BEDROOM SHRINE - NO DEJA VU

"No Dejà Vu". A feeling? An anti-feeling? A culmination of words and, yes, feelings. Bedroom Shrine cannot be summed up by just one feeling. No, it is a conglomeration of indie-rock, blues, americana, and gut-felt passion. "No Djà Vu" is the first offering from Bedroom Shrine. Fronted by Johnnie Cluney (famed illustrator of over 3,000 Daytrotter.com images), Bedroom Shrine began when Cluney and drummer Dennis Hockaday left their former project, Mondo Drag. Together with Bambi Suits (rhythm guitar) and Aiden Landman (bass) they have assembled a lonesome, rock and roll, lo-fi jewel. These are gritty songs of love, truth, and revenge, written during a time of great loss by Johnnie Cluney.

CHRASH - THINGS MY FRIENDS SAY

From Davenport, Iowa, comes a band as fluid and strange as its name: Chrash. Accessible and catchy pop-rock, Chrash entices the listener to want more, ever more. Their quirky, self-described "phantom rock" (a genre they lay claim to creating) has had a fan base for many years, as they played alongside such talents as The Meat Puppets, Cracker, The Donkeys, Corey Chisel, Caroline Scott and the Good Night Sleeps, and The Daredevil Christopher Wright.

DAWN, THE - WOOLY

For over a decade The Dawn has been conjuring up magical, soulful live performances with amazing grooves and stellar improvisations. On The Dawn's new endeavor they've captured their explosive live performances in the studio. "Wooly", the new album from The Dawn not only draws from their past influences like The Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers, but has some of the pop sensibilities of Ryan Adams, quirkiness of NRBQ and the soulful vibe of 60's to retro R&B. "Wooly" has the feel and sound of a 1970's jam band classic and a lot of that is due to the freedom they gave producer Pat Stolley (Co-founder of Daytrotter.com) in the studio. The Dawn have been making the jam band fest circuit in the past few years and always getting the invite back, including Summer Camp, Phases of the Moon and their own festival, "Dawn and On", which draws over 1,000 people each year.

FRANK, DEVIN - THE VANISHING BLUES

Mixing psych sounds with good, old-fashioned, straight-on pop, Frank captures the listener with his Donovan-esque magic. Instruments play a big role - and not just guitar, bass, and drums. Bongos, autoharp, tambourine, and flute all have their big moments, and as you listen you are carried away on the wings of its ethereal psych-folk sensibilities. As you drink in Frank's special blend of musical wonder, you feel his influences: from Kevin Ayers and Mayo Thomson, to Scott Walker, Bob Dylan, and Cass McCombs/solo Paul McCartney. Frank, late of The Poison Control Center, Mantis Pincers, FLiight, Jowlz, and Devin Frank's Vanishing Blues Band, wrote these songs with the intent of a solo release. He describes them as part-60's folkrock, part early singer-songwriter, part 90's lo-fi (or mid-fi) indie rock. As a member of The Poison Control Center, he toured/played shows with Pavement, Apples in Stereo, The Mountain Goats, Of Montreal, Elf Power, Cursive, and Calvin Johnson, among others.

Kalispell is a moniker for Shane Leonard. Shane is the percussionist for the band Field Report and currently touring with The Stray Birds. "Windfall reminds me of those Wilco ballads that amount to an epic journey into the center of Jeff Tweedy's drowsy half-consciousness... yet Leonard's tenor has a distinct Midwestern drawl of its own... A gorgeous arrangement." - Stereogum

SUNDE, J.E. - NOW I FEEL ADORED

J.E. Sunde's sophomore LP, "Now I Feel Adored", is the house built on the foundation of his first LP, "Shapes that Kiss the Lips of God". This number two LP strips away the spinning complexity and peers through a clearer, but darker lens. The signature detailed weavings of melody are present, but the real feature here is in the bass guitar and vocal. Referred to as a, "bass forward" effort by Sunde himself and played by Andrew Thoreen of Har-Di-Har fame. The tracks on this LP flow from the start, a duet with Monica Martin (of Phox) on the Irish folk-type tune, "I Will Smile When I Think of You". The essence of a kind of full minimalism and richness starts there and carries through to the end. RIYL: Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake.

SUNDE, J.E. - SHAPES THAT KISS THE LIPS OF GOD

With "Shapes That Kiss the Lips of God", J.E. Sunde has channeled his songwriting into a beautiful, exploratory album. It will blow you away. Taking his cues from influences like Leonard Cohen and Nina Simone, he puts his own spin on storytelling from the first song, "Mother Fury, Mother Cry", to the last. In between, Sunde (frontman for The Daredevil Christopher Wright) draws you in to his childhood in Wisconsin, his growth as a person, and his uncanny sense of mood.
