Sep
DOWSING Asian Man Records, USA // Dog Knights, UK
“After the release of their second album, Dowsing’s membership changed almost entirely, leaving vocalist-guitarist Erik Czaja to start from scratch. The result of Czaja’s effort to rebuilt Dowsing is Okay – which sees the new lineup crystallize around his simple, affecting compositions. Gone are the subtle emo trappings of the band’s past: Okay favours power-pop that isn’t afraid to get a little loud, and Dowsing is all the better for it ” – STEREOGUM

RATBOYS Topshelf Records, USA
“Last summer’s AOID was a glowing debut full-length from Chicago’s Ratboys, who’ve grown over the past six years from the acoustic duo of Julia Steiner and Dave Sagan into a four-piece capable of some intense dynamic moves. The four call their music post-country, bringing the brightness and simplicity of country tunes up against some of the grit of garage rock.” – IMPOSE
