About this product
Just a few months after releasing their acclaimed second album Still Life, Los Angeles indie-pop band Massage returns with Lane Lines a six-track EP out in early 2022 on Mt. St. Mtn. (Cindy, Flowertown, Blues Lawyer) that finds the quintet expanding on their Sarah-meets-Creation Records sound with new touches of soft psychedelia, Feelies-ish frenzy and Haçienda-era escapism. The band didn't plan to follow Still Lines so quickly. But after the pandemic further delayed that multi-year project, Alex Naidus (guitar, vocals, former Pains of Being Pure at Heart), Andrew Romano (guitar, vocals), Gabrielle Ferrer (keyboards, percussion, vocals), David Rager (bass) and Natalie de Almeida (drums) leapt at the chance to make music together again in real life and started gathering on random summer evenings in the tiny rehearsal-space studio of producer-composer Andrew Brassell (Susanna Hoffs) with no clear goal in mind. Lane Lines is the surprise product of those informal sessions - a flash of pent-up creative energy that serves as both a companion piece to Still Life and an exploration of textures and influences that didn't quite fit the full-length but have always been deeply embedded in the band's DNA, with new echoes of 1980s artists that sought to refract the 1960s through their own skewed prisms Flying Nun, the Paisley Underground, The Feelies covering The Beatles, InchSecond Summer of LoveInch New Order.

Recorded in mono by Jackpot! Owner/Tape OP editor Larry Crane, and featuring Mudhoney's Steve Turner on bass, Sunday State's debut 12Inch 45 RPM vinyl EP Inchmarries the bass-heavy angst of classic British post-punk with the heft and howl of the noisy, start/stop round kicks of American indie rock of the 1990s and aughts. If you love buzz and howl, fuzz and fun, Sunday State is decidedly a band for you.Inch -Pop Matters Album Tracks 1. Call Your Bluff 2. Punch Drunk 3. Shore Leave 4. Slide 5. Clearly You 6.

'A work 12 months in the making, Alex Lentini & STOMP BOXX deliver a standout EP debut. The Italian pair - living at the extreme opposites of their country's 'boot' will be new names to the Drumcode faithful. They first appeared on the tag in December 2020, with a strong contribution to A-Sides Vol.10 titled 'Expanders'. So impressed was Adam Beyer with their productions, a fulsome debut EP was secured soon after. 'Fine Line' was conceived in the final stages of 2019. With the extra studio time lockdown provided, the duo enjoyed a creative freefall, allowing them to refine a five-track work that sits at the intersection of home-listening techno and dancefloor functionalism. 'Natural Desire' has a definable spunk to it, as pulsating chords undulate towards a breathy pad-laden finish. 'Shifting Soul' is exquisite, as crunchy drums and a rousing vocal ensure it's a memorable addition to the Drumcode canon. The title track is colourful and thrilling in equal doses, as muscular synth lines coalesce alongside pin-sharp rhythms. 'Altered Cycle' is skilfully composed and marked by a stirring melodic lead and funky percussive underbelly. 'Curved Blade' is abrasive and gritty, before a dreamy spoken word interlude arouses an introspective mood. A fitting soundtrack for our times.'2020 was both strange and terrible, especially for music lovers. But it gave us enough time to carve out this collaboration. At this point a wonderful compromise arouse between our two different sound visions. It happened without too many thoughts and in a very natural way.' - Alex Lentini & STOMP BOXX Album Tracks 1. Fine Line 2. Altered Cycle 3. Curved Blade 4. Natural Desire 5.
