The second LP from People Like You is a fusion of jazz musicianship, emo spirit, and indie-pop tunefulness. Itâs a mix so coherent that even the ugly parts are beautiful in their precision.

Listened to the new album and loved it! Wanted to ask if you guys had any personal favorites that guys just loved making/playing?
Thanks so much for taking the time to listen! For me personally, Eulita Terrace was really cool to write because it was such a collaborative effort. I brought in a half written song which ended up being in the same key as an interlude Chris had written. That interlude is now the intro and together, we developed the tune via many edits. Hackensack and Sleeptalk are great to play because of the energy. Theyâre definitely challenging and itâs kind of like a test to see how in tune you can be with everyone else to stay together.-Michi
We are incredibly excited to share that we will be working with People Like You on their upcoming album âVerseâ! Hailing from Boston, this band is one we have known and admired for a while â each member adding their own style to contribute to the bandâs unique fusion of genres.
âVerseâ will be available on CD, cassette, vinyl & digitally July 28! Hereâs a sneak peek video.Â
Very excited to announce that our next record, âVERSE,â will be released by @topshelfrecords!! Check out this teaser made by Matthew Hamer!Â

H A U N T E R & Eskimeaux // 2016 Cassette Subscription Series
Happy to announce the conclusion of our 2016 cassette subscription series with H A U N T E Râs STARTER /Â HAUNTERÂ and Eskimeauxâs Year of the Rabbit!
For those unfamiliar, H A U N T E R (fka You Always Knew Me Last Week) is the sample-based electroacoustic music project of drummer/musician Sander Bryce (formerly of I Kill Giants). Fun fact: Sander was one of the first interns ever at Topshelf and we both had no idea what we were doing!
The release of this cassette consists of two separate EPs STARTER, which Bryce initially introduced via Bandcamp in September as âthe âstarterâ to a big mealâ and HAUNTER which Bryce describes as:
Haunter is the pain and sorrow of the past, present, and future. It is a tragedy of the human experience. We are either the haunter, the haunted, or sometimes both. Pain can be an endless cycle. This is my attempt at ending the cycle and starting over. I hope these songs are the only thing that will haunt the listener. EnjoyâŚ
Eskimeauxâs Gabby Smith has quickly become one of our favorite songwriters. Her 2015 LP O.K. was a monumental album of beat-driven and poetic bedroom pop that blissfully soars and swells on nearly every track.
Year of the Rabbit (originally released on CD, vinyl and digitally via Double Double Whammy earlier this year) is a collection of songs recorded live by Smith and friends, Emily Sprague and Felix Walworth. The record is the first to showcase the sound of Eskimeauxâs live band as its primary sonic touchstone, replacing the highly produced and overdubbed sound of Smithâs earlier records with a more immediate, naturally produced sound.
Pre-orders for both releases are available now and you can now peruse both the entire monthly series and the artists that comprise it.

I am very hyped on the potential of this project. Sander Bryce is a musical master.
The Trouble With Girls
by Paige Chaplin
I will never be someoneâs favorite band because I am a woman. I am only one. I try not to let this break my heart.
Two months ago, I played an excellent show. In an ideal world, this would be the last sentence to this post. In an ideal world, I would walk away from an excellent show feeling satisfied, good enough, accomplished, but I donâtânot always.
I have been the opener for almost every show Iâve ever played, since I first started playing shows in 2007. I never used to question this, I was mostly just grateful to be playing at all. But as I got older and more experienced, I started asking myself: Why? The answer: Because somebody somewhere decided that âstandard show protocolâ means having the solo singer-songwriter open every show. Because most of the time, the other acts on the bill consist of louder acts. Louder acts, at least in the Boston area, consist of, more often than not, men. Because somebody somewhere decided that it makes sense to have women open for men, to have women be the âprimersâ. Because showgoers care more about seeing bands than they do about seeing solo female singer-songwriters. Because we are naturally seen as less talented than our male counterparts. Because we are below the big names on the show posters, we are at the bottom of the totem pole, we are the part of the show that isnât a part of the show. Somebody somewhere decided this.
A friend I love very much was in charge of booking the aforementioned show, so when he asked me to play a few months prior, I was overjoyed. I specifically asked him if I could not open the show, because I knew I was the only female solo act on the bill, and because I knew that most of the crowd wouldnât show up until a bit later in the evening, and I wanted to have a decent audience because it was my first show in quite a whileâI had been on a bit of a performing hiatus. My friend agreed. He said I wouldnât be the opener, but I would play second. I was, again, overjoyed.
Fast forward to one week before the show, and my friend posts the set times. All of a sudden I am the opener, and I felt the agreement between my friend and I get swiftly and quietly flushed down the toilet. I cried. I had given up. I wanted to return to the scene strong with this show, really make an impression, but once again, I felt pushed down and ignored, amongst a bill full of mostly male-dominated bands. It had happened again.
For the first time in my life, I called my friend on the phone and I put up a fight. When I called him out, he told me, âI understand. Youâre definitely more right than I am,â and I wondered: Why canât I just be right? Why does my rightness have to be in comparison to yours, why does it have to be lesser than yours? He asked, âWould you put up this kind of fight with another promoter? Probably not, because I am scared, and because you are my friend, because you are a man that I trust. I trust you to help me navigate this unfair space. Use what you have that I do not have, to help me. He said, âWhoever is most active in the scene plays last.â But even when I was active in the scene, I was playing first. Iâve always played first. How am I supposed to be active if no one will let me?
He listened to me when all was said and done, and I played second, but I had to fight for it, and that hurt me more than anything, more than the initial let down.
The show ended up being great. I felt well-received and appreciated by the audience, who genuinely paid attention and seemed to enjoy my set. I heard sniffles during quiet moments. I knew I was doing my job, and that gave me an intense and joyous feeling I hadnât felt in such a long time. But right beside that pride and happiness was the anxiety from the effort I had to put in in order to get what I wanted, how I felt like a âbitchâ for having done thatâfor finally voicing my opinion and attempting to justify to my friend the unfair dynamic of booking shows. It was my first time fighting for a spot other than the opener, an argument I know my male counterparts probably never have to have.
As anxious as I felt about the altercation with my friend, I felt as though fighting for my spot made the turnout even better. It made my performance one of power and ferocity. I wasnât afraid to be angry. I wasnât afraid to sound uglyâto not sound like an angel. I wasnât afraid to let the songs speak for themselves. I just wasnât afraid anymore.
It took me a very long time to realize that there is a special kind of vulnerability you must be willing to offer an audience if youâre a woman on stage with a guitar, playing by herself. I know this now, and I recognize the strength in it.
I am still living inside this narrative. I know there will be other arguments. I know there will be times when I am too afraid to fight for what I want. I know my absence of fear is not permanent, I know that it may be fleeting.
So, to male musicians, bookers, promoters, audiences:
Pay attention to women who play music, whether we are in bands or not. Pay attention to what we have to say. Donât lump us into a âbasicâ category; stop pretending that weâre all the same, that we all sound the same, that weâre all Taylor Swift. Just stop. Pay attention. Pay attention. Look a little closer. I dare you.
Our good friend Paige has very important words of wisdom for everyone. Thank you for sharing this and teaching us how to move forward.
