For Music Lovers
Pensive, experimental rock & roll with hints of R&B and 80′s guitar pop, reminiscent of fellow Arizona-bred musicians like iji and Stephen Steinbrink, but uniquely offbeat and exciting. For Music Lovers explores themes of spirituality in the mundane, race and class in society, and observation of one’s surroundings.

Dogbreth
Believe This Rain
Intimate, open-hearted rock ‘n’ roll from these southwest legends. On Believe This Rain the band continues to take influence from guitar-driven power pop and mid-80’s jangle rock, while embracing elements of experimentation drawn in part from singer Tristan Jemsek’s recent time playing guitar with drone metal pioneers EARTH, as well as the deep, weird, and sun-bleached world of Southern Arizona that Dogbreth calls home.

Fuss
We’re Not Alone LP
With an earnest and direct melodicism inspired by J-pop, disco, and 80s British punk, Fuss drop tiny anthems of life after your 20s: trying to keep cool when you feel terrible, working, and continuing to seek out community. Honest and vulnerable, this album captures the immediacy and uncertainty of the millennial experience: an openhearted yearning felt all the more intensely as the world falls apart around us. Produced and recorded by Jeff Rosenstock on 8-track reel to reel tape in streetwear company Undefeated’s LA warehouse.
