Happy birthday to Paul Slavens!

Immersive Atlanta nails the love lying beneath Sloan Brothers' new LP and premieres Dream Tent's new remix

PREMIERE

"Sloan Simpson may not covet the spotlight, but he sure knows how to share it."

Wow, Immersive Atlanta nails the love lying beneath the surface throughout the entire Sloan Brothers project, including this remix by Gene Woolfolk III (aka Dream Tent) of the title track "System Update," premiering now!

"The result is a pulsing effort that recontextualizes the song as a sprawling dance-inflected freakout. Here, Woolfolk takes Simpson’s lurching desert rock stomp and reveals the disco heart pumping within."

VIDEO PREMIERE

Thanks to Adobe and Teardrops for spotlighting Caitlin Cobb-Vialet's "Disco Ball" video!

"Cobb-Vialet’s theatrical training shows...While the song sports the bold melodies of a Broadway number, Cobb-Vialet twists the form into a clever, complex pop composition."

About Caitlin's debut album 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘥, out now:

"Expertly crafted pop-leaning narratives that echo the tuneful and complex arrangements of artists such as Sia and Regina Spektor, while leaning hard into a deep personal lyrical style."

Independent Clauses premieres CLIFFWALKER's "Punching Clocks," which "delightfully teeters on the edge of chaos"

TRACK PREMIERE

When I saw that Stephen at Independent Clauses was posting regularly again, I had to send him this track from the instrumental Portland-based bass & vibes duo of Cliff Hayes (Buellton, CARCRASHLANDER) and A. Walker Spring (Old Time Relijun).

Together, they are CLIFFWALKER.

As Stephen states, "The interplay of the leads produces the experience of a spy-movie chase scene. The piece delightfully teeters on the edge of chaos, if only because it’s rare to hear this sort of combo go at it."

Loving this. Check it out! The debut EP Painted Gray Sky is out on June 24.

Caitlin Cobb-Vialet's "riveting, unconventional" voice shines on "Disco Ball," which premieres today on MAGNET

VIDEO PREMIERE

Thanks to MAGNET Magazine for this wonderful piece on Caitlin Cobb-Vialet this morning, accompanied by the long-awaited premiere of the video for her epic tune "Disco Ball" which, despite any grains of salt one may take from my constant effusive praise, is actually better than I say!

And now you SEE the song. It's a VIDEO. Go over there NOW.

Hobart Rowland says, "With a voice that’s as malleable and conversational as it is riveting and unconventional, the 25-year-old singer/songwriter has invited comparisons to Regina Spektor and Fiona Apple with 𝘌𝘯𝘥𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘝𝘰𝘪𝘥 (War Chant), a surprisingly poised, brutally honest debut that blows by in just 26 minutes."

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution previews Sloan Brothers' LP

FEATURE

"That spirit of adventure is evident throughout the album, and is one of its finest qualities."

Many thanks to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution for chatting with Sloan Simpson about the debut Sloan Brothers album!

𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘜𝘱𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘦 is available everywhere digitally next Friday, May 13 via Science Project Records and what better day than today to pre-order the vinyl which arrives on Friday, July 1.

What I'm trying to say is, "Did You Know It's Bandcamp Friday?"

Sloan and Robert Schneider from The Apples in stereo sing this little ditty of an unauthorized theme song to remind you! Today, it’s available on all streaming platforms, because we thought it'd be fun to unwittingly ensnare the big(ger) daddy streamers to do our dirty work!

To summarize: Read the article, hear the tune, buy the record!
