Jay III

Jay III follows Jay Arner on a solitary journey as he leaves behind the real world for another planet littered with synthesizers and vocoders. Recorded entirely on his own while his wife Jessica was out of town Jay says he "devolved and went feral: staying inside, subsisting on rice and beans, muttering into a vocoder." The album leaves behind the retro tinged synth pop of his 2016 album, Jay II, for an expansive and meditative ambient electronic soundscape. It's the perfect album for your next trip to the spa or outer space. Available on Cassette only!

Awe

With their massive sonics and anthemic pop songwriting, Woolworm is an arena rock band that just so happens to perform in DIY venues. Their music, which somehow seamlessly combines shoegaze, Britpop, post-punk, hardcore and black-metal into an impossibly cohesive sound, is the sum of their parts. Heather Black pounds her bass like she’s ripping a basement punk set before delivering sweet vocal harmonies straight out of the C86 compilation. Nick Tolliday pummels his drums with the reckless abandon of the hardcore scene that birthed the band.
