New Impossible Object

Coupler

sugar sk*-*lls

Six tracks built from decade-old collaborations, analog synthesis experiments, and a first-ever vocal performance from Coupler's Ryan Norris, who spent years telling himself his voice wasn't his instrument, until he didn't. Strip away the familiar and you're left navigating by feel. These sounds simply weren't accessible any other way.

Little Brain

Bleary

The debut full-length album from Bleary. Eleven tracks of dense, harmony-drenched shoegaze built slowly across six years of demos, detours, and obsessive layering. Little Brain explores memory, loss, and belonging - a heart-heavy wall of sound.

Seeds for Cosmic Radio

Infinite Limb

An electronic journey embracing the textures and rhythms of the unseen universe - from the pulsing of cellular activity to the radio signals of our most distant voyager. Composed on hardware synthesizers, performed live, and threaded together by a field recording of ocean waves at night, Seeds for Cosmic Radio is an end-to-end experience evoking all points from the beauty of terra firma to the immersive unknowns of deep space.

Ruiner

Fetching Pails

The third transmission from Fetching Pails new incarnation comprised of songwriter Jill Townsend, guitarist Dillon Smith and drummer Andrew Core. “Ruiner” unfurls from a minimal and withdrawn composition to an absolute avalanche of catharsis. Townsend’s vocals transcend through multiple forms as layers of instrumentation builds and releases.

i lost my fkn mind / If I Had Known

phiz

phiz is Tristen + Cortney Tidwell

In a city teeming with overly polished productions and carefully curated collaborations, Phiz emerged from something far more precious: genuine friendship and spontaneous creation. Nashville artists Cortney Tidwell and Tristen Gaspadarek have been in each other’s orbits for years, often spending time surrounded by family, friends and music. They found musical chemistry during informal jam sessions where the only rule was to keep it simple — "Two chords!" became their rallying cry as they traded instruments and explored sonic spaces.

The project, which Tristen dubbed "attic jams and friendship", captures the rare magic of two accomplished musicians creating purely for creation's sake. Their improvisational sessions yielded a treasure trove of material, much of it preserved in unfinished bootleg recordings and voice memos. These two tracks, unearthed from an ancient harddrive, maintain the raw energy of their origin — snapshots of artistic spontaneity. They are simple but they are filled with real pathos, talent and fundamental joy of being together.

While Phiz remains a moment in time rather than an ongoing project, these recordings stand as testament to the power of unplanned creativity and the musical possibilities that emerge when friendship leads the way.
