Melody Federer and Burch Bacharach release new song “Bridges”
“Melody wrote a poem that turned out to be “Bridges” and recited it for me. I took it word for word and put it to music. It really magically came together with little changes from the original poem. I loved it, and I set it. It’s the way I like to write, to a guidemark that creates a form within itself, how the words form. Not a word that had to be changed, and it is a gift to get something structured like that. When lyrics can seamlessly break into song, almost in the same “language,” the same believability.” – Burt Bacharach
The Gloomies share new single, “Sideways,” via Atwood Magazine & announce new LP
Atwood described the song as “A hazy and fuzzy reflection on feeling lost in your own life” and that “The song captures the depth of intense, muted emotions surrounding this notion of aimlessness, which can so often be as anxiety-provoking as its lyrics suggest.” ARE WE GETTING BETTER? is due out on March 6th, 2020.

Nicole Oberle’s “Skin” is out Today
Nicole Oberle is a prolific and enigmatic artist whose work in the fields of textural ambient music and lo-fi beat-oriented work unfolds to reveal layers of emotional transparency and honesty. Skin – Oberle’s first release for Whited Sepulchre Records – comes in as a wash of blackened drone, everything riding just a bit above the red, creating an overladen and disorienting rush. Even when Oberle opens up to incorporate birch-bare guitar lines, forlorn piano chords, disembodied vocal drones, fragments of poems and crushing beats, everything is saturated with a palpable sense of foreboding. There is a measurable heaviness imbuing every motion creating this record.
