Wishy - Paradise on Planet Popstar - CASSETTES

Introducing Wishy, a brand new band from celebrated Indiana songwriters Kevin Krauter and Nina Pitchkites. Wishy came to life as a musical partnership between the two Indianapolis musicians when Pitchkites moved back home from Philadelphia in 2021. The two bonded over their love for 90s alternative bands like The Sundays and My Bloody Valentine and soon began crafting their own brand of swirling pop-rock with an introspective, grungy flair. By day Krauter works as a music teacher, giving drum and guitar lessons to students, while Pitchkites is a seamstress by trade and often makes embroidered merch for the band. While Krauter spent the better part of the last decade cementing his place as a torchbearer of Midwestern dream pop with 2018's Toss Up and 2020's Full Hand, Pitchkites delved into her own indie electro-pop project Push Pop, writing songs like InchSpinningInch that would later be reworked for Wishy. To round out the live band, Pitchkites and Krauter enlisted guitarist Dimitri Morris, bassist Mitch Collins, and drummer Conner Host.Across two trips to Los Angeles in late 2022 and early 2023, Krauter and Pitchkites linked up with friend and producer Ben Lumsdaine, who had some spare time between Durand Jones tours to record the pair's newly written songs. The result of their fruitful time in sunny California is the aptly named Paradise, a breezy and melodic EP that puts on full display the songwriter's musical fluency. Tastefully blending shoegaze, dreampop, and alt-rock into a heavenly haze, Wishy delivers a strong 5-song introduction that's dense with melodic earworms and stirring sentiment. Wishy's debut single for new tag home Winspear, the driving and distorted InchDonut,Inch showcases Pitchkites' hypnotic vocal and Krauter's melancholic wash of guitars. Written after a period when Pitchkites was driving on a spare, InchDonutInch laments the cynical capitali

With the of Her Name is Deborah, Deborah Hightower turns the music world on it's ear - literally. Her album is a 12-song journey of contemporary, love-inspired music designed to speak to the heart.

Deborah as nominated for 2008 ICM New Artist of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year. Debuting original work in three songs, co-written with her husband, she opens the door for hearts to give and receive the most important gift - love. When I Call Your Name and Jesus, Savior are praise songs that set the stage for worship. I Love You (and say I do) focuses on the spiritual union of marriage. The album evokes a variety of emotions - from the light-hearted, Be Blessed, to the dramatic, Anytime. This unique rendition of Walk on Water, a duet with Michael Lusk, adds flavor to the album and serves as a reminder that we're imperfect but God's mercy and grace is new everyday. Miracle, meaning 'something wonderful', is a song of hope and inspiration that prompts us to acknowledge faith as a necessary component of supernatural intervention. Deborah worked with the finest studio musicians Nashville has to offer, including Mike Schrimpf on keyboards and harmonica; Tim Atwood on keyboards; bass guitarists Matt McGee and Dave Roark; Steve Hinson on steel; and drummers Jerry Roark and Mark Beckett. Often compared to Natalie Grant, Deborah has a rich, smooth, elegant voice that works the high notes and massages the low ones displaying an almost visible curve in between. Her Name is Deborah crosses over into country, adult contemporary, and praise and worship genres representing the eclectic mix her fans enjoy listening to. Just like the variety of music offered on this album, Deborah has performed at an arr
