Tacoma band Goldfinch amassed a sizable regional following with a thoughtful and affecting take on roots music. Thankfully, despite the band being no more, former Goldfinch members Grace Hope and Aaron Stevens have leapt back into music-making in a big way with their new project, exdreams. And Artist Home is proud to premiere the band’s first…
Viva Draconia, the latest album from Tomten, begins with the homey whirr of (I think) an accordion, wheezing out a melody amidst the effortful, semi-audible strikes of human fingers on keys and buttons as chords change. That sound’s not just an evocative 20-some seconds of bittersweetness. It’s a reminder of the handmade quality that lay…
Vaudeville Etiquette front woman Tayler Lynn will surprise you. Whether emerging from a bathtub in a music video or grabbing your attention with her powerful vocals, the Michigan-born singer demands attention. This is exemplified most recently on the band’s newest video for their pulsing track, “Ontario,” which we’re happy to premiere today. The Seattle-based…
Summer’s almost gone. And while that obscene yellow ball of gaseous flame in the sky doesn’t feel like slinking away just yet (here in Seattle, at least), it doesn’t have a habit of sticking around much past the first week of September. That lends some urgency to these recommendations, as all of them have made…
The Seattle band, Lyle, has a new single out. Wait, who is Lyle? Great question. The band’s first show will be their first single release party on Oct. 12th at the Columbia City Theater. Why should you go? In short: Lyle is a seven-piece art-rock band with a sound that’s difficult to describe and a giant, collective…
Summer really is high time for Breaks and Swells. The Seattle band’s been bringing the breezy grooves since 2013, crafting jazz-tinged, airy soul just made for these dog days. On the face of it, “We Will Not Despair,” the fab title track from the band’s newest full-length, fits neatly into the playful sonic vibe that’s…
If you’re ever lucky enough to catch a set during which Seattle drummer Conrad Real is behind the kit, just watch him for a minute. His arms subtly move as if there are four of them. His fingers spin the drumsticks seemingly between each snare and cymbal strike. And his feet crack the bass drums…

The Seattle powerhouse that is General Mojo’s plays trippy, psychedelic music that floats, sits, examines and is taken by the breeze again. Co-fronted by Heather Thomas, a standout vocalist and one of the city’s best drummers, General Mojo’s have set their sights on a July 6th EP release with Vaudeville Etiquette at the Southgate Roller…
Conventional wisdom states that you shouldn’t write a review about a concert more than a week after you’ve seen it. I respectfully submit a formal proposal to screw that noise. A few weekends ago, I saw two childhood heroes of mine—musicians whose work is practically part of my DNA—play live. Something that significant is worth…
You might not have heard of the Seattle five-piece, Kilcid Band, but you’re likely going to start hearing more and more from the talented group. And today, we’re happy to premiere their new music video the group made for their single, “The Good Get Gone,” an earworm of a track featuring sticky synths and falsetto…
