Deer Scout's debut full length Woodpecker is a record about memory and the subconscious. And like an unforgettable dream that keeps you puzzling over it's riddles for days, it's as packed with direct symbols as it is with ruminative haze. It's a culminating collection of the project's many sounds and influences to date, from Philly's punk cooperatives to Oberlin's conservatory experimentalism to New York's DIY history. At the center is Dena Miller's assured guitar fingerpicking and boldly clear voice, firmly grounded even as it gently probes uncertain emotional and musical terrain. Though Woodpecker is a record about uncertainty and the unknown, it's also about compassion and connection-as Miller was able to find over the course of writing and recording this next chapter for Deer Scout and first for Carpark, which she's excited to at last share with the world.001.

Almost certainly due to hit the big 2-0-0 this year, Jigsaw has worked with a damn lot of bands! And yet, due to the facts that we don't do contracts and the bands we work with are totally free to come and go as they please, we've never really had a InchproperInch tag roster or anything like that. But if I DID have to cobble together a list of InchJigsaw Records artistsInch, it probably wouldn't be very long - and New Jersey's Joy Cleaner would unquestionably be front and center. Back in 2017, we were thrilled to spread the good word via their stellar debut album, InchTotal HellInch; and then two years later, we excitedly put out their even better second album, InchYou're So JadedInch. During this time, the band did have a wee bit of extra-curricular activity, with a cassingle & split flexi on Are You Kidding Me? Tapes (both of which preceded their first LP) and another cassingle/7Inch lathe on Dromedary Records that came in between the two lps. Well, while the band is working on their third album, they've put together this odds-and-ends collection with those six afore-mentioned songs, another four that were released digitally or on compilations, and four more songs that have not yet seen the light of day! But don't be fooled - just because this is an assortment of recordings from a wide variety of dates/sources doesn't mean this isn't an excellent album in it's own right. I should know - it took me over two hours to get the sequence just right, so that it both flowed together really well AND made sense as a two-sided album (an art that often gets neglected in today's realm of single-sided CD albums)! The end result is a solid third album/non-album that you can put in the same class as InchTossing SeedsInch, InchThe Question Is NoInch or InchFossilsInch. Welcome home, Joy Cleaner!
