TOMTEN
http://
“This young Seattle band’s album is an impressive set of well-crafted indie-pop steeped in the music of ‘60s girl groups and British bands, with a variety of impeccably arranged songs featuring reverb guitars, organ, gorgeous harmonies, and catchy pop melodies.” – KEXP
“Goddamn. …Tomten seem to favor creating an atmosphere of reverence; it’s like they’ve written hymns. Not sacred hymns, but hushed pop hymns, slightly flecked with lysergic glints of radiance. Well, at least it feels that way. … It’s obvious they’re in the know about ’60s playing; they’re economical and reserved, but are not clouded by the contemporary aural misconceptions of the psychedelic ’60s. Their knowingness is then mated to open, crisp, contemporary production, giving them a strong ’80s paisley pop sound. It just all FITS.” – The Stranger
“With a supremely catchy, well-paced set that already sounds like a greatest hits collection, Tomten has the songcraft worthy of their chosen tradition.” – Seattle Weekly
BREAD & BUTTER
http://www.humprock.org/
Bread & Butter are a Seattle band obsessed with cramming their songs full of good fun, bad fun, rad sounds, and killer moves.
The theme? Go team. Each guitar part fits in with the drum fill fits in with the bass groove fits in with the vocals… You get it. All songs are recorded by the band in their underground facility.
The group consists of former members of the First Times, Wayfinders, The Vells, Broken Nobles and other killer, too-beautiful-to-survive bands.
