Seattle’s John Dillon is The Daily Listening‘s Daily Discovery:
“‘Death Mask’ is a rather nostalgic mix of Joy Division-esque vocals and lush 80’s synths. In other words, this is the band you need to watch this year.”
Their debut album The Lost Estate is out on vinyl and digital formats on March 25 via Plume Records!
Copperfox‘s new EP Haunts is out Friday! Songwriting Magazine premieres the full stream today:
“We think that the end result is something very special…Our personal favourite is the D’ark remix of ‘Feel In The Void,’ with the fresh take giving it a Princess Chelsea meets My Bloody Valentine vibe.”
The new Copperfox single “Feel in the Void” premieres over at GroundSounds!
“Featuring haunting pop melodies over moody chord structures, Nashville based dream-pop ensemble Copperfox are gearing up for their third release, the forthcoming EP ‘Haunts.’ The project is layered with atmospheric vibes and surging synths…”
“Outlier” by Those Manic Seas is today’s Song of the Day on The Daily Listening:
The band are heading out on a US tour to celebrate the release of their single and music video, “Outlier,” while they prepare new material for their debut full-length. Comprised of Daniel Medley, Drew Rollo, and Justin Jones in addition to the aforementioned Kilroy on vocals, this indie/art-rock fourpiece have been compared to the likes of MuteMath, The Killers and Interpol. If you’re not intrigued by now, something’s wrong.
The Daily Listening on Field Division‘s “Modest Mountains” video:
“…conjuring up a daydream that’s equally as blissful as it is alluring. The band recently released a video for the track, ‘Modest Mountains,’ featuring everything you’ve ever dreamed about the perfect road trip away from the hustle and bustle.”
Lafayette Journal & Courier recommends tonight’s Deaf Poets show at The Spot Tavern:
“Sean Wouters and Nicolas Espinosa, a duo from Miami Beach, combine garage rock, grunge and ’80s punk with straightforward rhythms that balance hard-edged and polished.”
Selective Memory Mag reviews Luna, the new album from Portland’s There Is No Mountain:
It’s not that this album is folk rock than it is ethereal alternative forcing genres from the early ‘90s that bands like House of Love or Lush fused together…The eccentricity of [drummer/vocalist Kali Giaritta and guitarist/vocalist Matt Harmon] allow them to explore avenues of rock and pop in ways others have not…Levels are pushed and the power from these two explode. What is this monster I have ran into? How can an album that has started out as gentle as a blown leaf turn into a vivacious rock odyssey?
Exclaim! premieres the new music video from Field Division — watch “Modest Mountains” from their Reverie State EP:
Shot during a tour to the West Coast this past November, performance footage is nicely spliced with shots of babbling brooks, sweeping vistas and waves crashing on sandy shores. The wild beauty of the band’s scenic tour route pairs excellently with the track’s flighty vocals and reverberating guitars, mandolins and drums.
Surviving the Golden Age digs in to There Is No Mountain‘s new album LUNA, out now from ORG Music:
There’s a ton going on with the guitars, whether they’re big and fuzzy or faint and picked, but it’s like life going on below the surface of a body of water. When the guitar is at its most intricate, it’s also at its softest volume. There are big, fuzzy chords on ‘Listening to Sadness’ and ‘Waterbound,’ but there are also soft, plucked parts hiding in there. ‘Hiking’ is one of the few songs where the guitar gets all the solos it needs to really stand out. Because inspiration was taken from so many sources, at times the guitars sound like ‘90s alternative, or Latin (think of a world music CD being played at a Ten Thousand Villages store,) or a little Renaissance Faire-esque when it gets classical, or kind of folky Americana. I’m pretty sure I even caught a touch of zydeco in ‘Black Hole (Part 2).’
The Portland State Vanguard reviews There Is No Mountain‘s album release show for Luna, out now on Org Music:
Giaritta and Harmon navigated an eclectic emotional landscape of music which was at times wistful and melancholy, while at others spirited and uplifting…it captures the highs and lows of life. In a word, it feels very raw…an incredibly unique sound, but rather than coming off as pretentious, Giaritta and Harmon’s work feels eminently relatable.
That Music Magazine reviews There Is No Mountain‘s new album Luna, out today from Org Music.
Luna takes us on an hour-long trip trough their souls. With complex song structures and orchestrations, the songs flow naturally and build up a crystal-clear picture of the duet’s minds and visions. Providing unique and singular expressions, the record combines sadness, with darker themes of anxiety and depression, to bubbly optimism. Relatable and honest, There Is No Mountain’s Luna is modern and unexpected.
Sacramento News & Review previews There Is No Mountain‘s show in Sacramento:
…dark, eerie and unsettling. The couple evokes a certain sense of minimalism, but between the nuanced, dynamic songwriting, the spooky harmonies and worldbeat influence, they really fill the songs out and create something truly unique.

Willamette Week reviews LUNA by There Is No Mountain, out on January 15th from ORG Music:
Luna, which doles out sadness and quirky optimism in equal measure. Abrupt tempo changes alter many of the tunes within the course of a few bars, transforming spare arrangements into complex orchestrations that highlight guitarist Matt Harmon’s virtuosity and place Kali Giaritta’s wispy vocals at the fore.
