Singer/songwriter Lia Ices last record was 2011’s criminally underrated Grown Unknown. Since then she’s kept an almost impressively low profile, which seemed pretty normal for the artist who once reveled in her own general anonymity. But now she’s releasing a follow up, Ices, and with it

The funny part is they’re all revisited with this joyously sloppy performance that’s lovingly complimented with meticulously crafted pianos, synths, background vocals, and

Here is a track from Jagjaguwar’s latest signing, Foxygen. They’re a songwriting duo consisting of Sam France and Jonathan Rado. First track, first listen, it was love. It was love, guys! But I have to admit I’m sure that has a bit to do with how familiar
