album and the music has a clear hopeful feeling.

    Songs From When We Met pulls you in from the start, with Jennings telling the listener, "Get into my car now...let's leave the city". “Cursive Prayers is the first song I wrote for the album. I hadn’t written anything in a long time and any time I tried writing things I wrote were very dark. This song is so hopeful and full of love it surprised me. I think it was the beginning of things getting better in my life, like a message from another dimension." 

    "The last record was made in a real dark time for me. I was battling a lot of dark energy. Since then I’ve healed a lot and a lot of changes have taken place. I got divorced. I’ve been healing from agoraphobia. It’s been a rough patch but thankfully this record is about healing and hope. I fell in love and got married so it is mostly about love." A great ambassador for the album is the slow grooving "I Know You". "The lyrics at the end of this song sum up the love tone of this album: “Most people don’t make sense to me, I don’t know much in this world you see, but I know you.”

    The story of Songs From When We Met comes to an end with the track "Magic Is Real". "The rain on this track is real. We opened the doors of the studio and put mics up and that’s the sound of rain on the trees in Wisconsin. Rain is healing."
    At the time in his career where a lot of musicians burn out, Mason has new energy and drive. "I’m just happy to have found true love and to be healing from that dark time. I was struggling to find hope and it found me. Music just burst out of me this year. It’s always been a life line but this is the most open I’ve felt."

    w/ Nourished by Time











    “I didn't feel like being introspective,” says Laetitia Tamko of her playful and adventurous new album Sorry I Haven’t Called. “I just wanted to have fun.” As Vagabon, Tamko is no stranger to reinvention. Following her intimate 2017 debut Infinite Worlds, the New York artist favored expansive and evocative electronic textures in her breakthrough 2019 self-titled follow-up. But her latest LP, which is out September 15 via Nonesuch, feels like a wholly new era for Tamko, one that’s transformational and uncompromising. Across 12 vibrant tracks she wrote and produced primarily in Germany, she channels dance music and effervescent pop through her own confident sensibilities. These conversational songs are alive and unselfconscious, a document of an artist fully embracing her vision and reclaiming her joy.

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
    w/ Dan Wriggins


    KARLY HARTZMAN

    A Wednesday song is a quilt. A short story collection, a half-memory, a patchwork of portraits of the American south, disparate moments that somehow make sense as a whole. Karly Hartzman, the songwriter/vocalist/guitarist at the helm of the project, is a story collector as much as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners. Rat Saw God, Wednesday's new and best record, is ekphrastic but autobiographical and above all, deeply empathetic. Rat Saw God is an album about riding a bike down a suburban stretch in Greensboro while listening to My Bloody Valentine for the first time on an iPod Nano, past a creek that runs through the neighborhood riddled with broken glass bottles and condoms, a front yard filled with broken and rusted car parts, a lonely and dilapidated house reclaimed by kudzu. Four Lokos and rodeo clowns and a kid who burns down a corn field. Roadside monuments, church marquees, poppers and vodka in a plastic water bottle, the shit you get away with at Jewish summer camp, strange sentimental family heirlooms at the thrift stores. The way the South hums alive all night in the summers and into fall, the sound of high school football games, the halo effect from the lights polluting the darkness. It’s not really bright enough to see in front of you, but in that stretch of inky void – somehow – you see everything. The songs on Rat Saw God don’t recount epics, just the everyday. They’re real life, blurry and chaotic and strange – which is in-line with Hartzman’s own ethos: “Everyone’s story is worthy,” she says, plainly. “Literally every life story is worth writing down, because people are so fascinating.”


    MJ LENDERMAN
    MJ Lenderman is a songwriter born and raised in Asheville, North Carolina. The anatomy of an MJ record might go something like this: warped pedal steels and skuzzed out guitar; a voice reminiscent of the high-lonesome warble of a choirboy; musings of a front-stoop philosopher. Songs snake their way from a lo-fi home recording to something glossier made with longtime friends at Asheville’s Drop of Sun studios, but the recording setting doesn’t seem to matter much – at its core, a Lenderman song rings true. These are songs about everything from a relationship disintegrating outside the high-end butcher shop to a sighting of football star Dan Marino at the local Harris Teeter; from a love song built around a t-shirt kiosk at the airport, the malaise of a grill rusting in the rain. And those are just some of the things you might find across his three solo records: MJ Lenderman (2019), Ghost of Your Guitar Solo (2021), and break-through acclaimed studio debut, Boat Songs (2022). Lenderman’s songwriting is simple and true, stories delivered with a loping, easy vibe - a shrug of the shoulders, off-the-cuff guitar riffs fuzzy, a tangle of pedal steel and rock ‘n’ roll distortion culminating in alt-country cacophony. An MJ Lenderman song feels like a postcard from a hazy memory, the unpredictable bits and details that end up sticking – bird songs from the rafters of a hardware store, a real good Bob Dylan cover – and what make a story whole.

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION

    w/ Salo Panto & Anna Diem


    The Fourth Wall was formed in 2011 on the island of Oahu. After releasing their first record Motion & Rest, they quickly gained local notoriety, opening for visiting national acts like Andrew Bird, The Shins, and Menomena. In 2012, The band relocated to Portland, Oregon. Since their move, they've released two highly acclaimed records through Portland label, Bug Hunt. The Portland Mercury called their 2015 album Lovely Violence “something of a wonder: an engrossing, fully realized and vitalized record with no easy musical touchstone."  The band went on a few tours following the release of Lovely Violence and landed an opening spot with Band of Horses. 


    Like their second record, their latest release, Infinite Other (2018) was self-recorded in a variety of locations (including an empty warehouse in southeast Portland). Atwood Magazine writes of the record, "Littered with intimate reflections on the individual’s relationship with the world, the record marries raw noise with tasteful melodies and vulnerable emotions to craft a powerful, enveloping, and uniquely enchanting listening experience that is sure to stand the test of time." After the release of Infinite Other, The Fourth Wall toured with fellow Portland band Typhoon. 

    In March of 2024, The Fourth Wall will be releasing their new full length LP through DevilDuck records, titled Return Forever. The album was first inspired by a moment in songwriter Stephen Agustin’s family history in which he learned that a close relative had left behind a young daughter when she moved to the United States, turning away from her past life and creating one anew. Shocked though he was, Agustin soon became fascinated with the idea of the “poetry of forgetfulness.”

    Megan Diana

    Step into the ethereal world of Megan Diana, where Dream Country Disco unfolds its  sequined covered tapestry. Pioneering this new genre, Megan weaves together enchanting melodies, vintage keyboard magic and her ethereal vocals.


    With masterful strokes, she takes her Fender Rhodes, guides it through an echo pedal, giving birth to extra layers of atmosphere & rhythm . Lush layers of French horn infuse her music with an otherworldly aura, while throwback drum grooves ground each beat with that good nostalgia - to top it all off  Megan layers in spacey-racey pedal steel guitar for extra cosmic beauty. 


    Megan is currently engrossed in releasing her highly anticipated second album - "Cabin Fever." Delving deeper into uncharted realms of musical invention, pushing boundaries and dancing under any disco ball she can find (or bring to the venue).  Let’s Boogie!


    Sheers

    Sheers brings a fresh form of alternative pop where classical construction, flashy harp lines, and folk storytelling meld together seamlessly. Songwriter Lily Breshears developed a distinct sound over years of being a session harpist, which you can hear behind the voices of Moses Sumney, Weyes Blood, and more. Backing musicians Adriana Wagner (trombone) and Liz Harper (vocals) create lush textures around nostalgic, often humorous lyrics.


    Palm Sunday

     
    Palm Sunday is a genre bending Portland based band spearheaded by songwriter Merle Law. They started this project in Atlanta GA in 2018 where they recorded the lofi debut EP “Wishful Thinking” later released in New Orleans LA. They are currently cooking up their first full length album recorded entirely to tape in Portland, OR. The counter jazz rhythms overlap with ethereal songwriting. That exposed night sky feeling. The effect of being elevated by something familiar. The melodic rhythmic and southern elements carry one another.

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION


    The Takes is a western rock group based out of Portland, Oregon. The group consists of Sumner Rahr (guitar and vocals), Fritz Frerichs (drums), Phoebe Webb (bass), and Guido Rahr (guitar) 
 Taking inspiration from Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The Black Keys, their debut EP High Lonesome journeys through emotion, solace, and escape - all while sticking to their classic rock roots. The Takes' mission is simple: bring back rock... especially to younger generations. 
 An emotional year was channeled into Sumner’s writing and Fritz’ drumming, creating the cohesivity of intricate tracks like “I-84” and “Desert Mind”. The versatile vocals of “Moment” and “Dive” give life to the EP, while the irresistibly catchy “High Lonesome” brings it home. A truly multifaceted work was born – and it’s just the beginning for The Takes. Their newest singles, "River Stones" and "House of Sky" are living proof.

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION

    w/ Shouter & Vista House

    Like Years
    The Debut Album by Like Years, Shines Some Light on the Recent Past with Eleven Songs Balancing Optimism and Realism


    Like Years Is Songwriter John Craig’s Latest Project and Approaches Life's Difficult Moments with Grace, Good Humor and Lively, Upbeat Rhythms


    Vicissitudes, the title of John Craig’s new album, is based on his father’s favorite word. “He used ‘vicissitudes’ to describe life. How you handle the vicissitudes of life will determine how you live, how well you live and what you do with your life. I wouldn't say I handle the vicissitudes of life exceptionally well, but I understand life operates in waves. Like everyone, I try to adapt and cope, even though the lows got lower during the pandemic. This album explores my personal struggles: insomnia, anxiety, existential angst. Writing these songs helped me find joy in life's harder moments.”


    Craig produced and recorded most of Vicissitudes in his home studio, singing and playing most of the instruments himself. The drums and congas were played by Reinhardt Melz at Hallowed Halls in Portland, the studio run by Justin Phelps (Galactic, Cake), who engineered and mixed the record. Craig has always had an eclectic, improvisational approach and pulls out all the stops on the music he composed for this project. “I’d say it’s indie rock, moving toward cinematic synth pop, or maybe existentially angsty music you can dance to. When I’m writing, I imagine sunsets on the beach, or light dancing through the leaves of the trees in a forest.”



    Shouter
    Shouter is a Portland, Oregon-based band formed in 2011, consisting of Charley Austin, Brian Biggs, and Joseph Callahan. Their most recent album "Last of the Love-Ins" came out in 2020, and is available on vinyl or digital download at shouter.bandcamp.com.

    Vista House
    Vista House is the project of Tim Howe and a rotating cast of characters, spanning the width of the country. Equal parts Wilco, Magnolia Electric Company and Pavement, Howe's alt-country dad vibe makes way for moments of powerpop and introspective indie rock, all with a wink and a nod to remind us that nothing has to be that serious. Vista House's music, just as the iconic Columbia River landmark, serves as a marker in the road and a bend in the waterway, a reflection on where you've been and where you're headed. Vista House's first proper LP, Oregon III, came out in February via Anything Bagel tapes. The album chronicles Howe's cross-country journeys, ping-ponging between living in Oregon and rural North Carolina multiple times.

    Brennen Leigh is an American songwriter, guitar player, mandolin player and singer whose to-the-point storytelling style has elevated her to cult icon status in Europe, Scandinavia, across the United States, South America and the United Kingdom. Her songs have been recorded by Lee Ann Womack, Rodney Crowell, Sunny Sweeney, Charley Crockett, and many others. As renowned for her musicianship as for her writing, it’s easy to see how Leigh caught the ear of greats like Guy Clark, who colorfully endorsed her flatpicking: “Brennen Leigh plays guitar like a motherfucker,” and David Olney, who described her writing as “tender, violent, sentimental, foolish and wise, she is always Brennen. Confident and at ease with herself, without being a jerk about it.”

    PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
    w/ Lowland Painter

    Night Heron

    The record is called “Instructions for Night.” And by the end of the first track on Night Heron’s debut, the listener knows who these instructions are for. They’re for those of us awake against our will: tossing in bed after a terrible fight, pacing the hallways of new parenthood, stricken with fear of unemployment or a bad test result. These instructions are for a person (or in the case of 2020, perhaps an entire population), so dislocated by circumstance they no longer make a meaningful distinction between night and day. There is only more or less light.

    But what, exactly, are the instructions? They are whispery, and multiple, and mainly tell us what not to do. “Stop crying / Go back to sleep” they tell us. (Sleeping Boy). They remind us that “martyrdom's been done before” (Dreamz). And lest we be tempted to seek solace in a device: we gaze into “1000 mirrors” but there is only “one reflection.” And then, with soft insistence: “No one is looking at you / No one is looking at you. / No one is looking at you.”

    “Writing about music” Martin Mull observed, “is like dancing about architecture.” And so the writer tends to default to biography or anecdote. Most artists I know feel that biographical trivia cheapens their work. As for Cam Spies, he’d prefer to minimize the fact that Coronavirus affected the way these songs were recorded. And though he’s tentatively okay with my telling you about the personal events that shaped the record--the birth of a child, the unraveling of a relationship, quarantine—he can’t imagine that anyone would care. What does any of it have to do with the music?



    Sun Atoms
    Peter Holmström of The Dandy Warhols and Pete International Airport produced and plays bass in this buzzing Portland, Oregon supergroup fronted by Jsun Atoms (The Upsidedown, Daydream Machine, Pete International Airport) along with other Northwest luminaries June Kang, Mars de Ponte, Los Angeles drummer Eric Rubalcava and Boise transplant Derek Spencer Longoria Gomez.

    Sun Atoms bends and blends song to song through luminary influences Leonard Cohen, The Cure, Moon Duo and Nick Cave in a resulting amalgamation that combines psychedelic, dark wave and post modern-pop.
