Johnny Jewel
Digital Rain 5:19
The Runner 1:42
Seven Corners 2:02
from Digital Rain 2018
Appearing less than a year after the release of Johnny Jewel's solo debut Windswept, Digital Rain is an even more independent effort. Where Windswept included tracks Jewel recorded with bands like Symmetry as well as on his own, each track here is a solo composition -- and feels like it was recorded in solitude. After establishing himself in the arid city of Los Angeles, Jewel began to miss the rain and snow of places where he used to live, and challenged himself to create a wordless, beatless evocation of watery weather in its many forms...

Psych-folk group led by Meg Baird and featuring members of Comets on Fire and Six Organs of Admittance. 
Heron Oblivion
Beneath Fields 7:45
Sudden Lament 3:32
from The Chapel 2017
San Franciscan psych-folk group Heron Oblivion followed their excellent 2016 full-length debut with this live recording, captured in the band's home town in early 2017. Six of the album's seven songs are performed here, and while these takes aren't grand departures from the studio versions, they demonstrate the acute focus of the group's vision. Featuring drummer/vocalist Meg Baird, guitarists Noel von Harmonson and Charlie Saufley, and bassist Ethan Miller, the band alternate between fragile, dreamy folk and heavy psych-rock, often featuring delicate vocals and crushing dual guitar solos in the same song...

Experimental bedroom pop musician from Melbourne, Australia known for her unconventional arrangements and distorted vocals. 
Katie Dey
All 1:30
So You Pick Yourself Up 2:21
Only a Trip and Fall Down Again
from Flood Network 2016
Australian singer/songwriter Katie Dey's singular brand of fragmentary home-recorded pop is fragile, strange, and sometimes frightening. Taking full advantage of the recording and editing capabilities of her laptop, she vibrantly strums her scratchy-sounding guitar and programs nervous, glitchy beats. Nothing is ever straightforward with her music; it constantly feels like it's mutating and being pulled apart against its will. Most jarring of all is her voice, which she distorts into an unsettling digital croak. Similar to tUnE-yArDs, Dey's vocals are not for everyone, and may be a dealbreaker for many listeners. In the context of her music, however, they make total sense, and it's hard to imagine hearing pristine, angelic vocals over such broken, mutilated arrangements...
