Katy Pinke’s songs are self-examinations—cerebral and unsparing, but reaching toward a more promising future. The Manhattan-based singer-songwriter, painter and actor mixes the precise and wry delivery of The Roches and Connie Converse with the idiosyncratic songforms of her espoused hero Bill Callahan.

Pinke is currently on tour, celebrating the release of her self-titled debut album. It is a work which strips Pinke's art down to its absolute essence. At the home studio of Phil Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Cass McCombs), she recorded her vocals and minimal guitar accompaniments live with drummer Jeremy Gustin in front of an audience of a few friends. The idea was to capture the energy of Pinke’s live shows—storied events in the NYC indie rock scene. (Artists she has shared the stage with include Laura Veirs, Jolie Holland, TV On the Radio’s Kyp Malone, and Indigo Sparke.)

Dan Soto's Natural Fool is his newest venture into the world of revisionist rock & roll. Expressing himself again. Whenever, wherever and however. For the first time he's all on his lonesome romanticizing his melancholic solitude. Don't worry though.

Sallow Friend is a band from New Haven, Connecticut. They are hayden on guitar and luke on drums. Their music has been described as “angular”, “introspective”, “off-kilter”, “harsh”, “complex”, “howling”, “delightful”, “energetic”, “meditative”, “wistful”, “unpredictable”, “good.”
