Living Hour announces "Softer Faces" for March 1, 2019, shares single 'Bottom Step'

We are excited to announce Canadian band Living Hour will release its sophomore LP, Softer Faces, on March 1st with us! You can preorder the limited edition "galaxy" vinyl now, and it will magically arrive at your door by the release date. Today, you can also stream lead single "Bottom Step," a hazy, hypnotic track with a wistful vibe.

A follow-up to their highly-praised self-titled debut, Softer Faces features the haunting, etherial vocals of lead singer Sam Sarty accompanied by lush, expansive instrumentation.

Based in Winnipeg, Living Hour has been expanding since their humble basement beginnings in 2015. Now a quintet, Softer Faces finds the band pairing emotive vocals and intricate harmonies with dreamy washes of guitar, bass, keys, and horns, for a sound that's intimate, honest, and vulnerable. The album was produced by Kurt Feldman (The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Chairlift, DIIV, Dum Dum Girls) in Living Hour’s hometown and mixed by Jarvis Taveniere (Real Estate, Woods, Blouse, Widowspeak) at Thump Studios in Brooklyn. You can read more about Living Hour here.

Wooing announces limited edition 7", stream "Could Have Been" today

We are so excited to announce a new 7" & digital singles from NY trio Wooing. "Could Have Been" and "In Her Head" are the first two Wooing songs that were written collaboratively by all three members: multi-instrumentalist and lead singer Rachel Trachtenberg, guitarist JR Thomason, and drummer Rosie Slater.

Today, the band shares a video for "Could Have Been," a song that examines the disappointment of shallow friendships and the need to move on from them. With a hazy, dream-like quality the video matches the song's swirling, psych-tinged vibe.
