Seattle Weekly salivates for last week's K Records Zip-Pak!

"Zen Kids is an example of what K Recs does best: take a great but possibly weird band and spin that music into indie gold. As a song, "Zen Kids" is a controlled mess of garage guitars and vocal harmonies; there are shades of MGMT's pop appeal in this song, but the lyrics are dark, strange, and about death. For the full effect of the song's strangeness, Selector Dub Narcotic (that's producer Calvin Johnson) completely remixes the song into a trance-y composition, heavy on echoes. (That remix will be also available on the vinyl 7-inch.) Add in the Zip-Pak subscriber-only add-ons--a video and two songs, one of which is wholly instrumental--and Zen Kids that will appeal to both pop sensibilities and the taste for experimental music. As a Zip-Pak release, City Center epitomizes the purpose of the singles club: get people listening to these off-the-beaten-path bands and turn at least one new subscriber (me) into a fan."

Seattle Weekly has a wonderful write up on Finn Riggins and the Idaho scene!

"Being in a place where there's not a lot of music industry drives an art-for-art's-sake or music-for-music's-sake type of attitude about it that definitely plays an underlying role in the scene here," said keyboardist and vocalist Eric Gilbert. "We really like living in Idaho, and we weren't convinced we had to leave in order to make it in the music business."
