Kate Pierson Talks to Paste Magazine – New Peak at CMJ
It is difficult to listen to the new album by Kate Pierson & not think about her work with The B-52s. Her “amazing brassy voice” has beamed over college / non-commercial airwaves for almost four decades. Musically though, Paste Magazine sees the debut release as a departure from the work she does with her iconic […]

Vetiver Going for Adds
The newest single from Vetiver‘s upcoming record Complete Strangers is going for adds now! “Loose Ends” is a perfect compliment to lead single “Current Carry”. While “Current Carry” was sunnier than previous Vetiver tracks, this latest tune rocks a little harder. Both tracks, however, remain tied to the freaky folk rock that Vetiver has become known […]
