 Midday Veil
"Seattle's Midday Veil brand of mind-expanding psychedelia rarely gets above a snail's pace, allowing you to experience every spiraling guitar run and droning bleat of the band's vintage synthesizers, as well as the fluttering arc of Emily Pothast's space-mother vocals. It's a sound custom designed to coax you down the rabbit hole, leaving you blissfully lost in wonderland." - Willamette Weekly

 Silian Rail
Oakland's Silian Rail: "Landry excavates a wild array of combinations from the fret board, digging into deep reverb-drenched riffs that build from anthemic highs to rhythmic lows. Kuhn plays everything else: drums, synthesizers, guitar and even glockenspiel. It all comes together like a cathartic exercise in ascension, as the riffs build up a swooping tension only to swiftly descend into shimmering, finger-picked melodies.
Silian Rail are the logical offspring of a lineage that began with the 1991 release of Spiderland by Slint, the legendary nearly instrumental group out of Louisville, Ky., who perfected the quiet-loud dynamic later built upon by Mogwai and then Explosions in the Sky (though some might argue that this type of heavy riffing truly had its start with Black Sabbath, or if you want to dig really far back, with early Captain Beyond)." - Metro Santa Cruz

 Barn Owl
"A four-armed shaman clad in stags horn and wolf-skin, this record is an Ur-howl from the ancestral underworld." - Julian Cope

 Eternal Tapestry (Portland)
"The first thing you should know about Eternal Tapestry is that they fucking shred. I usually try not to cuss in reviews, but that is the first thing that came to mind and it is way too true to omit. They have proven this already with a slew of strong releases on Not Not Fun, Digitalis, and Night People, but I firmly believe they are about to blow the doors off of all that was done previously. At a recent show, they dragged out a set of behemoth rock abstractions with a visceral hendrixian swagger all too often missing from current rock shows." - Foxy Digitalis

 Real Estate
Woodsist recording artistes Real Estate: "sleepy rock sound, not as tropical, dense sample heavy as Ducktails, Matt Mondanile being a member of both of course. This is a more live sound, heavy on reverb, two-step drums. Nothing like I expected actually. It's a produced and really clean full band sound...hypnotic and repeating." - 7 Inches

 Lake
"LAKE is a group of cloudy individuals brought together through lines drawn along Interstate-5, intersecting in olympia on or around 2005. Since forming, they have both gained and lost members, recorded 12 full length albums (only 3 of which have seen proper release), played across the world supporting such talented acts as Adrian Orange and Her Band, Half Handed Cloud, Laura Veirs, and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. The sounds they craft are straight from the playbook of the good parts of Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, and Turkish psychedelic music. Caressing the Rhodes piano, endearing drum fills, guitars that dont sound like guitars, and some slamming bass lines: Listening to LAKE is like pouring sugar in your ears. They'll turn your brain into chocolate, 67% cacao." (bio)

 Neal Morgan
Newly minted Drag City recording artiste, Neal Morgan:
"Sober of voice, ecstatic in heart and mind, Neal Morgan has broken through, and coming through the polyphony of voices and blur of arms and legs and sticks and cymbals is the sound of a manifesto. ‘To The Breathing World’ is composed entirely of Neal’s own drumming and singing — it’s a purposeful venture into the world of song from a singing drummer’s perspective behind the traps. It is all Neal, all the time — just the voices from his head and the kit under his hands. This is new music — this particular flavour of drum and voice composition is a sound not previously presented for commercial consumption, but for Neal, it’s been a long time coming. He’s been drumming for twenty years. Over the past few, he’s been widely heard and seen as Joanna Newsom’s barefooted drummer, appearing on her ‘& The Ys Street Band’ EP, as well as on tour dates around the world (and on her forthcoming album)."
