Annalibera mention in Columbia Tribune
Annalibera receives a mention in the Columbia Tribune in their feature on Cafe Berlin:
Annalibera is one of a trio of Iowa acts that will share a bill at Cafe Berlin (Columbia, MO). Dubbing itself a ‘twang-shoe chambergaze band,’ Annalibera makes hazy, lush and lovely pop that recalls both the moodier and more melodic sides of New Wave and ’90s alt-rock.
FULL STREAM PREMIERE: Band Bombshell premieres Karen Meat & the Computer EP

DSM Shows reviews Karen Meat & the Players new EP
DSM Shows reviews the new Karen Meat & the Computer EP by Karen Meat & the Players, out on March 3rd on cassette and digital formats on Red Nude Tapes.
For an album that contains songs that are mostly about pizza, beer, and dysfunctional relationships, Karen Meat’s latest offering, ‘Karen Meat & The Computer,’ is utterly and unrelentingly adorable. In the span of just five tracks, from three different songwriters, they manage to articulate a unified theme and a fresh, challenging take on the world that is vexingly rooted in both the kitschy and the macabre. Somehow it is both cute and gritty, exhibiting pop sensibilities in equal measure to it’s hooligan nature.
Read the rest of the review at DSM Shows and pre-order the cassette or pick it up in Des Moines at Vaudeville Mews on Friday, February 27th.

Get It On Vinyl reviews Annalibera’s debut album “Nevermind I Love You”
Get It On Vinyl reviews Annalibera‘s debut album Nevermind I Love You, out on March 24th on vinyl from Sump Pump Records.
Call Annalibera anything you like. Call them rock, pop, shoegaze, chamber rock, whatever. Certainly somewhere in their debut album, Nevermind I Love You, you are bound to find influence. However no matter what you label their music, make sure you use other metaphors like original, unique, and spectacular…some amazing energies that pour out of these eight tracks.

Nooga.com reviews Frogbelly and Symphony‘s new single “Patch of Blue” from their forthcoming debut album Blue Bright Ow Sleep, out on March 24th on Labelship UK:
Dense guitar riffs, a thudding percussive backbone and singer Liz Hanley’s powerful voice lead us along this road of opaque rhythms and mercurial instrumentation—the song incorporates bits of experimental noise and sound, all blended together in a jarring suite of music that feels like the tail end of a terrifying trip through Frankenstein’s laboratory.
