IN A MINUTE:

A_NEW_MUSICAL_EXPRESSS…

“TIL I FEEL NO PAIN” is the lead single/track from @lovers.guilt’s forthcoming EP titled ‘Enveloped In Smoke’ (6/21) & it finds Brian Vega’s LA-based project dreamily popping across 4 mins of synthetically ethereal & dark_waving GothPop.

“OYSTER CUTS” is the second single/title-track from @quiversss’ forthcoming LP (8/9 @mergerecords) & it finds the Melbourne-based quartet of Bella Quinlan (vox/bass), Sam Nicholson (vox/guitar/keys), Michael Panton (vox/guitar) & Holly Thomas (drums/vox) bringing a 4:20 clip of indie_popped goodness.

“BREATHE” is the latest single from @rinseband’s forthcoming EP titled ‘Starfish’ (6/20 @cohort.records) & it finds Joe Agius’ Melbourne-based project precously new_waving across 4 ½ mins of aesthetically dialed, deliciously dreamy & earnestly soared SoftPop.

@sanguisugabogg are here w/ a brand new standalone single, the aptly titled “PERMANENTLY FUCKED” (@centurymediarecords) & it finds the Ohio-based quartet of Cody Davisdon, Devin Swank, Ced Davis & Drew Arnold laying waste to our sorry asses across a blitzed 4:41 clip of brutally BPM’d DeathMetal.

“IF WE DIDN’T CRY” is the lead track from @smushcore’s forthcoming debut LP titled ‘if you were here i’d be home now’ (6/15 @candlepin_records) & it finds the “sensitive” ཐི♡ཋྀ Vancouver-based trio of Emily Borrowman (bass/vox), Atley King (guitar) & Jay Christie (drums) soft_grunging across 4+ mins of quietly/loud AltRawk.

“SILO” is the lead track on @vile_form’s recently released EP titled ‘Unending’ & it finds the Pennsylvania-based quartet of Paul J Herzog (vocals/bass), Jason M Herrmann (guitar), Jeffrey V Daniels (guitar) & Josh R Orlando (drums) setting the tone across 4+ mins of metallicized DeathFusion.

Original press release for the 1994 Magnetic Fields album The Charm of the Highway Strip, issued by U.S. label Merge Records.

This is the first of a week’s worth of press releases, press kits and other promotional paper materials that I’ll be posting to the blog. And this one was inspired, sadly, by the recent death of original Magnetic Fields vocalist Susan Anyway.

However, this was the first album the band released without Anway, as songwriter Stephin Merritt took over vocal duties. And it was their first for Merge, after two earlier albums for small indies that I generally think of as one unit, since those first two only became widely available as a combined release on a single CD.

The text of this release doesn’t even fill a half sheet of paper. But that’s just fine, as the music more than speaks for itself. I had a promo cassette of this album that practically lived in my 1987 Honda Accord hatchback, which I did indeed occasionally drive along long Vermont roads that spring and summer I was living in Boston.

Day #3709 Mike Krol - Songs About Being Nostalgic For the Suburbs A late happy birthday to fellow shirt connoisseur, musician, and buddy. He makes great music, great merch. What I like best about Mike is you always know what you get, he is just a very true to himself human. You always get a real no facade Mike. It’s refreshing. Well happy birthday duder! #mikekrol #mergerecords #powerchords #tshirtwars https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbAhcujRS3/?igshid=2vxrgu3krfla
