Grand Lake

"With Blood Sea Dream the Oakland quartet ventures into layers upon layers of treated and raw sounds. The dramatic melodies are at times barreling before making eerie dips in scale, alternating between stripped down to multilayered… Standout track is “My Father Is A Forest Full of trees” with its aching melodies that still shift dramatically but remain the most grounded. This is the track that most clearly expresses who the band is and where they’re going." — SF Weekly

"Elegant guitar work kicks around this album with slightly dissonant chords and dynamic vocals, at times paying homage to the band’s rustic folk roots (frontman Caleb Nichols used to play with Port O’Brien), and otherwise crafting curiously ethereal jams. Created within a loving reference to a Bay Area city, Grand Lake’s debut and subsequent work is yet another excellent example of our unique and vibrant local music scene." -The Bay Bridged

"Amid the exhausting iterations of "chillwave," "glo-fi" and the like, Caleb Nichols settled on a term for his new four-piece: "Fuckwave" — as in "fuck it, let's try to just make some good music." It's a popular sentiment in the cerebral East Bay music scene, but Grand Lake stands apart from the crowd with a deliberately pretty 11-song LP. Blood Sea Dream contains influence from Pixies, The Flaming Lips, Xiu Xiu, even lost westerns." -Grand Lake




Ash Reiter

"San Francisco darling and specialist in the simple jazz sound that Leslie Feist has made a career out of. Her standard guitar chords blend to form adorable jazz pop songs. Reiter's set was sugar cane sweet." -Daytrotter

"Behind her vintage, lipstick-red National, she drives familiar yet distinct pop songs in a voice that, if anything, is stronger live than on her recordings. In her smoky blend of retro pop and modernism, sincerity and ironic detachment, her music brought to mind Sondre Lerche at several points. The tuneful nature of her compositions and the balance of wit and honesty in her voice are thoroughly winning." -The Bay Bridged

“Dizzying folk melodies, acoustic-symphonies, and voices tangled into harmonized quilts that lay on your shoulders after you leave.” -SF Station




Sunbeam Rd.

"Sunbeam Rd. aim to be pretty and warped at the same time. This newish S.F. four-piece's entrancingly spaced-out song structures and whiffs of reverb and fuzz mingle with three-part vocals that at times harmonize with startling talkiness and dissonance. But unlike lots of local psych bands, there's a detectable deliberateness to what goes on here -- the noisy parts feel like they truly belong, the minimalist parts really do haunt, and several songs ramble with a charming, jacked-up pop sensibility." -SF Weekly
