Massage

LA band Massage are set to drop their new album "Coaster" in October.  Dig on "Daffy Duck" below, an absolutely glorious mix of jangle and synth pop that makes me smile.  And pre-order the LP here from Mt. St. Mtn.

The Pennys

Bay Area duo The Pennys is the collaborative project of Mike Ramos (Flowertown, Cindy) and R.E. Seraphin (Talkies).  The band makes fuzzy, lo-fi nuggets of melancholy dreams, a total balm for the aching soul.  Listen to "Say Something" below and pre-order the self-titled album here from Mt. St. Mtn.

Cindy

San Francisco band Cindy are set to release their new album "Why Not Now?" in April.  The group make beautiful, lo-fi, melancholy indie pop that seeps right into your heart and soul.  Check out "A Trumpet on the Hillside" below, pre-order the download here, and get the vinyl here from Mt. St. Mtn.

Flowertown

San Francisco lo-fi troubadours Flowertown have a new album heading our way later this summer.  Check out the lovely duet hiss and fuzz of "Beachwalkers" below and then pre-order the "Half Yesterday" cassette here from Paisley Shirt Records or the 12" here from Mt. St. Mtn.

Cindy

Here's a wonderful little heartbroken ballad from San Francisco outfit Cindy.  "To Be True" plays like something from the saddest jukebox in all the world, a last dance.  Check out the video for the tune below and pre-order the upcoming "1:2" LP here digitally and here on vinyl from Mt. St. Mtn.

Massage

LA's Massage make a cool mix of jangle pop, shoegaze, and college rock that kind of sounds like if the Jesus and Mary Chain had come up in the Midwest instead of Scotland if that makes any sense.  Check out "Half a Feeling" below and pre-order the band's "Still Life" LP here from Mt. St. Mtn., Tear Jerk, and Bobo Integral Records.
