New Tunes: Slothbear
Many months ago I wrote about Slothbear and their lo-fi recordings that were done on a broken 4-track recorder. Well it appears the band have tightened things up over the ensuing months and gone and gotten themselves some more fi for their latest batch of recordings. The recently released ...

Slumberland Turns 20!...Q+A with Crystal Stilts
Crystal Stilts started as a band the same year that Slumberland Records got back up and running after a couple of years off. It makes sense that their paths would cross since the sounds of both seem to run parallel to each other. In 2008 they made it happen with Slumberland Records ...
