Lone Rider, released last Friday, is, first and foremost, a collection of stories, the work of a writerly musician. From lonely cowboys to desperate murderers, Maxwell fully inhabits rather than uses his characters.

He offers striking sympathy towards their stories, without ever letting any of the stories wilt into sentimentality

Pitchfork: Water From Your Eyes’ Rachel Brown Announces New Thanks for Coming EP, Shares Song
2023-08-10

Water From Your Eyes’ Rachel Brown has announced a new EP under their solo moniker Thanks for Coming. What Is My Capacity to Love? will arrive on September 29 via Danger Collective. Check out the Dylan Gee and Kima Hibbert–directed video for the single “Loop” below.

The eight-song EP was primarily written in the aftermath of a relationship. As such, What Is My Capacity to Love? finds Brown analyzing their romantic relationships. “Loop” is the sole song written before that breakup. “I was in this cycle of infatuation, disappointment, seeking out intimacy but never actually letting anyone in,” explained Brown. “I’d like to think I finally got out of the loop.”

FADER: Watch Computerwife’s dreamlike beach trip
2023-07-31

Over an instrumental comprising hurried drums, a driving bass line, and a lovely progression of jangly guitar chords, Warncke’s disarmingly quiet vocal line describes the sense of tranquility she experienced while taking a much-needed break from online life and visiting a beloved Brooklyn beach.

Brooklyn Vegan: Watch Computerwife’s video for noisy pop anthem “I Get Better Every Day”
2023-07-14

She recently put out the album's lead single "Lexapro," and we're now premiering second single "I Get Better Every Day" and its video. It's a '90s rock anthem through a lo-fi Gen Z lens, and its titular hook is very catchy. Addie says:

“When I made this song, I thought I was gaining control of my life and building self confidence. This is one of the first songs that taught me how to write lyrics. I was reading Annihilation (by Jeff VanderMeer) and wrote down interesting words and then found ways to use those words to express my own thoughts.”

Where “Leading Man” was a stomping, rambunctious number, the sound of someone confidently stepping into the limelight, Maxwell’s new single slips into quietly moving acoustic territory, the musician’s thoughtful songwriting coming to the fore.

Post-Trash: Spiral XP - "Free Thinking" Premiere
2023-02-07

“Free Thinking” is the second single from the upcoming record, a song that opens with classic shoegaze crunch reminiscent of the greats (Swirlies, My Bloody Valentine, Broken Water… take your pick). The feeling as though you’ve stepped outside yourself is immediate, as distortion blooms and bursts over a repetitive structure, easy to digest at surface level but fun to explore the further you dissociate. There’s a hypnotic quality to the song, ringing in cycles with guitars providing the hooks as vocals add textural presence and intrigue, the focus becomes the staccato roar of the band’s shoegaze soaked psychedelic pop.

Corbo was responsible for some of the heaviest moments in his old band’s discography and he continues digging into muddy and abrasive textures on Heaven’s Just A Cloud, Spirit Was’ debut album. Today, he’s introducing it with “I Saw The Wheel,” which takes a two-pronged approach, starting as a gloomy head-nodder and transitioning into some furious noise.

Red Ribbon's 'Planet X' is Bandcamp Daily's Album of the Day
2021-06-18

“…the star here is Danner, who not only approaches her work with creativity and contemplative depth, but experimentation, too. Of particular note is how she uses and stretches her voice, making the songs feel equal parts unsettling and compelling, and showing how moments of intimacy can be found amidst doom.”
