We’re so excited to welcome Quarter-Life Crisis to the Saddle Creek family: A new Ryan Hemsworth project featuring collaborations with Frances Quinlan (Hop Along), Meg Duffy (Hand Habits), Charlie Martin (Hovvdy), Claud, and Yohuna.  The debut EP comes out December 4th!

Tomberlin, the Los Angeles via Lousiville, KY artist, has announced a new EP titled Projections with a Busy Philipps-directed video for its lead single "Wasted." The EP, which was produced by Alex G (Alex Giannascoli) and his bandmate Sam Acchione, continues the arc of her critically acclaimed 2018 debut, At Weddings. The rich vocal harmonies and guitar lines that made At Weddings so riveting still provide the EP's foundation, but new percussive backing and instrumental flourishes open the path forward for Tomberlin.

Imagine a shoreline alone, carved from the continent, without land or water to border it, a rind of possibility, a moon-colored border between land and sea, knowing and unknowing. This is Conceptual Beach, a place John Rossiter, vocalist/guitarist of Los Angeles-based Young Jesus, describes as his long-time mental refuge, where he imagines himself living—like a medieval, stigmata-wrought hermit—all his needs for okay-ness finally met. But for the first time, he’s opening up and inviting others to join him there.

Young Jesus' new album Welcome to Conceptual Beach takes what was once a personal escape for Rossiter and, with the collaborative lead of bandmates Marcel Borbon (bass), Eric Shevrin (keys), and Kern Haug (drums), transforms it into a universal experience.

Introducing Divide and Dissolve - A heavy two-piece thunderous force of neo-classical doom metal, utilizing drums, guitar, saxophone and live effects to create music designed to decolonise, decentralise, and destroy white supremacy. Mirroring the brash, bone-crushing potency of their dynamic drone music, the formidable Takiaya Reed (Black & Tsalagi [Cherokee]) and Sylvie Nehill (Māori) carry their ancestors’ fight forward each and every day, using the power of their performances to draw attention to the ongoing battle against systemic oppression.

TFW 7" is in stores August 7th, but we're shipping pre-orders now! Order here.

Land of Talk—the Montreal-based band led by Elizabeth Powell—today announced its new album Indistinct Conversations will be released on May 15th. All 11 songs on Indistinct Conversations were written by Powell (vocals/guitar/keys), and share the hallmarks of the Land of Talk sound: her silvery vocals; masterful, at times cacophonous guitar playing; and a stream-of-conscious lyricism—here perhaps at her most emotionally vulnerable and honest. The album’s first single “Weight of That Weekend,” is now streaming, and Indistinct Conversations is available for pre-order.
