Northwest Music Scene premieres Nick Drummond single “Love”
NorthWest Music Scene premieres “Love,” the first single from Nick Drummond‘s forthcoming debut solo album Follow the Rivulets!
“Love” is a moment of beautiful self-reflection. Following the departure of his longtime lover, Follow the Rivulets promises to be an intensely personal and self-redeeming album. Though there is a lot of heartache throughout “Love” and many other tracks on the LP, it isn’t just a woe-is-me record for the sadsacks of the world. “Love” features bouncy, sturdy, somewhat poppy instrumentation, and over it, Drummond brings an enthused and charismatic performance.
Bloodbuzzed features Phosphene
Thanks to Bloodbuzzed for featuring Phosphene!
Combining dreampop, indie-rock and shoegaze, always presided by Rachel’s killing vocals, Phosphene’s songs turn on the lights in the darkest corners, evoking ethereal sonic landscapes while tightening them up with the brooding drum patterns and driving guitars. A slow but unstoppable burst. A quiet but assured arrival to the heirs of the glimmering world. A festival, a parade of music.

Speak Into My Good Eye reviews John Dillon album
Seattle 5-piece John Dillon‘s debut album “The Lost Estate” gets a great review from Nicole Gifford at Speak Into My Good Eye:
“…dream pop at its most wistful…lush and melodic, fusing 80s synths in the style of New Order with the 60s California hippie sensibilities of Moby Grape.”

John Dillon album ‘The Lost Estate’ premieres at Northwest Music Scene
NorthWest Music Scene premieres the debut album from Seattle 5-piece John Dillon!
John Dillon is a new experimental pop band fronted by singing-songwriting mad genius Dillon Sturtevant…Everything from hypnagogic pop to new wave to dream pop to noise pop shows up…Though there’s obviously a very poppy, immediate sensibility to a lot of what happens on this LP, it’s all filtered through a diverse and kaleidoscopic lens.
Stream “The Lost Estate” and pick up a vinyl copy tomorrow from Plume Records.

The Autumn Roses on new singles from Phosphene:
They orbit faithfully like moons, pale-ivory and present ghosts during the day, bright beacons at night. Both ‘Wild Decay’ and ‘Ride’ jangle with melancholy and a lost hope found, and they are taken from Breaker, the forthcoming six-song EP from Oakland’s Phosphene.
Phosphene on With Guitars
Thanks to WithGuitars for sharing Phosphene‘s new single “Wild Decay”!
The Sound of Confusion premieres John Dillon single “Holy Fool”
The Sound Of Confusion premieres the new single from Seattle 5-piece band John Dillon:
…luscious, expansive and a little stately. In terms of structure, ‘Holy Fool’ is vintage pop that doesn’t belong to a particular time, but for all its ‘Be My Baby’ drums, classic slide guitar and yearning melodies, it doesn’t sound dated, although it does sound timeless, with a dreamy atmosphere that’s thick but not overbearing. You could perhaps make comparisons to certain Pink Mountaintops songs in that respect (‘Axis: Thrones Of Love’ springs to mind), due to the subtle beauty that’s tinged with sadness. Gorgeous.
Listen to “Holy Fool” and pick up the debut album from Plume Records on March 25th.
