<h3><a href="https://shadowgraphsnc.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SHADOWGRAPHS</a></h3>Shadowgraphs is the new self-titled album from the Portland, Oregon based band of the same name. Representing a turning point for the band, the album was created in the spirit of true collaboration. Written and recorded in the shadow of the global pandemic and the social justice movements that sprung up in its wake, the album finds the band grappling with the changing world and their place in it. The story begins not long after the world shut down for the first time, when the band headed down to Bay City, OR and began tracking in an old beach house on the windswept coast. The isolation worked to the band’s advantage, and they were able to tap into a sound that stands on its own compared to their past records and amongst their peers in the modern indie music scene. Just like the old days, a couple of the stand-out tunes were conceptualized during a 3am writing session, quickly recorded and arranged within 24 hours.Returning to Portland with the basic tracks, the band headed to their studio to finish overdubs and begin the mixing process. It was during this part of the journey that guitarists Wils Glade and Brian Olson started getting deep into audio electronics and decided to build a 1960’s Op Amp Labs console from scratch. The band ended up mixing the record through the console, which lent a unique vibe to the album that quite literally bears their fingerprints. “We actually ended up mixing the whole record through the console live, so not only did it feel rewarding mixing our own stuff for the first time, but we felt like we really got to literally touch every frequency on the record by assembling capacitors, resistors, etc” says Glade.Equally inspired by classic psychedelic pop and modern indie rock, the new album finds the band branching out and incorporating shoegaze, post-punk, and dream pop influences into their sound. The resulting album calls to mind the effervescent melodies of labelmates Sugar Candy Mountain, the ghostly atmosphere of Papercuts, and the baroque arrangements of Chris Cohen. Royal Oakie Records is excited to release the album on June 17th, 2022.

<h3><a href="https://www.fortyfeettall.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">FORTY FEET TALL </a></h3>In 2011, a group of 15 year old high schoolers from LA, raised on healthy doses of 90’s-era post-punk and grunge, with just enough old-school classic rock thrown in, came together to develop their own sound and started writing and playing original songs nearly from day one. The kids, now called Forty Feet Tall, began playing around Los Angeles in classic venues like The Troubadour, Roxy and the Whiskey. Throughout their last couple of high school years, Forty Feet Tall built themselves a loyal base of local fans by playing parties and shows throughout LA. College brought them to Portland, OR, where they continued to play locally while focusing on finishing up school. With the addition of bass player Brett Marquette in 2017, and new drummer Ian Kelly, childhood friends Cole Gann (lead singer/guitar) and Jack Sehres (guitar) had completed the circle of Forty Feet Tall with a band to be reckoned with, kicking out some of the best rock songs you’ll hear today. In 2014, the band released a self-titled full length album while still in college and followed it recently with an EP called “Red Dressed.” A number of their songs have been licensed and featured on shows like Showtime’s Shameless, the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle, “Killing Gunther,” the Paramount film “Drunk Wedding” and several MTV spots. Forty Feet Tall’s sound is hard and riff-based, aggressive and expansive, somewhere between The Strokes and Queens of the Stone Age, yet framing some of the most well-crafted and sincere rock songs you’ve heard in years. Their newest material seems fitting for the tumultuous political landscape, with a more assailing post-punk intensity. These are the kinds of songs you hear for the first time and can’t help but wonder if they’ve always been there, like a song you can’t decide if you already know or if you just need to keep listening to it over and over again. And you will need to keep listening to them over and over again, because the songs (and the band) are just that good. With a new album of songs already recorded and ready to go, Forty Feet Tall is moving forward at a rapid-fire pace as one of the most exciting new bands in rock music today. Their live shows are an explosive display of aggressive intensity, grounded by the songs that are the reason people keep coming back to see them again and again, and why they’re bringing new fans with them each time. Keep your eyes out and don’t blink for too long or you’ll miss the next move from this fiery young band. <h3><a href="https://tvstar.bandcamp.com/album/waste-b-w-this-time" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">TV STAR</a></h3>Seattle alt rock for the true heads.
