A product of Wisconsin’s harsh winter climate is DUSK. Six months of overcast, sub-zero weather tends to bring out the feelings of desolate hopelessness. DUSK has chosen to channel these emotions into musical form. Mood, atmosphere and a sense of “groove” are combined into a mournful, aural experience. Brought to vinyl for the first time by THE CRYPT, go check out DUSK in August if you can (one of the few times you can see a CRYPT band live!).

Over the last few years, Moon Baillie’s band PAMPA has played stages and festivals across Seattle, earning veteran status despite having no recorded material. Now the quintet introduces “In the Flatlands”, their debut LP, a mesmerizing mix of elegantly entwined guitars, dramatically unfolding compositions and Moon Baillie’s poignant vocals, sung in English and Spanish. “In the Flatlands” picks up the tradition of moody Northwest angst and embellishes it with Moon Baillie’s well-traveled, world-weary perspective. These 10 songs are simultaneously classic and of-the-moment, beautiful and stormy, presenting time-tested rock n roll through a fresh, expansive perspective.

NOAH GUTHRIE, known for portraying Roderick Meeks on Fox’s hit TV show Glee, released his sophomore album, “The Valley”. The creation of “The Valley” was purely a passion project and, in turn, a direct result of GUTHRIE’S feverish fans and social media following who contributed more than the desired funding in order to bring this project into existence through Pledge Music.
