Foamboy Spotlight
foamboy is a Portland-based pop duo comprised of producer Wil Bakula and vocalist Katy Ohsiek. Wil and Katy worked together for many years in other projects before creating their debut pop album.
This Is Lorelei Spotlight
Since 2012, New York City singer-songwriter Nate Amos (Water From Your Eyes, My Idea) has recorded and self-released hundreds of songs under the This Is Lorelei moniker, and perhaps surprisingly, after a decade plus, Box for Buddy, Box for Star marks the first attempt at a traditional, intentionally written full-length album. Amos describes the bulk of This Is Lorelei’s discography as “unedited diary entries,” written and recorded without much forethought, regard for genre or reverence for albums as thematic bodies of work, so oddly enough, Box for Buddy, Box for Star is both a fresh start and the culmination of years of diligent, interesting songwriting.
Rhododendron Spotlight
“Rhododendron is a band from Portland, Oregon. Formed in early 2019, they take sonic cues from old-school math rock and post-hardcore as well as a healthy dose of post-rock, drone, jazz, and whatever music they might be listening to that day.
They have spent the last five years dialing in a sound that is both a reflection of this wide array of music, while also being entirely their own. The music is dense, technical, and dynamic, relying on Gage Walker’s dexterous basslines, Ezra Chong’s noisy, effects-laden guitar and occasional shrieks, and Noah Mortola’s relentless drumming to get their point across.
The band has released both an EP and LP and have been hard at work preparing their sophomore full-length record that is slated to be released in 2024.”
