Paper Cameras Premiere New Single “Speed Of Wine” via NEW NOISE
The Painted Light LP from Paper Cameras has been a long time coming and well worth the wait. The lo-fi polyphonic soundscape is full of ethereal harmonies reminiscent of the 90’s garage influenced rock scene that veteran Portland musician Michael Carothers helped form. The history of Paper Cameras began in 2005, when Carothers (Spectator Pump/All The Dead Horses/The Glib) conceived the project and began writing songs. Three years later, the E.P. Lost Weekend was born. The E.P. was recorded with longtime friend, Nashville’s Jerry Wayne Campbell (Spider Virus/Millionaire Magicians) and producer Sean Flora (Black Keys/Shins/Stephen Malkmus).
V**GRA BOYS ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM + WATCH NEW VIDEO
Stockholm, Sweden post-punk band V**gra Boys (**= ia because spam filters) have announced their debut LP Street Worms for September 28th via YEAR0001 and with it an absurd new video for the first single off the album “Sports.” The video finds singer Sebastian Murphy stumbling around a tennis court mid-match singing the song that Pitchfork described as “unhinged exasperation.” Produced by Daniel Fagerström (Skull Defekts, Chronic Heist) and Pelle Gunnerfeldt (Fireside, The Hives) Street Worms is twisted post-punk akin to The Stooges meets The Birthday Party, or Devo cross-pollinated with The Fall culminating is one of those trips where you sporadically wake up and find yourself in strange situations, wondering how you got there. From the Shrimp shack to the dog show. One minute you’re playing rugby ball the next moment you’re being eaten by worms. And between the fading lights and the strange look on your friend’s face Murphy grabs your ears and asks you what you want from life.

Daniella Mason Premieres New Video With Refinery29, Lands Spotify’s New Music Friday
Daniella Mason thrives in the in-between. A Nashville-based singer-songwriter who’s penned hits for Nick Jonas and toured with the likes of Demi Lovato and DNCE, she’s no stranger to pop commerciality— her debut full-length record even dropped last October to some nice commercial buzz of her own, earning spots on Popjustice’s “Top Singles of 2017” list, V Magazine, and Billboard, to name a few. But it’s Mason’s left-of-center musicianship and distinct powerhouse vocals that afford her credit in tastemaker and alternative spaces, as well. And it’s within that spectrum that Mason unveils her latest musical project and newest single, “Human.”
