"The last time we heard from Gospel Music (Owen Holmes, bassist of Black Kids) on 2010's duettes EP, Owen Holmes was collaborating with members of the Magnetic Fields, Camera Obscura and other likeminded artists, creating a sound critics compared to Jonathan Richman, Silver Jews and the Vaselines. On How To Get To Heaven From Jacksonville, FL, he further develops his homespun lo-fi, layering toy piano, organ and banjo over jangly guitars, bouncy basslines and minimalist drums. His playful, conversational baritone sits squarely between that of David Berman and Lou Reed, while lots of syrupy female vocals, this time from his Jacksonville friend Madeline Long, provide the perfect foil."

"Forbidden Friends is the side-project of Hutch Harris from The Thermals. An almost-acoustic affair, the songs are at once modern and old-fashioned. The instrumentation is incredibly minimal - simple and effective. The lyrics are love stories sung from a hidden location - keep it underneath, in a place where only you and I know."

"Third single plus an unreleased track from the Thermals album, Personal Life. The Thermals are unstoppable! After an incredibly busy 2010 (6 tours, 4 singles and 1 LP), The Thermals are showing no signs of stopping or even slowing down."

"Horse Feathers has been on the road for the majority of 2010 following the April release of their third full-length, Thistled Spring. They closed their record release show in their hometown of Portland, OR with a cover of Nirvana's 'Drain You' so powerful that the whole town was still talking about it days later! KRS made them jump into the studio between tours to commit this phenomenon to vinyl, and the result is this 7": 'Drain You' on the A side and a new original, 'Bonnet of Briars', on the B side."

"Musically, 'Never Listen To Me' and its B-side 'There Is Always A Reason' find The Thermals treading new ground. Unlike the power-chord powered raucous sing-alongs for which The Thermals are famous, these songs are driven primarily by the rhythm section, with the guitar and vocals taking on a more subtle, subdued role. Like most Thermals songs, on the surface they appear quite simple. But these songs expand and collapse in new and exciting ways, and are a good indication of where The Thermals are heading."

"Panther is back with Entropy, a 12" of new material from the prolific Portland originators of 'floor dancing.' This vinyl gem features more of the jerking rhythms and catchy hooks Panther fans remember from their 2008 full-length on KRS, 14kt God, but these new songs move in a Pinback-y way towards more piano-driven than guitar-driven melodies. Charles Salas-Humara and Joe Kelly create a lot of layers for a duo, building songs that allow Charlie's vocals to float ethereally into other realms, while firmly moored by Joe's solid drums."
