Eliza Niemi ()

For fans of:

— BIO

Toronto-based artist Eliza Niemi today announced her second album, Progress Bakery, will be released March 21st, 2024 via Tin Angel Records. She also shared the album’s tender, delightfully existential lead single “Do U FM” alongside a self-directed video. “There’s a park where I grew up in Toronto that has this giant boulder in it. There’s this smooth platform on one side at the top of the rock that is cool to the touch and perfect to sit on. I used to climb up there and eat popsicles,” says Niemi of the song’s inspiration. “Years ago, the city underwent a big park revitalization project where they replaced all the wooden jungle gyms with metal and plastic ones. During this process they also moved the gigantic boulder to the other side of the park. I found this very funny and odd. It must have been so hard to do. I learned to ride a bike in that park. The feeling I get when I go there now reminds me of the smell of band class in elementary school–of spit and metal.”

The follow-up to her 2022 debut LP Staying Mellow Blows–which was longlisted for the Polaris Music Prize and earned praise and support from Exclaim!, Post-Trash, and more–Progress Bakery was recorded with Louie Short, who co-produced the album along with Niemi, Jeremy Ray and Lukas Cheung (Mother Tongues). In addition to her own work as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist (primarily cello, as well as keys, bass, and guitar), Niemi enlisted help throughout Progress Bakery from her local community, including: drums by Evan Cartwright (Cola, Jennifer Castle, Andy Shauf); vocals by Dorothea Paas (U.S. Girls, Fucked Up); keys by Kenny Boothby (Little Kid); and percussion by Ed Squires (U.S. Girls), among others. Progress Bakery is now available for pre-order HERE. Additionally, Neimi’s own Vain Mina Records will release a limited edition cassette of the album in Canada on March 21st.

Niemi’s music is at once delicate and playful, with melodies precisely cast like stones across clear water, touching down only briefly with uncommon grace. She slip-slides through words, sounds, and images, delighting in surprise. “A few years ago I sublet an apartment during a pretty heavy time in my life, and right down the street was a spot called Progress Bakery,” she explains. “I would walk by it every day on my way to work, often get a coffee, and chew on its name all morning. I thought it was quite funny and weirdly fitting for where I was at in my life. Their sign out front is half fallen off (it says ‘gress bakery’) and their espresso is amazing–it’s like jet fuel. It embodies many juxtapositions and overall has a really warm and heartening feel.”

Across the LP, she knows to leave some questions alone and to instead let lyrical ambiguity and tension be the proof. Niemi teases out truth and meaning by asking questions. She poses two seemingly unrelated ones on standout “Do U FM,” as a rising guitar melody spiders up a scale: “What happens when your people die? Why’d they move the rock to the other side of Ulster Park?” When she admits “but I don’t know how to tell if I’m feeling it or not,” the thought surfaces through the text and is reiterated throughout the LP.

“I wanted to make an album like the bakery’s broken sign–funny, strange, warm, melancholic and hopeful, that embodied this feeling of making steady yet non-linear progress. I chose to show my process more than in my previous releases–to zoom in on little moments in my thinking about and writing of the album. Sometimes you have to dissect something to be able to understand or move through it,” she explains. Every transition, known or unknown, carries the weight of new meaning. There is a trick you can use to tell if a dough is glutinous enough: stretch it out as thin as you can without breaking it, and hold it up to the light. If you can see through it, even if it renders the world murky and uncertain, leave it alone. This is something Eliza seems to know intuitively: work gently, ask questions, and don’t always expect answers. And when you can, take a glimpse at something new, and then leave it alone.

Popular Music ()

For fans of:

Popular Music is the Melbourne-based cinematic duo of Zac Pennington (née Parenthetical Girls, Xiu Xiu) and composer Prudence Rees-Lee. The name is literal.
Their debut LP is Minor Works — a widescreen record written for the end of time, and the first Pennington-penned album in a decade. Recorded across three continents, Minor Works’ ambitious productions were pieced together in sessions between Los Angeles, Melbourne, Moscow and New York — with percussion by Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier, contributions from celebrated composer Jherek Bischoff (Angel Olsen, Xiu Xiu, David Byrne), plus a 17-piece Russian chamber orchestra conducted over Zoom (no, really).

Live, Popular Music strips back to electro-pop efficiency — deploying a small arsenal of analog synthesizers for maximum melodramatic effect.

Sloe Paul ()

For fans of:

Between the waking world and the realm of dreams, Sloe Paul weaves their music—softly spun, yet deeply resonant. A melange of psych-folk experimental singer/songwriter that’s as catchy as it is unconventional. Warm, narrative melodies hint at pop music from decades past, but constantly twirl into a very distinctive sound.
Live, Sloe Paul isn’t trying to knock you over. Instead, they pull you in with songs that take their time, unfolding gently. After some time off the road and the release of a double single last year, they’re back for 2025 with a new set of songs that have been patiently waiting to be heard.
The lineup includes Marius Schwingel (bass), Tim Bohner (drums), Marcus Schreiter (guitar), Marius Moses Alsleben (synths, guitar, vocals), Paul Abbrecht (piano, vocals).

Jeffrey Lewis ()

For fans of:

— BIO
The mind-spinning indie-rock/folk/art of Jeffrey Lewis & The Voltage developed when songwriter and comic book artist Jeffrey Lewis began recording homemade cassettes in New York City in 1998; his critically acclaimed, unusual and word-dense songs lead to Jeffrey signing to Rough Trade Records in 2001 (record label of The Smiths, The Strokes, etc.), and the project evolved into a live touring cult sensation around the world. Creating a brilliant style of scuzzy urban indie-rock-folk, like a 21st Century mash-up of Sonic Youth, Pete Seeger and R. Crumb, Jeffrey’s band has played countless gigs all over the world, including playing as the opening act for icons like the Mountain Goats, Daniel Johnston, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, Dinosaur Jr, The Fall, Dr. Dog, Pulp, Roky Erickson, The Vaselines, and more.

“The best lyricist working in the US today.” – Jarvis Cocker (Pulp)

Meagre Martin ()

For fans of:

Berlin-based songwriter-turned-trio Meagre Martin was founded in the summer of 2021 by African-American musician and songwriter Sarah Martin (guitar, she/her). The band quickly expanded with the addition of Federico “Freddy” Corazzini (drums, he/him) and Max Hirtz-Wolf (bass, he/him). Blending elements of lo-fi and new Americana, Meagre Martin is a project rooted in healing, weaving lyricism that redefines nostalgia and channels the transformative power of grief. Their debut album, Gut Punch (released November 2023 via Mansions and Millions), draws inspiration from shoegaze, ’90s indie, and what the band refers to it as “faux country.” The result is a sound that juxtaposes ethereal, light soundscapes with lyrics of raw vulnerability and emotional depth. After performing at 55 festivals and shows worldwide this year—including Reeperbahn Festival, Pop Montreal, and Pitchfork London—the band is gearing up to release a new EP in February 2025 and will headline their biggest show yet in Berlin.

Lawn Chair (Indie Punk)

For fans of: Snooper, Wombo, DEVO

For three years LAWN CHAIR has been an integral part of the German indie scene. The band has released two EPs in collaboration with producers Olaf Opal (The Notwist) and Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and played countless gigs all over Germany. A first tour in England, rousing support shows for Sleaford Mods, Primal Scream, Getdown Services and gigs at festivals such as Reeperbahn Festival and Fusion were just the latest milestones of the ambitious band.

With their long-awaited debut album YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT!, they’ll be taking over clubs and festivals in 2025 with their energetic live performances.
YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! explores life in late capitalism, caught in the web of smartphone addiction and toxic masculinity, the desire for success and the search for inner peace—always shadowed by the inescapable imprints of one’s origins.
Led by singer and Seattle native Claudia Schlutius, the band wraps all of this into a captivating blend of post-punk echoes, uncompromising guitar riffs, pop-driven basslines, and pulsating synthesizers—expertly crafted by producer Olaf Opal. Drawing inspiration from genre-defining bands like DEVO, Broadcast, and Beck, YOU WANT IT! YOU GOT IT! is a compelling exploration of the contradictions of modern life.

Leslie Graves and Toby Goodshank (folk/anti-folk)

For fans of: Moldy Peaches, Jeffrey Lewis, Father John Misty

Toby Goodshank (The Moldy Peaches, The Pizza Underground) of the OG New York Antifolk scene, is known for his precise and acrobatic vocals over nuanced acoustic guitar in songs that have been described as “a zesty thumb of the nose at domesticated bullshit.” (Myles Manley)

Leslie Graves (GOLD, Endless Arrows) is a performing songwriter and recording artist who takes folk subgenres into evocative and intriguing directions, including “sounding like something you could hear Donna Hayward dancing to at the Bang Bang Bar.” (Ronan Conroy, “Hidden In the Days” album review) Her voice has been described as “darkwave-meets-folk” with comparisons to Lana Del Rey, Cat Powers, Mazzy Star and Julee Cruise.

Together with engineer and producer Jake Nicoll of The Burning Hell, Toby and Leslie wrote and recorded “Between Worlds” in a way that was more “like chiseling away at a stone to reveal the sculpture underneath,” describes Graves. “I like when songs come like that – when it feels that they are teaching us as they are revealed.”
