Low &bull; <i>HEY WHAT</i>

Low • HEY WHAT

A series of alien transmissions, ready for your fascinated decoding. A layering of sounds that are salty, sweet, savory. An incomprehensible message competing with a carnival across town and your roommate blasting Led Zeppelin through muffling walls.

Omni &bull; <i>Networker</i>

Omni • Networker

A strange confluence of influences, with a lot of dynamic arrangements and plenty of weird hooks that shouldn’t work but are lethally effective.

Corridor &bull; <i>Junior</i>

Corridor • Junior

Francophonic guitar attaque, brimming with chiming arpeggios, complicated stringular interplay, and words beyond comprehension but not understanding.

Frankie Cosmos &bull; <i>Close It Quietly</i>

Frankie Cosmos • Close It Quietly

Sweetness and sunshine without overstepping into cloying and saccharine, with chiming guitars and subtle keyboard hooks providing a bed for clear female croonings.
