Jason Lytle (Grandaddy) Going for Adds
Just like Grandaddy‘s 2000 technological dystopian classic, The Sophtware Slump, Jason Lytle‘s recent solo record Dept. of Disappearance touches upon the lifelong theme of the struggle between modern technology and the small but essential “simplicities” in life. Long-time fans and first-time listeners alike will certainly appreciate Lytle‘s evocative and film-like album, which we present to […]
Yellow Red Sparks Going for Adds – Digital Servicing Only
The new EP by Yellow Red Sparks arrives a week before the band makes their CMJ Music Marathon debut.

Onuinu Consequence of Sound Album Review – Big Debut at CMJ
The debut from Onuinu‘s Dorian Duvall has everyone nodding along to his shimmering and submerged album. Mirror Gazer got college stations moving enough last week to debut at #51 at CMJ. Consequence of Sound called his full-length a “formidable reason to take disco-hop seriously”, referring to Duvall‘s self-described sub-genre. Taking elements of electronic, hip-hop, disco, […]

New Music from Jason Lytle (Grandaddy)
The title of former Grandaddy frontman Jason Lytle‘s latest solo effort, Dept. of Disappearance seems ironic, as he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, he’s headed in an exciting direction – a direction that sometimes feels like an elusive journey down a Montana road into a beautiful and spooky sunset, filled […]
