New Bums
Psych-folk duo and new collaborative project New Bums consist of Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) and Donovan Quinn (The Skygreen Leopards). Both prominent names in what's sometimes referred to as the "New Weird America" movement of the early 2000s and now just good friends, Donovan and Ben are currently sharing songwriting and performing duties for their new project.
They are getting ready to release a full album of material via Drag City the end of Feb. but so far they have only released a single on 7" vinyl of "The Killers and Me"

CASE STUDIES
On the stunning new album This Is Another Life, Case Studies’ mainman Jesse Lortz shows a masterful understanding of how shadow and light can’t exist without one another, whether it’s in stark contrasts in tone or subtle gradations of mood. Fittingly, Lortz describes This Is Another Life as his “gray” album, as his piercing singer-songwriter compositions move out of the bleaker, more serious tones that shaped Case Studies’ debut, The World Is Just a Shape to Fill the Night. As Associate Music Editor Matthew Fiander wrote of This Is Another Life, “In these dust-coated yet shimmering songs, Lortz gives us that dark, but it’s his ability to reach for the tiny bits of light, the end of that darkness, that makes This Is Another Life special, and Case Studies a surprising and wide-open project from a great songwriter.”
