ALEX G
"Philadelphia-based Alexander Giannascoli, the 21-year-old lo-fi pop upstart known as Alex G, has amassed a treasure trove of music on Bandcamp in recent years. Next month he’ll release DSU, his first full-length for the Brooklyn record label Orchid Tapes and his first on vinyl. “Harvey,” one of many fine selections from the project, matches a steady, shambolic strum with sighing harmonies and a charmingly amateurish vocal that takes me back to the early days of Built To Spill." --Stereogum
ELVIS DEPRESSEDLY
For the better part of the last five years, South Carolina's Mat Cothran has plied his trade under the name Coma Cinema. Over four albums under that Joy Division-referencing moniker, Cothran has explored the limits of moody, downtrodden songwriting. These are tracks that mine the darker parts of his upbringing and his menial day-to-day to reveal sublime transmutations of singer-songwriter tropes.
But the beauty of Cothran's work is that it isn't entirely centered on darkness and futility. For Cothran, it's just as important to be able to laugh into the void. That much is evident even in the name of his onetime side project, Elvis Depressedly. Though his work under the Depressedly banner is largely simpler and shorter than his album-length statements as Coma Cinema, these full-band efforts have illustrated the full breadth and depth of his songwriting repertoire. With Delaney Mills and new bassist Michael Roberts, Cothran is in the process of crafting his first proper full length under the Elvis Depressedly name, called New Alhambra.
Never Young
"If you like your pop dissonant, careening, and bathed in distortion, with choruses shouted and graininess in full bleed, you’ll want to check out Never Young. The Oakland band’s recently released album, Master Copy, is eighteen minutes of short, punchy, punkish anthems, brimming with youthful exuberance, catchy melodies, and a healthy admiration for the 1990s." -East Bay Express
