Released on Tuesday, Nov 11 via locally rooted label, Admirable Traits, the lake-pop foursome’s debut EP, “Cool Your Jets,” is five tracks of care-free melodies, bursting vocals, and instrumentals that could fit in at your dad’s annual Labor Day party or on a playlist for a cool friend’s birthday.

Nevergreeens – It’s Already Paradise EP
RIYL: M83. Album Leaf, Eluvium
Local chillwave producer continues to drop cinematic, instrumental scores just begging to soundtrack a minimal, contemplative indie flick. The latest release finds Nevergreens, aka Matthew Reilly, delivering a short collection of dreamy melodies washed in warm synths and varied percussion and beats.

101010 – We Are The Movie (LP)
RIYL: Hum, Besnard Lakes, Interpol
Farewell album from former Vox Humana members, the spacey post-rock outfit closes up shop with eight tracks of booming shoegaze riffs and soaring vocals.

Falcont Cat – Year of The Wooden Horse (LP)
RIYL: Front Bottoms, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Decemberists
Former front man to high school band, Victory For Poland, Tylor Colby released his first full-length post-graduation via LIPS Records. The incredibly earnest and spanning project is 11 tracks of ambitious, bright, poignant, and weary ballads with unpredictable change-ups, perfectly narrating the life of a young adult.
