Labrador
When the going gets tough, Labrador are there to lift you up. On their sophomore album, Hold the Door for Strangers, the tenderly bruised alt-country quintet have crafted a collection of compassionate story songs. Patching together ragged indie rock performances with stately strings and electrified solos, the introspective narrators of the band’s cowboy ballads wear emotional scars like a sheriff’s gold star. Led by Philadelphia-based songwriter Pat King, the album tracks a "a battalion of characters, like a populated novel or some enchanting universe that’s deftly and oddly familiar" (FLOOD Magazine) while reminding you that "the cruelty of the world affects us all, and that good times are just around the bend" (Post-Trash). Upon its release, the album was chosen as a "New & Notable" release at Bandcamp.
Freezing Cold
Freezing Cold is a Brooklyn based 3-piece playing 90s alt inspired indie rock driven by three part harmonies and thoughtful dynamics. New Noise Magazine described their debut album as "heartland-style punk at its most infectious", while Post-Trash challenged listeners to "try to get those melodies unstuck from your head". Their upcoming EP, recorded by Marissa Paternoster of Screaming Females, is scheduled for release in Spring of 2023.
Field Guides
Field Guides is the ever-shifting project of Brooklyn-based artist Benedict Kupstas, accompanied by an expansive list of collaborators both on record and live. With Ginkgo, the band's third album—after 2014’s Boo, Forever (which The Big Takeover called “sprawling, dense, and mysterious”) and 2019’s This Is Just A Place (which Gold Flake Paint called “one of the year’s most rewarding discoveries”)—Kupstas has created a "profoundly organic indie folk space" (PopMatters), "a record of turmoil, fear, and unease that seeks wonder not via some great transcendence but rather what already lies near" (Various Small Flames), "full of beautifully intricate details and crashing waves of melody" (For The Rabbits). The album appeared on multiple year-end lists and was named Album of the Year by For The Rabbits.
