Thirty, by Winston C.W.

Welcome "Thirty", the new surprise solo album from Winston of Office Culture. Stripped down songs on solo piano, with lush string and synth accompaniment, it's like if Randy Newman and The Blue Nile got together to riff about aging. Which is to say, it's pretty great.

We've got a limited run of cassettes available and you can grab one at the show on Nov 1 ~~ Winston C.W. LP Release Party w/Gabriel Birnbaum and Pat Kelly

"There are folk songs and electronic songs and straight up indie rock songs, sad ones and mad ones and kinda strange ones...most importantly, you’ll be supporting a really, really good cause. So what are you waiting for?"

So Many Singing by Ruination Record Co. is seriously one of the strongest compilations we've heard. Tons of great bands (inc. LVL UP, Ben Seretan, Wilder Maker, Lung cycles, Tall Friend, Minor Moon, Will Stratton, Strange Ranger & Adeline Hotel) and an even greater cause, supporting the important work of International Refugee Assistance Project.

And better still, buy it TODAY to support Bandcamp's pledge to Transgender Law Center!

Half Waif – Cary | Going Solo

Half Waif – Cary | Going Solo

Earlier this year, we introduced Half Waif, the solo project of Pinegrove's Nandi Rose Plunkett. She released via Cascine a beautiful EP called form/a and recently penned an essay, Don't Call Me the Girl in the Band, on sexism in the music industry that is definitely worth a read.
