The Austin Chronicle is listening to Jenny Parrott's "Pregnancy Choir," which reveals "a beautiful glimpse into motherhood"

FEATURE

"An all-vocal album... Pregnancy Choir digs in – clawing back layers to reveal a beautiful glimpse into motherhood. Joyful, somber, chaotic, and dissonant all at once… an internal chorus grapples with the realities of pregnancy, from the thrill of life to the policing of women's bodies."

Lovely words today from the Austin Chronicle about Jenny Parrott!

York Calling shares "Sweet Things" by I Was A King, highlighting the "haunting" chords and "perfect" harmonies

TRACK FEATURE

Hello! More love today for the lovely "Sweet Things" by I Was A King.

York Calling says the tune reminds of "the sort of folk-rock music that became popular in the 60s and 70s."

Remember the old Elektra Records logo with the butterfly from that era? That's my jam. I am personally reminded of that by this song.

Listen. It's a beauty.

Impose reviews Ivory Fields' gift of a debut LP, which is "pure unusual musical candy."

ALBUM REVIEW

"Ivory Fields, made up of musicians Ale Cohen and Mahadev, gift a universe into the listener’s inviting ears at the perfect time. Powered by synth-driven glory, it is pure unusual musical candy.

"One feels comfortably out of place with their sound, but relishes the change of pace. With the release of their debut self-titled album, these musicians are ready to grab a hold of the wave."

Thanks to Myles Hunt at Impose for the kind words!

VIDEO PREMIERE

New Pacifico single coming this Friday!

Check out the John K. D. Graham-directed video for "Afterglow" now over at Big Takeover! Click for your life.

Graham explains, “It’s a bit of motion collage that makes use of cut paper and video footage. I am a fan of Terry Gilliam, and his style was what I wanted to attempt.”

According to the band’s Matthew Schwartz, "The song is about someone losing their sight later in life, coming to terms with that change, and realizing that they have everything they need.

"We were lucky to have Peter Randall — bassist with The Kooks, Seal, and Adele — join us on this one.”
