STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
MXDWN is positively effusive in its new review of The High Water Marks’ 𝘌𝘤𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘙𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘴, now available from Minty Fresh. The album, MXDWN writes, “is exactly what it sounds like–pure ecstasy for an indie rock lover.” It’s “the record that will get people through the rest of this grueling year.”
AllMusic just awarded four stars to Ecstasy Rhymes, the newest LP from The High Water Marks, calling it “a stripped down and almost punky take on the Elephant 6 sound that Hilarie Sidney helped invent."
It’s “the band’s best album to date… not only a blast from the past but it also sounds completely fresh while showing just how powerfully enjoyable simple indie pop can be when played with this much energy and joy.”
"There are a couple of songs that should be considered indie pop classics... near-perfect combinations of Beatles-y hooks, Byrds-ian guitar jangle, and the innocent excitement of C-86 bands." AllMusic with its rave review of the Square reissue aka Square Cubed by The Orange Peels, out now on Minty Fresh.
Beautiful words in today from Folk Radio about Cabane's Grande Est La Maison: "Thomas Jean Henri has created one of this years most beautiful pieces of work. This is music of uncommon grace and nuance. Never maudlin or overwrought with emotion, it is a gentle elixir."
Praise for the upcoming album by The Late Innings and main-man Vincent Sinex from the venerable Babysue zine. "Wild Places spins like a best of collection. Sinex is influenced by 1980s bands like XTC, Magazine, and Echo and the Bunnymen, but his own music is much more accessible. This talented fellow uses ideas and sounds from his favorite bands as a diving board to create his own upbeat feelgood musical universe. The more we spin this one the more absorbing it becomes."
Ghettoblaster Magazine raves: “Hanging off the fringes of no particular genre it seems, is J Hacha De Zola. The NY/NJ resident just released his fourth album Icaro Nouveau (Caballo Negro) which falls so far out of the box, for good or bad, there’s no one around left to hit him with any sort of healthy competition.” Read the entire review here.
