SARAH BETHE NELSON
“Working with producer Kelley Stoltz as well as a small troupe of Bay Area musicians, Nelson makes those guitars chime and sparkle on songs like the sunny-sad “Uneasy” and the soft-focus jam “Every Other Sunday”. Her primary inspirations seem to be ornate ’60s pop and austere ’90s slowcore; that pairing of florid Beach Boys elements and mopey Bedhead ambience might seem contradictory,...

“Working with producer Kelley Stoltz as well as a small troupe of Bay Area musicians, Nelson makes those guitars chime and sparkle on songs like the sunny-sad “Uneasy” and the soft-focus jam “Every Other Sunday”. Her primary inspirations seem to be ornate ’60s pop and austere ’90s slowcore; that pairing of florid Beach Boys elements and mopey Bedhead ambience might seem contradictory, but Nelson makes it sound perfectly natural, each bringing out something new in the other.” – Pitchfork
YEA-MING AND THE RUMOURS
“Fans of pop music rejoice! The long awaited single is now available from Oakland’s very own Yea-Ming & The Rumours. Yea-Ming ranks amongst the best in SF Bay pop royalty. Dreamdate (her band with Anna Hillburg) secured this status years ago with several remarkable albums starting with 2007′s essential Come Over Now. Dreamdate still play a coveted 1 or 2 shows per year. Thankfully, Yea-Ming has a new band and a new record.” – The Bay Bridged
ETERNAL DRAG
“There’s a new band in town: Eternal Drag. Made up of members from San Francisco indie pop standards such as The Dodos and Social Studies as well as lo-fi band White Fence, the group has an impressive lineage right from the get-go. The band is delightfully subdued in nature with dreamy vocals and subtle instrumentation to match. This month, Eternal Drag released two songs on their newly-established Bandcamp. “Another Bottle” is a sleepy track with vocals and lyrics reminiscent of Harvest-era Neil Young. The other track, “Hovering,” is laden with vocal harmonizing and constant, droning guitar work.” – The Bay Bridged
