Wild Moth - http://wildmoth.bandcamp.com
'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
Hollow Sunshine - roboticempire.bandcamp.com/album/hollow-sunshine-held-above
"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
