Artist Home Premiere: “Please Be Nice (to Me)” by Forest Ray
Seattle band Forest Ray kicks up some serious dust on “Please Be Nice (to Me),” the second single from their forthcoming full-length, Windf**ker, and Artist Home is damned proud to be premiering it here. If you want to put a fine enough point on it, Forest Ray’s often rootsy, very handmade sound could be dubbed…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “All Your Mountains” by Long Dark Moon
It’s a busy week for Long Dark Moon. The project, spearheaded by singer/guitarist/songwriter Aaron Starkey of Seattle rock band Gibraltar, debuts their video for “All Your Mountains,” the first single off of their forthcoming full-length.

Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Feelings Part 2,” by Surrealized
Seattle trio Surrealized have been at it for over a decade now, mining a fertile combination of the synthetic and the organic with their sound. And judging from the grooves housed on their new album Density, they’re hitting the dance floor harder and hookier than ever before. “Animal,” the first track from Density, dropped in…
Read MoreWall of Ears Take a Concise, Strange Journey on It Is
Hello Beautiful Nothing, the sophomore effort from Seattle band Wall of Ears, got a lot of play (and inclusion in our list of 10 Best PNW albums of 2017) in this neck of the woods. Simply put, it was psychedelic pop that combined a beguiling atmosphere of sensory exploration with concise pop smarts, to near…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Loser” by Killer Workout
I am genetically predisposed to appreciate any band that names itself after a trashy ‘80s horror movie. Combine that with a snotty, irresistible three-minute blast of a song, and a video for that song comprised entirely of clips from Plan 9 from Outer Space, and you can color me smitten. You can also color Artist…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Cosmic Fruit” by Low Hums
If I’da heard Zzyxz, the latest full-length from local psych-rock vets Low Hums, closer to its November 2019 release, it might well have found its way into my PNW 2019 Top Ten. It’s that good. Any fan of forward-thinking psychedelic rock will find myriad itches scratched by Zzyxz, big-time. Garage-pop infectiousness (the gloriously heavy and…
Read MoreKing Youngblood Reigns with Art & Activism: Gypsy Temple’s Cameron Lavi-Jones, Interviewed
Interview by Odawni AJ Palmer Good things come to those who persist and work hard, and that’s absolutely the case with Seattle alt-rock band Gypsy Temple’s debut album, King Youngblood. Frontman Cameron Lavi-Jones has spent the last ten years working on the album, an exceptional display of persistence considering he’s just 20 years old. The…
Read MoreArtist Home Premiere: “Saturn’s Throne,” by Hel Mary
Rachel Angerman, lead singer of Seattle band Hel Mary, possesses one of this town’s most distinctive voices. It resides somewhere between a siren’s song and a low gothic purr, and she can deploy it in the service of narcotic allure, or dark malevolence, with equal effectiveness. Faint echoes of other voices thread through her dusky…
