Chad Clark Describes Things As They Are

Shrunken Elvis is a Nashville-based trio born from long European drives, cold winter jam sessions, and a mutual love of genre-defying sound exploration. The group unites three seasoned musicians — Spencer Cullum, Sean Thompson, and Rich Ruth — each bringing a distinct musical background to a shared creative space that prizes intuition over ambition. Their self-titled record is out now on Western Vinyl.

Pickle Darling has always existed just outside of the periphery. In a heightened time of fast music, algorithmic consumption and rapid virality, Lukas Mayo (they/them) has remained focused on the album. Their discography is a reflection of their creative evolution, and they deliberately look for ways to push sonic boundaries from release to release. Since debuting with Bigness in 2019 followed by Cosmonaut in 2021, Mayo has curated a catalog that is deeply personal and strangely tactile, where tiny, unexpected details — an off-kilter loop, a whispered aside, the warmth of an old Casio—become as crucial as melody itself. Their latest record, Bots, is out now on Father/Daughter

Welcome to Adam Green’s Chat With Tchotchke

In the darkest days of December, 2020, when NYC was being battered into a shell of itself by the pandemic, Joe Denardo (Growing, Ornament) encouraged Dan Wise (Honey, Psychic Ills, Kill Me Tomorrow) to start jamming some songs Dan had been sitting on. After a few years and different personnel, the Cool Whip sound coalesced and FLAME IN MY HEART was born.

A version of james K was born. Comprised of bones, reactive metals and a larynx with freckled eyes that catalyzes that mix. She produces her music and makes temporary haven for indomitable lyrics — and these are in constant flux. You can check what they are here: [917 908-1173]. It&#8217;s only a part of her ultra-detailed world. A world that she abandons and then builds upon.
