Wild Moth

Wild Moth tempers structural technicality with aggression. It also balances melancholic resignation with assertiveness and presence. There are trebly post-punk, shoegaze sheen, and towering post-rock crescendo. But as a testament to the uselessness of all that terminology, it insists that listeners reckon with their sound not as an example of some niche genre, but on Wild Moth's own terms. In that case, their sound is engrossing, where dissonance wrestles with beauty and impassioned dual vocals vie for attention with one of the punchiest, most inventive, and dynamic rhythm sections in town. -SFWeekly

Chasms

Expansive and lonesome, Chasms, deliberately makes listening to the dreampop sadwave band feel epic and quiet all at the same time. Doused with constant shine and shade that float between each other in a well-executed intent to show that sad things can also make smiles. Deconstructed beats with gritty guitars that have been processed and filtered beyond recognition, there is a heightened sense of the melancholy in their sound. It's cold and comforting to a dreamwavy fault. -Impose

Hollow Sunshine

California shoegaze band, led by acclaimed visual artist and multi-instrumentalist Reuben Sawyer (Deafheaven, Chelsea Wolfe, Ascetic House). His work resembles Gustave Doré growing up in a tattoo shop and listening to metal all day. One might think Sawyer's musical endeavor Hollow Sunshine would be as dark as his art, but it's a surprisingly poppy affair. Resembling Jesu if Justin K. Broadrick hired Torche to write songs for him. This is in no small part due to Morgan Enos' vocals, which could make him rich if Jesu tribute bands ever became a thing. Light pokes through the clouds of fuzz for a sublime slice of downer pop. -pitchfork

Cruel Summer

Cruel Summer’s sound evokes the dazed, fuzzed-out, swirling noise of the late 1980s UK sound while still sticking to their pop roots--they’ve aptly been crowned San Francisco’s “jangle darlings.” Following their 2013 release ST/EP on Sacramento’s art/vinyl imprint Mt. St. Mtn., they return with a split-release with SF’s Moonbeams. The four-song 12” release is recorded in the propulsive, crisp style of the Los Angeles Part Time Punks Sessions with Michael Stock. Mastered by Kramer of Galaxie 500 and Low, the Part Time Punks Sessions recordings feature a louder, raucous version of “Leeches”--a cacophonous love song to the soul of San Francisco before the tech boom began to bleed it dry. The moody cover of Pylon’s “Crazy” features the sharp, chorus-y guitars of its original with the hum of Mexican radio hidden under the surface.
