About a year ago, I made a blog post called “Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2022“, in which I checked in on what a dozen of my favorite still-active labels had been up to during that year. I really enjoyed doing it (last year I wrote that “[small, independent record labels have] consistently been a keyContinue reading “Rosy Overdrive Label Watch 2023”

Pressing Concerns: Royal Ottawa, Lonesome Joan, Cosmo Jimmy, Still Submarine
New Monday, new Pressing Concerns! This is sort of an odds-and-ends one, which are always sneakily my favorite ones to do: new albums from Royal Ottawa and Lonesome Joan, a previously-unreleased new-old album from Cosmo Jimmy, and an EP from Still Submarine are what you can expect below. If you’re looking for more new music,Continue reading “Pressing Concerns: Royal Ottawa, Lonesome Joan, Cosmo Jimmy, Still Submarine”

New Playlist: October 2023
