We are SO HONORED and SO EXCITED to spread the word however we possibly can about this one: Star Anna and the Laughing Dogs' latest, "Alone In This Together", is out TODAY on the amazing Local 638 Records (run by the incredible Rachel Flotard, of Visqueen fame). Things have continued to get to be more and more bonkers for Star: she was just on the cover of Innocent Words, we just got word that we'll have an incredible new video for you to view in a few weeks, and she's gearing up to play PJ 20. Here's what folks are saying about "Alone In This Together":

"She sings from a place of beauty that takes me to a higher place.”--Mike McCready, Pearl Jam

Bright Archer's "Hidden Systems" out today!!

Early press:

"Bright Archer's dizzying new LP Hidden Systems harkens back to Mitchell's untouchable 1969-75 run (Clouds through The Hissing of Summer Lawns), but sans the vintage nostalgia of that fabled era. Kunin's earnest vocals and simple yet subtly elaborate song structure portray an artist at her creative peak." Portland Mercury

"Johanna creates vignettes from her piano and her beautifully trained breathy voice, all the more visceral for its seemingly simple construction." The Owl Mag

"There is a definite original quality in Kunin’s lyrics that is among the most alluring aspects of Hidden Systems, as she wields her ambiguous words with devastating effect." Stereo Subversion

"Trained in opera as a child, jazz in college, a current member of a number of bands around her hometown of Portland and finally taking her talents solo, Johanna Kunin has arrived breathy folk in tact." RCRD LBL

"Hidden Systems refuses easy, emotionally exploitative chord progressions for something a bit more ambiguous and challenging—a testament to both Kunin’s songwriting and Norwood’s studio prowess." Willamette Week

Catch the yvynyl premier of "Tussy" from Appetite!

"Californian oddball Teddy Briggs crafts quirky tunes that are part surrealist poetry and part vocal acid trip." Read the rest and catch the video at yvynyl!

Giant Robot chats extensively with Street Eaters! On tour now...

Martin Wong from Giant Robot sits down with Street Eaters to talk about their new album, Grace Slick and using a bike rack as a cop deterrent...

MW: Many duos bring in guest musicians, accompaniment, and so on, but you two seem to relish your mano-a-mano musical relationship. Were you tempted one iota to add extra voices, instruments, or other stuff?

MM: We actually thrive on the minimalist aspects of being a two-piece, but one of the extra CD-only tracks (“No Time”) was written as a three-piece vocal harmony, so we had our friend Alanna Paoli (from Songs For Moms) sing the third part.
