The guitar-driven four-piece channels early Talking Heads, Television and the NYC protopunk scene - they’re a great, edgy band with a smart lyrical sensibility. Four guys who are as likely to mention ’70s electronic NYC duo Suicide as artists on the early SST catalog (Husker Du, Minutemen), HUNDRED VISIONS was recently signed by Figure Eight Management (Deer Tick, Wye Oak). They just released their debut EP, Last Cab from Tunis, both digitally and on vinyl.

Duality is also one of the driving forces in Warm Ghost’s amazing debut album on Partisan Records, Narrows. On the surface, that means every pop element (the comet-like chords of “G.T.W.S.,” the climactic, synth-chased choruses of “Myths On Rotting Ships”) is offset by an experimental one - from flourishes of field recordings to splintered blocks of beats and samples that suggest a life of listening to Aphex Twin, Autechre and fringe icons like Fennesz, Cluster and Chris & Cosey. Check out their track “G.T.W.S.” here: http://stereogum.com/773482/warm-ghost-g-t-w-s/mp3s/ .
Press for Warm Ghost:
“Narrows is extremely lush and pulsing. It’s imbued with a quality that makes it sound like latter-day David Bowie playing videogames with the current class of indie electronic artists.” - WIRED.
“Chillwave auteur Warm Ghost’s “I Will Return” materializes into fuzzy Microkorg synths and overdriven drum sounds.” - NPR’s “World Cafe the Next 20.”

Having just gotten off an East Coast run with Wild Beasts, BOBBY will be joining Little Scream for a West Coast run in November. BOBBY have garnered praise for their refreshingly unique eponymous debut, released this summer through Partisan Records. The album caught the ear of NPR, who selected BOBBY for their “First Listen” series, noting the album’s air of “calm chaos.” Pitchfork Media commented on the band’s “intriguing marriage of familiar sounds in new setting.” The band themselves describe their musical confluence as ” a swollen lump of blooming, techno-color spores cast adrift on a warm bed of foam.” And yes, that’s exactly what it sounds like. Check out their track “Sore Spores” here: http://pitchfork.com/forkcast/15471-sore-spores/.
