Brooklyn’s Kodacrome are preparing to release a very special EP, March 6th, entitled The Banff Sessions. It features five tracks; two brand new and three new versions of previously released songs. The EP arose from a residency the band did at the Banff Centre in Canada, where they studied the expressive relationship between orchestral instruments and analog synths, and ultimately arranged and recorded this chamber-based redux album.
Glide Magazine premiered the first single “Play Dead” today, calling the song “a dynamic and lush soundscape that contains Explosions in the Sky buildups with shoegaze textures with post-rock nods. Kodacrome are enablers of mood-setting in the most devious ways, with classic creeping piano and enough hush to keep listeners expecting the unexpected.” We couldn’t agree more!

PopMatters just premiered the new single from Dinky Pop artists, Adir L.C. We feel the need to warn you. Once you hear this song, it will get stuck in your head. It’s that kind of catchy! PM says of Adir L.C., “Already a popular artist in Israel, his crossover appeal on this side of the world is undeniable, and based on the strength of the new track “Dinosaurs”, it should only be a matter of time.”
Oceanside Cities is coming out November 6th!

Get your Casiotone For The Painfully Alone requests ready, because Owen will be bringing his stacks of keyboards, bass-heavy beats, and wry stage banter to both sides of the pond in the next two months.
