Fetch Tiger

An indie duo that originally formed in London, Fetch Tiger songs teem with ‘much melancholia’. Now based in Brooklyn, they’ve released two 2 EPs (both produced by TOLEDO, one mixed by Jay Som), and just recently released their debut album Walking to Camera in March 2024, catching the attention of respected lists like Spotify Fresh Finds Indie, David Dean Burkhart, BIRP!, and more. The new album introduces an indie-pop influenced aesthetic, stepping out from behind the anonymity of fictional characters common in their earlier releases, and opting for lyrics that feel tactile and weighed in the melancholia of their day-to-day experience. 

Cal in Red

Cal in Red is an indie-pop outfit that originated in 2019. Brothers Connor and Kendall Wright (Grand Rapids, MI) shared an affinity for vibrant synths, fuzzy guitars and both had a keen ear for melody. Their early singles drew the attention of B3SCI Records who released their 2021 EP “Cellular” and their 2023 EP “On The Dance Floor.” Since 2021, the brothers have fervently played over 60 live shows both locally and nationally. These have included festival sets, headline appearances, and opening slots for acts such as Bastille, The Crane Wives, and Karl Blau. 

On August 30th, 2024 Cal in Red released their debut LP titled “Low Low” with B3SCI Records. “Low Low” dabbles in a bit of freshwater surf-rock (the breezy “Frontside”), indie pop (“She Won’t Say,”) and makes a brief detour to the ’80s (the shimmering synth-dance of “1985”). You’ll hear The Shins’ frontman, James Mercer, lending his vocals on the heartsick, indie-twang anthem: Kitchen. At heart, these songs are melodic vignettes that feel as though they’ve been put through a dream-glow filter. 

Astrachan

 
Astrachan is the solo project and surname of curly-haired indie rock beefcake Ben Astrachan, a self-taught analog tapehead who conjures up his special blend of starry-eyed lofi folk rock in the candlelit haze of Puccini’s Studio (Astrachan’s basement bedroom/workspace) on Chicago’s northwest side. Astrachan is also the co-founder of Berta Bigtoe (with Austin Koenigstein) and Astro Heart (with Ryan Gebhardt), and a tireless accomplice to fellow travelers Smushie , No Lonesome (etc), brightening stages across Chicago with his golden voice, polytechnic abilities, and good-natured boyish charm. Forthcoming LP “Cleaner than Clean”, self-produced and recorded directly to tape in Puccini’s Studio, is a noisy upbeat rock-and-roll affair slated for release on Happen Twice in July. It figures to be a banger.
