Rykarda Parasol
"Goth Americana bardess Rykarda Parasol has a perfect flair for drama. Her voice is husky and imperfect, reminiscent of Nico's, but perfect just because of its ability to captivate. Parasol bites off snarls and screams, weaving each note with vividly dark images, some that you could foresee, because her tales of woe and bad deeds are as old as time itself." - The Owl Mag

Chambers
Ranging all the way from trashy math-rock to dreamy ambient pop and retro-futuristic disco, while keeping a heavy rhythmic and melodic core. With members of The Holy Kiss, Death of a Party, Red Voice Choir and The Parties.

Airfix Kits
new band from Allan of Giant Haystacks.

Tropical Sleep
"Tropical Sleep is a new project from Dan from the Pets. The Pets have been around for a while, had one of the best LPs from last year and a whole bunch of good singles, so I guess Tropical Sleep has kind of a lot to live up to but if the couple of tracks up on myspace are any indication, it shouldn’t be a problem. The music basically picks up where the Pets left off, doing upbeatenergetic powerpop with good meaty production that is mostly clean but leaves a little dirt in there. Great stuff." - Overnight Sensation

Ingot Rot
new band from members of The Mantles and Colossal Yes.

Nick Castro & the Young Elders

Raul Rauelsson
"In 'La Siembra, la Espera y la Cosecha', Rauelsson expands his inviting sense of melody and arrangement yet the organic construct of its songs remains based on his willingness to work with a simple, though evocative, palette of acoustic ingredients. Produced by Portland's finest Adam Selzer (M.Ward, The Decemberists, Mirah, Laura Gibson, Loch Lomond, etc.) and co-produced by Dave Depper and Raúl, the album presents a noble collection of eleven songs which grandeur resides primarily on their well captured subtle sensibility. With emotive, dynamic transitions between austere to rich, sombre to bright territories."

emcee Bart Davenport
