Dalton Deschain & the Traveling Show, share new single “Tin Laurels”
“Tin Laurels” premiered on All Things Go with Deschain detailing it’s, “a Blackstar (Bowie)-inspired post-rock track about the dark realities of the American dream and putting your desperate trust in the wrong people. This was the first song I wrote that was inspired by the rise of Donald Trump, back in late 2015. It’s about trying to find your way forward with every economic and political force working against you and out of your control, while everyone around you gives into distraction and solace from all kinds of places, from Trump to pop music. Story-wise, it’s about Catherine coming to Detroit to become an actress, only to have the city collapse and become enthralled with a rising revolutionary that she’s not sure can be trusted.”

But for me it’s also about leaving behind an enormous section of your life… the city I lived in, the people I grew to know, the rituals I had for myself. The place to drown itself refers to me, often in relationships I feel there’s a danger that one can become an object of escapism rather than a partner…”

This track, much like the album itself, is about family and heritage, and the tension between honoring the past and embracing the future.

Written and recorded over the course of two years in Ross’ home in the Catskill Mountains, there are audible traces of solitude and stillness everywhere on the record.

This chapter of the already isolated process furthered the strange intimacy of the album.
Paper Monsters Utilize 3D Printing in “Red Light” Music Video
Manchester, NH natives Paper Monsters twist alternative rock and pop genres to creatively blend acoustic and electronic instrumentation. However, it is their name derivative that makes this 4 piece, consisting of Matt Blanchette (Vocals, Acoustic), Chris Kinney (Guitar), Dylan Charest (Drums), and Ryan Boehlke (Bass), stand out. The name stems from their single “Riddles” off the band’s triumphant debut EP, With Riddles, released last summer. The lyrics from the song were loosely based on the Chinese Proverb translated as “Paper Tiger.” The saying is meant to call out an enemy or feared general as being made actually from paper and weak once pushed. Paper Monsters are representative of the demons we encounter in our daily lives and to remind us that they are mostly in our heads; made of paper, and that we should tear them up and throw them away. Taking this meaning one step further, Paper Monsters pieced together one of a kind paper masks using 3D printing as a staple to their brand, image, and live show performance.
Moses Guest “Light”

It came to me right along with “Black Road.” My daughter, Edie (9 years old) helped me with it a lot, telling me to keep certain parts and get rid of others. It’s about the all-too-common (at least for me) experience of being really excited about something or someone, then thinking that thing or person is maybe not cool at all, and finally thinking there just no way to be sure.”

As we were talking it just hit us, this is the perfect moment, let’s just film it now and catch it.
