Robert Ellis – What’s In It For Me Shovels & Rope – Boxcar Jonny Corndawg – Shut Up To be completely honest, when last nights show was announced a few months ago, and I saw what day the show was on (4/1) I thought it was either a very early April

Desert Stars
Farewell Decade Boys I Like Falling in love with this 7″ from Brooklyn’s Desert Stars, a 5-piece shoe gaze band that is built upon creative and layered instrumentation, reverby atmospheres, and lush harmonies. There’s a pop sensibility to that tracks that keep them more grounded & rooted in
Moonface
I posted about Moonface a few weeks back, but if you aren’t familiar with the project, Moonface, is Spencer Krug (Wolf Parade) and an ongoing series of changing collaborations. He is releasing an album, Heartbreaking Bravery, out April 17th was recorded with Finnish band Siinai. This is our second
