About this product
Perhaps the biggest challenge for any musician is to learn to grow as an artist and expand one's repertoire while retaining a coherent overarching vision to one's work. Since their inception and across the span of three full-length albums, Blackwater Holylight have consistently conjured an aura of both power and vulnerability, as if the members of the band have found both the space and the vehicle for lowering their emotional defenses by fortifying their position with pure sonic strength. Yet that persistently haunting and enchanting quality has manifested in a variety of approaches. Equally adept at devil's note doom riffs, narcotic neo-folk melodies, lysergic psychedelic forays, and jagged art-rock abrasion, Blackwater Holylight have used their limited arsenal of guitar, bass, drums, synth, and voice to cover a broad swath of aural terrain. On their newest EP, If You Only Knew, Blackwater Holylight continue to follow a path marked only as further, mining new tactics and timbres across four songs while continuing to address the uncertainties that come with transference and transition. If You Only Knew opens with InchWandering Lost,Inch a track singer/guitarist/bassist Sunny Faris describes as being about Inchfeeling community in sorrow and remembering that everyone hurts, everyone changes, and that no one knows what's next.Inch Fueled by the interwoven melodies of Sarah McKenna's mournful electric piano and Sunny's lilting vocals, then driven into high gear with Mikayla Mayhew's amplifier-worshipping guitars and Eliese Dorsay's earth-shaking drums in the chorus, the song thrives on the contrast between sublime beauty and seismic menace, underscoring the song's dichotomous theme of acknowledging pain and harnessing the power of shared experience in life's trials and tribulations. From there, the EP segues into InchTorn Reckless,Inch a song that combines the wall-of-so

Marmozets return - raw, relentless, and unapologetically themselves - with their first new album in eight years; 'CO. WAR. DICE. ' Stripped back to a four-piece, Marmozets channelled a new power from the spaciousness of the tighter line-up, taking in influences like The Cramps and Devo.

With their smart, melodic rock and tight live performances, Baton Rouge, Louisiana's Better Than Ezra have sold nearly 2 million albums since their 1995 debut album Deluxe. On How Does Your Garden Grow?, the trio breaks fresh musical ground, stretching their songs into new shapes and playing a variety of new instruments. The 1st single, InchOne More Murder,Inch showcases the band's new approach - moody, percussive and soulful (the track is also featured on the X-Files The Album O.S.T.).
Holding fast to the emotional honesty of 'Playing House' (2017), Common Holly's sophomore record, 'When I say to you Black Lightning' is a look outward; an exploration of the ways in which we all experience pain, fear and self-delusion, and how we can learn to confront those feelings with boldness. Common Holly is the one woman project of Montreal's Brigitte Naggar, who has been profiled in Stereogum, BUST, Billboard and more.The new record is more experimental than her debut. It is rougher, looser, louder and more atonal. It feels edgy, but still kind. InchWhen I say to you Black LightningInch ditches fear without losing vulnerability, and trades in sadness for the healing powers of anger, and the strength of observing, recognizing and confrontingThrough it's nine labyrinthian yet catchy tracks, shaped sonically by the seriously unique visions of Devon Bate, Hamish Mitchell, and Naggar herself, the album observes the complexities of mental health, the precarity of life, and the challenges of finding strength in the face of grave misunderstanding.01.
