We're proud to present the second Dream Mix, this time curated by Chasms. Chasms have a new lp, "Mirage", out on Felte on February 22 and you can preorder the LP, CD, DL & CS here. Next show is Friday January 11 at San Diego's Whistle Stop with O/X and presented by DREAM. Purchase tickets here. Listen to the new mix below.

We are proud to present the debut release by The Victoriana. “Fleetingly, But Completely” is a cassette and digital release. The cassette is limited to 100 copies, each with a download card. Digitally, it’s available on all platforms. You can purchase the cassette here.  

The Victoriana is the musical crafting of Riverside, CA local Derek Page. Having previously only released select tracks on various media over the past 5 years, "Fleetingly, but Completely" is The Victoriana's first legitimate release. It is a fragrant love-letter to the ephemeral: twirling, evaporating experiences of blue torment & glittering joy, their charms endowed and ever-changing with their questionable impermanence. Sparkling with ornaments of guitar & swooning fretless basses, "Fleetingly, but Completely" unfurls a sensuous, contemporary "gothic romance" free of the doldrums traditionally associated with "gothic" music.

Track listing: 

 1 Plumes Expiring 2 Shatter'd Silk 3 Dresden Delicate 4 Of You 5 Mint 6 The Arrangement 7 An Angel, Ephemeral 8 Patina 9 Then Softness 10 Twirling Like a Ribbon

Listen to “The Thrashing Whip

Self-produced and recorded over a period of two years, the new full-length album from California duo Some Ember is the culmination of a range of experience for these two wanderers. Some Ember is rich with meaning, sonic creativity, and emotional energy, a striking evolution from previous releases Hotel of Lost Light and Asleep in the Ice Palace. Here, cold synthesizers and harsh industrial beats dominate the A-side, while swirling drone and organic percussion characterize the unique second half. The exceptional voices of Dylan Travis and Nina Chase balance the record, their melodies anchoring things firmly in the pop realm.  Thematically, Some Ember explores the emotional contours of the perilous, exhilarating era in which it resides: channeling the free, open skies of California; cataloging the oppressive grip of technological obsession; the deep contradictions inherent in life under the shadow of a crumbling post-colonial empire.

Many years dreamt, one cold winter realized, Haunted Hearts is Dee Dee Penny (Dum Dum Girls) and Brandon Welchez (Crocodiles). It is not the melding of two bands; it is a true collaboration.

The duo’s first full-length album, entitled Initiation, was written in the winter of 2012, holed up in their apartment, surrounded by a lot of books, Motown and krautrock. It was recorded by Jon Greene at Electric Orange Studios in San Diego, mixed by Jorge Elbrecht (Ariel Pink / Violens) at Static Recording in Brooklyn, and mastered by Joe La Porta at Sterling Sound in New York City.
