0035: Daniel Ruiz – Saturn’s Rings Got Replaced by an Ad (2019)

Today, on September 10th, 2019, Daniel Ruiz released Saturn’s Rings Got Replaced by an Ad on the independent music label, Santa Rosa Records.

The album is a cryptic slow dance through the psychedelic seas of broken hearts and unsung lullabies. It’s an evolution of sound that very well could be approaching the sonic apex.

Now sit back, burn one down, and soak in the heavy vibrations from the poet of despair, Daniel Ruiz. You’ll be sad if you don’t.

The EP will soon be available on cassette, and vinyl in the near future. Please stay tuned my friends. And don’t forget to give Ruiz a follow on Spotify.

0034: Henry Raker – Holy Shapes (2019)

On August 30th, 2019, Henry Raker released ‘Holy Shapes’ on the independent label, Santa Rosa Records.

The album is a conscious stream of semi-freeform alternative jazz packaged in a flowing five part suite that seems to bleed the artistic brilliance of a young, and emerging experimental artist.

The lyrics seemingly capture those sort of spiritual and unexplainable experiences we all seem to share, yet tend to forget. So, when you’re having your next existential meltdown, simply set aside your anxiety and turn on some Henry Raker.

‘Holy Shapes’ is now streaming on all major platforms, and vinyl records and cassettes are also on the horizon. Be sure to keep up with Raker on Instagram. And give him a follow on Spotify!

0033: Henry Raker – If You Think (2019)

Friday, July 19th, Henry Raker released the wistful single “If You Think” on the independent label — Santa Rosa Records.

The enigmatic track emits a certain emotion of cool jazz, imminent loneliness, and is infused with an experimental brilliance that would make even the great John Coltrane blush. It’s quite simply sublime.

Henry wrote and produced the track, Brendan Wright mixed and mastered it,  Paul Goldfinger played bass on it, and Mike Milano held down the drums.

A new album is on the horizon — so please stay tuned my friends. More is soon to come.
