Lee Bains + The Glory Fires “Old-Time Folks”

Lee Bains + The Glory Fires just released their new album “Old-Time Folks” on August 5th on Don Giovanni Records, their fourth full length album!
From Don Giovanni Records:
“Since releasing their first album There Is a Bomb in Gilead in 2012, the road-worn Birmingham, Alabama band – singer and guitarist Lee Bains, bassist Adam Williamson, and drummer Blake Williamson – has built a reputation as being what NPR calls “punks revved up by the hot-damn hallelujah of Southern rock” who carry on “the Friday-night custom of burning down the house,” a raw live sound that they captured with Texas punk producer Tim Kerr on studio albums Dereconstructed (2014) and Youth Detention (2017) before recording a full-on live album at their favorite hometown dive, Live at the Nick (2019).”

New ACID DAD t-shirts on Greenway Records!

“Paterson II” Alex Heigl’s newest album is out now (8/5)!

In Alex’s words:

I was gonna make this a “concept album” about Paterson the Town but I abandoned that idea because this was made largely in lockdown and I was very sad and tired all the time.

That said, if you’re a nerd like me, this is the Library of Congress Folklife project that I was gonna steal everything from. (The Jarmusch movie’s not bad either.)

Opentab / Fire Talk with the launch of @harrisonpatricksmith of The Dare new single “Girls”, premiered by Paper. Filmed by @poweredbywind 
From Paper: “Jake Lazovick (Powered by Wind) shot the video at Home Sweet Home, where I DJ weekly, in order to capture a real downtown NYC party,” The Dare says of the music video. “We invited all of our friends and told them to go crazy while I DJ’d and ran around. A lot of the people in it are fellow musicians or collaborators, and some of them are girls.”

WOMBO – FAIRY RUST LP out now (7/29) on Fire Talk Records! Vinyl, CD, Hoodies and Tattoo Pack available now.
Recorded by Nick Roeder
Mixed by Dave Vettraino
Mastered by Jonathan Schenke

From Wombo’s Bandcamp bio:
“‘Fairy Rust,’ the new album from Wombo (Sydney Chadwick, Cameron Lowe, Joel Taylor), contemplates the spaces in-between, a meeting of the physicality of the land with the fluidity of the imagination, to uncanny effect. Across twelve tracks, sharpened guitar work, distorted freakouts and downtempo musings see the trio make a sonic leap forward into new and transformative places. Conceived over the course of the last two years, the record is steeped in its own time warp of escapism, and influenced by fairytales like the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Anderson (“RVG” is short for “Rip Van Winkle”) that blend surreal situations with the mundane. ‘Fairy Rust’ plays on this preoccupation with fantasy (“especially in a time where people are seeming to gravitate towards these kinds of stories”), and the resulting record sounds like no one else.”


B3CCA “ALL GOOD THINGS” IS OUT NOW (released 7/29)!

As B3CCA wrote in their ig post:
“@b3ccaofficial Today is the most beautiful day because my labor of love, All Good Things, my debut EP as b3cca, is now alive in the world. Link in my bio to stream across platforms 💫 Fellow artists will know that this can feel bitter sweet. Years of work finally out there, and then what comes after, total normalcy. Someone called me last night and reminded me, “this isn’t the end of something, it’s the beginning of everything.” I take that to heart, because these songs represent facets of my truest self, each story deeply personal, yet expressed with the hope of reaching a universal camaraderie of feeling.

These songs wouldn’t exist without the steadfast support and innumerable hours of work of my producer @arimorrismusic and his team. My deepest thank you to @kelleyham for their song animations, which are now live on @spotify for each track. The artwork itself wouldn’t exist without the ever brilliant photography of @brooklynelitist. I am so grateful for this team, and for all my friends and supporters who have been rooting for me over these last two years, as I have re-found my creative voice and now venture again into the great unknown.”
