Description
Psychic Handbook - http://www.myspace.com/psychichandbook"…Fuck Buttons-on-cough-syrup…" -Pitchfork
"[Psychic Handbook] creates sparkling soundscapes that build slowly, drawing the listener under their hypnotic power, and often go for ages - at least in the pop music world - forming nine-minute epics." -San Francisco Chronicle
...
"This jams war-like build-up into a swirling stomp feels wrapped in certain desolations, maybe the soft belligerence of an insulted child who’s anger boils up he suddenly and viciously assaults his tormentors with tears streaming from his eyes. ." -Don't Die Wandering
Electric Sunset - http://www.myspace.com/electricsunsetforever
"Between “Soda” and the four songs on his Muxtape page, this is some of the catchiest, most affecting synth pop I’ve heard this year." -The Bay Bridged
"Sometimes things just click. Magic happens. Boom. Awesome. Made my friggin day kind of awesome2thmaxness. Electric Sunset‘s debut S/T album dropped this kind of bomb on me. Melted synth poppish rock all bleached out from the sun then buried in the dirt of Washington state." - Pasta Primavera
"A week ago we mentioned that K Records band Desolation Wilderness has broken up, and that frontman Nic Zwart is now going solo under the name Electric Sunset, with a debut album due in September. Now we've got some music from the new project. "Soda" has some of the gauzy atmospherics that his former band traded in, but with every part played by Zwart, including his soaring vocals over top." -Pitchfork
Last Eyes - http://www.myspace.com/lasteyes
"Valerie Franz, as sole member of Last Eyes, shook the stony basement foundation from only a kneeling position. Crouched on the floor, head concealed in a pale scarf, Franz dragged a series of voluptuous creaks and groans from her guitar and pedals. Her voice — smoky, sincere, and somewhat otherwordly — seemed to be coaxing a colossal machine to life. " -The Denver Post
Via - http://www.myspace.com/vviiaa
"As one-woman sound project Via, south Texas transplant Daralee Fallin creates dark and lush orchestrations through the simplicity of a drum machine and a sampler. Each live performance is unique, as Fallin commands her voice in a range of tones and melodies that continually evolve." -Onion A.V Club
"Holy shit. To use some lame music journalistic metaphor, Via sounds like Kate Bush running through an Ursula K. Le Guin novel. Now that I've seen her numerous times, I have become very particular about my surroundings. If other people are talking while Via is casting her spells, I shush them. Her ghostly Joy Division on an airport landing strip sound is fucking powerful, and I can't get enough of it." -Bree Davies
"We're talking a Coast to Coast AM, paranormal-meets-spiritual kind of musical reality relinquishment that happens when Kate Bush is channeled through a looping pedal." -Denver Westword
