Taylor Acorn - Poster Child - VINYL LP

Ever Crashing, the second LP by Kennedy Ashlyn aka SRSQ [pronounced 'seer-skew'], is the summation of a nearly three-year journey of soul searching, songwriting, and self-discovery InchI became myself in the process of making this record.Inch From the first choral swells of opener InchIt Always Rains,Inch it's clear this collection exists on an ascendant plane, capturing an artist in super bloom. Every song hits like a single, heaving with guitar, synth, strings, live drums, and oceans of Ashlyn's astounding voice, balletic and illuminated. The tracks gleam with detail, often assembled from as many as 100 separate tracks, all of which were written and played solely by Ashlyn - a feat of world-building as daunting as it is devastating.For her, however, the process is intrinsic and intuitive - even a matter of survival. Her 2018 solo debut emerged in response to the tragic Ghost Ship fire in Oakland, which took the life of her bandmate and best friend Cash Askew. Similarly, Ever Crashing began materializing in the wake of an ADHD and bipolar disorder diagnosis, prompting a profound personal overhaul.

Seattle-based psych-pop rock band Black Whales their second full-length album entitled Through the Prism, Gently, with a limited edition colored vinyl component. Influenced by artists such as Kurt Vile, the Velvet Underground, and the Flaming Lips, their sound drifts between booming, almost danceable psychedelic anthems to darker and more ambient territories. Pulling heavily from groups that have inspired them over the years, the band draws comparisons to groups from 13th Floor Elevators and the Jesus and Mary Chain to more modern day contemporaries such as the War on Drugs and Crocodiles. Their unique sound has taken them around the US playing festivals from national events such as SXSW, CMJ, San Diego Music Thing, Sasquatch! And Bumbershoot.
