Sean Henry :: A Jump from the High Dive

Double Double Whammy • released 2019-11-01

Another solo pop genius wunderkind, blasting it out of the water with a summery mix of rock and psychedelia.

Approximately Relevant

Peel Dream Magazine :: Rose Main Reading Room

Is it the analog synthesizer flourishes, or the gentle delivery with an aggressive intent, or the seamless shuttling between disparate elements that shouldn't work together? The band sounds perfectly familiar, yet completely its own thing.

Ghost of Vroom :: Ghost of Vroom 2 EP

That loose groove on the drums, the casually menacing bass, and Mike Doughty’s stream-and-consciousness narration… there’s also no shortage of political commentary on these three songs, putting a bold face on topics most others approach obliquely.

Telekinesis :: Effluxion

An unusually sharp pop sensibility keeps this outfit from blending into the background, with rough-and-tumble rocking.

Bird Streets :: Bird Streets

Smart guitar pop never goes out of style, and sharp lyrics make it all the better.
