Melancholy and somewhat crepuscular pop, that is at the same time slightly psychedelic and slightly electronic, by Brian Pennington, who is also the founder of the fine Sandcastle label.

The series is now complete. Stay tuned, though, a there will most definitely be more Sauvie Island Moon Rocket Factory music on Best Kept Secret in the future.

Eight laid back, ethereal instrumentals for your dreaming and meditating.

Distant melodies blown away by stormy waves of noise for the tormented and contemplative souls out there.

Our dear friend Tommy Hanning is back, this time with a full band behind him, rocking and making some noise, without ever losing touch with the introspective side of his songwriting.

A thirty-seven-minute indiepop fairytale in twelve chapters, for all of you dreamers out there, about tirelessly questing for peace and love and never giving up hope for a better world and a brighter future.

You had never heard of slo-mo-fo-po before, had you? Well, neither had I, until one day I opened up my mailbox and found a demo cd-r by a Welsh band called The Rotating Stars. The attached note defined the music as slo-mo-fo-po, which stands for slow-motion-folk-pop, but, as I played it on my cd player, it turned out to be the catchiest batch of pop songs I had heard in quite some time. Mostly upbeat and fast, with the odd electronic noises in the background, these songs will keep you jumping up and down all over the place and make your day.

Jazzy orchestral pop rich with intricate textures and lush melodies. The band's line-up features Jim Santo, editor of the popular Demo Universe webzine.

Features the very first recording by this duo from Southern California playing some perfect pop with both, electric and acoustic instruments. If you liked their debut cd on Red Square, you can’t miss out on this one. Pick it up and get your socks knocked off.

Lo-fi pop mastery from Boston, MA.
