The record label that releases all this stuff.

Super catchy indie pop with backflips and mid-air splits..

Olympia sweetheart-collective.
The band, comprised of Jordan O’Jordan (Jordan Smith),Twig Palace (Colleen Johnson), and Onyx of Olympia (Onyx Dixon), came together in New Zealand through an un-ironic series of events, culminating in a kind of love-in for playground archeologists seeking the truth at the bottom of music itself. Like the best rounds of jump-rope, like poetry syrup, their voices clicked fast, with sugar in the stirrups. Spindleheart with her sprightly soprano, Onyx and her jaunty sass, and Jordan with his tin-pan croon made kindred spirits in the forest of NZ, and were even known to lead processionals of show-goers down to the banks of local rivers for baptisms by harmony.

Solo Project from multi-instrumentalist RFK Heise of System and Station.

Reptar is an American band from Athens, Georgia founded by members Graham Ulicny (guitar, vocals), Ryan Engelberger (bass), William Kennedy (keyboards) and Andrew McFarland (drums).

The godfather of prolific lo-fi pseudo-brit pop. Wikipedia says it best when they say:
"Robert Steven Moore (born January 18, 1952) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. In addition to having numerous albums released on labels around the world, the prolific Moore has self-released over 400 cassette and CD-R albums since 1968, as well as dozens of home videos, mostly through the R. Stevie Moore Cassette Club, a home-based label. His eclectic work incorporates a variety of musical styles, both popular and experimental. From 1978 to November 2010, Moore lived and recorded in his apartment studios in Montclair, New Jersey, and then Bloomfield, New Jersey,[1] before relocating to his native Nashville in December 2010. He is the oldest son of Bob Moore, veteran Nashville A-Team bassist, producer, and orchestra leader, as well as a longtime sideman for Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison and many others."

Oakland-based electro-pop

Harmony drenched fuzz reminiscent of the heyday of the 90s Texas noise pop bands.

Saqqara Mastabas is the freaky weird avant garde prog rock project of Matthew Friedberger (Fiery Furnaces) and Bob D'Amico (Sebadoh)

Fred Thomas (City Center)'s sugary indie-pop project.

My name is Scott Garred. I am a songwriter, performer, and music therapist. I call San Francisco home. I just finished my first official full-length LP called Little Tiny Things, a special project because it reunites a very dear group of friends. Shawn Camp and Tom Hudson (both of Silver Scooter) met up with me at the beautiful Idler Recording operated by Tyler Mallory (also ex-Silver Scooter) who recorded and mixed most of the songs. Dave McNair (Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Los Lobos, Willie Nelson, and of course Silver Scooter) mixed a few songs and mastered all the material. The album sounds amazing and I couldn't be happier.

The songs feature guitars, bass, and drums with a heavy splash of vintage keyboards. Some rock and bounce along while others quietly strum. The songs range in subject matter from the personal to what it might be like to live with Alzheimer’s Disease, as some of my music therapy clients do. A deceptively simple keyboard drumbeat opens the album on the title track, but the songs’ lyrics disintegrate into the profound fears haunting memory loss: “What if you no longer can sing? What if your heart only knows darkness?”

I was in a band called Silver Scooter from 1995 - 2001. We released three critically acclaimed albums, and dozens of singles and E.P.’s. Touring extensively and sharing stages with Death Cab For Cutie, Kristen Hersh, Unwound, and Olivia Tremor Control to name just a few, we frequented the SXSW Music Festival as well as CMJ.

My former solo music project, Super XX Man (pronounced “double x”) released a total of 17 volumes of music plus various E.P.'s and compilations - about 20 releases in all. Most were released largely in obscurity with the exception of Vol. X (2005), a collection of previously released songs re-recorded through the lens of a new band after I moved to Portland, OR. This one release seemed to garner more praise than usual. The Vol. X version of “Collecting Rocks” became a favorite at a half dozen or so weddings. Bob Boilen, host of NPR’s All Songs Considered, said this about Super XX Man: “If we’re going to choose ten songs every week, let it be Super XX Man.” Amy McCoullough, former editor of the Willamette Week in Portland, OR said, “If love had a sound this would be it.”

I toured nearly 10 years of Super XX Man’s existence, traveling through Canada, Japan, and the U.S. Over the years I played some of the nation's more notable clubs including San Francisco's Bottom of the Hill, Make-Out Room, Purple Onion, Hemlock Tavern; Knitting Factory and Brownie's in New York; Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans; Schuba's and Empty Bottle in Chicago; and Spaceland in Los Angeles. I shared bills with Courtney Barnett, John Vanderslice, Songs Ohia, Julie Doiron, and Karl Blau.

A career highlight of mine was performing at Bob Boilen’s Tiny Desk. Another career highlight includes singing a duet with Julie Doiron at SXSW. We shared the bill and spontaneously collaborated on the Eric’s Trip song, “Allergic to Love.”

Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Oregon Art Beat featured both my music and my work as a music therapist at the Oregon State Hospital. The award-winning program followed me to the hospital, filming intimate sessions with patients, and tagged along to hear Super XX Man rehearse and perform at the historic White Eagle Pub.

Super XX Man also recorded two full-length albums in Australia while living in Melbourne from 2011 - 2015. Vol. XIV Sorta Heavy Metal was released on Courtney Barnett’s acclaimed Milk! Records in 2012. A successful crowd funding campaign, which brought together fans from all over the world, made this release possible. The album garnered much praise. Crispian Winsor, former morning host of “The Breakfast Spread” on PBS radio in Melbourne, called it the #1 release of the 2012 year. The second Australian album, Vol. XVI Talk About, was released quietly in 2015 via Bandcamp after Garred moved back to the states. It features country sweetheart Devon Sproule singing harmonies and a duet on the stand out track “Sparrow.” A bonus included on the digital release features Courtney Barnett and Jen Cloher covering “Box Store,” originally released on Vol. XIII White Bed.

In 2008, acquaintances Greg Olin (Graves) and and LAKE drummer Lindsay Schief (who had played together on Karl Blau's "Nature's Got Away") ran into each other at a rock concert in Portland, OR. It was winter time. They began hanging out, roasting meats, drinking beer, and playing on each others' songs in Greg's cozy Southeast apartment. Friends dropped in and out, playing organ riffs here and sax solos there. After a while, G & L started co-writing songs about chores and cozy home life. They lived together in Greg's new house for a few seasons in 2010 where they wrote their last few songs, wrapping the project up with one about Lindsay moving on to her own digs.

Sonny & the Sunsets are a beautiful west coast thing. Birthed from the sand, the surf, and twilight campfires down in Ocean Beach, Sonny & the Sunsets’ busted beach-pop songs spark recollections of doo wop's otherworldly despair, a dose of goofball humor from the Michael Hurley school, and positive possibilities exuded by Jonathan Richman.

Blue Collar indie-chamber-pop from Portland, OR.

Spaceface is a psychedelic rock/pop band from Memphis TN. Using creative soundscapes, groovy rhythms, and catchy vocal melodies, Spaceface has taken vintage psychedelic rock and blended it with pop and surf influences to form a truly unique sound. With their high energy and quality stage presentation, Spaceface puts on a show that will leave you dazed and wanting more.

80% of the band Spaceface. Strong Martian does it's thing when Jake Ingalls is on tour with The Flaming Lips. And they do it very well.

LA/Joshua Tree based Sugar Candy Mountain deliver carefully built psychedelic odes in the
style of Jacco Gardner and Tame Impala. Their newest album 666 feels like something
unearthed from a box of records found in your dad’s garage, glowing wistfully with vintage
inspired tones, rambling organs, fuzzed out guitars, shimmering keys and sprawling drums. Ash
Reiter’s woolly voice croons with the icy warmth of Francoise Hardy, while Will Halsey’s tender
Lennon-esque vocals uncoil with easy languor. Recorded with Jason Quever of Papercuts, the
bands sophomore album sits comfortably between 60’s Laurel Canyon bliss and more modern
production of Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips/Tame Impala).

Hailing from West Palm Beach, Florida, Surfer Blood exploded onto the indie scene with debut album ‘Astro Coast.’ Self-recorded in essentially a dorm room, the album ended up garnering acclaim from nearly every vital music site and putting the band on the same stage as bands like the Pixies. With tons of touring that took the band around the world and back again, Surfer Blood followed up their debut with the ’Tarot Classics’ EP, which landed them a spot on Jimmy Fallon.

In 2013, Surfer Blood released ‘Pythons,’ a co-release with Warner Bros. Produced by the legendary Gil Norton, it contains the same dreamy surf rock sensibility of the band’s debut, it sees them buffing their pop gems into dynamic songs.

The Coke Dares are Pete Schreiner, Jason Groth, and Mark Rice from Magnolia Electric Company playing one minute punk classics.
