Sunhaze
Sunhaze embodies the diverse landscape of their Californian roots. Surf-pop guitars and atmospheric synth amidst melancholic melodies create an aural environment influenced by coastlines and city streets. Their debut album Wishful Thinking was released on October 7th, 2016.
The Riot Professor
The Riot Professor is a Bay Area indie rock band that likes to improvise. According to the East Bay Express, their self titled album contains “the chaotic sound of instruments tuning and breaks into a stripped-down acoustic-guitar melody reminiscent of Neutral Milk Hotel. The album continues to get interesting, with off-kilter keyboards, trombone and woodwinds, and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young-esque harmonies that echo and bend around distorted, psychedelic arrangements.” They released two EPs earlier this year, pushing their sound into dark caves and flowing oceans, always keeping a hand on a guitar. You might hear The Beatles, Tame Impala, Pink Floyd, or Sufjan Stevens.
North By North
Chicago garage duo North by North's surf-inspired rock & roll conjures images of catching waves off the Hawaiian coast all day before chasing the sun and sand with a swanky cabaret-club nightcap. They start from a foundation that channels bands like The Black Keys & The White Stripes, but quickly set themselves apart by adding adventurous, esoteric instrumentation—from cello and trumpet to tack piano. [They have an] uncanny ability to blend blues, surf and cabaret into a heady rock & roll stew.
Mammoth Life
Mammoth Life is a female fronted, dream-pop quartet from San Francisco. Soaked in reverb with coursing organ and electric guitar, this band falls somewhere between Weezer's Blue and current releases by Tennis and Beach House. ML's debut LP will be out July 31st via Satisfying Records.
