Horse Jumper of Love
“Boston’s Horse Jumper of Love are a self-proclaimed “slow rock” trio whose combination of wan croons, melancholic strumming, and ramshackle production place their music in Microphones territory.” – Pitchfork
Memory looms large on Horse Jumper of Love’s hypnotic sophomore album, ‘So Divine,’ but it remains elusive. Throughout the record, tiny snapshots from the past float to the surface, baring themselves for brief moments before diving back into the ether. Like abstract collages, the Boston-based three-piece’s songs jumble richly detailed scenes and vivid imagery, papering over one moment with the next until each string of seemingly unrelated thoughts coalesces into a breathtaking work of art, one that reveals deep truths about ourselves and our psyches.
‘So Divine’ will mark the band’s first release for Run For Cover Records.
MJ Lenderman and the Wind
A genuine local favorite.
“When Jake Lenderman is not playing guitar in the incendiary Asheville indie rock band Wednesday, he’s releasing his own Southern-fried indie tracks under the name MJ Lenderman. He’s about to follow up his excellent 2020 debut Ghost Of Your Guitar Solo with a new LP called Boat Songs, dropping in late April via Dear Life.” – Stereogum
Hayden Pedigo
“Before he was a living meme who ran for his home town’s city council — now the subject of a documentary — Hayden Pedigo started finger-picking an acoustic guitar as a teen in Amarillo, Texas. Nearly a decade after his first release, Pedigo has stretched out his sound — fewer flashy moves make way for gentler melodies, whispering into an endless sky.” – NPR
