Philadelphia art-rockers Pine Barons announce their new Fishmans cover album I LOVE FISH by sharing the music video for cover track "ナイトクルージング (Night Cruising)". Fishmans is known for their unique psychedelic sound with rocksteady basslines and the distinctive vocals of the late lead singer Shinji Sato.

Lead vocalist Keith Abrams says "ナイトクルージング (Night Cruising) was one of the first songs that came together for this record early on in the process, and was one of the easier songs to translate into English. It was a popular song for Fishmans when it first came out, and I wanted to stay true to its dreaminess and to have it build upon itself and crescendo into a blissful end.”

"For this video, we tried to embody the brightness and liveliness that was our discovery of Fishmans. Looking back on their music has truly helped us look forward. It sparked a flame and revitalized a forgotten feeling we’ve all had in ourselves - a yearning curiosity and genuine awe. It rekindled our love and appreciation for music, creatively and objectively." says Alex Beebe, keyboardist and director of the music video. 

As fans of Fishmans, Pine Barons took great care to replicate and honor the intricate details that went into the original record, in addition to adding their own meticulous spin. For example, on legendary 30 minute romp "Long Season," the band ran through a field of snow geese with 3 different samplers for a transition. The band paints a picture of recording that track, describing: "we built custom wind chimes out of glockenspiel tone bars, bells, forks and knives which were all hanging from the rim of a bike tire which hung from the ceiling. Two mics coming out the ears of a mannequin head which was placed beneath the spinning wind chimes were used to record it for a binaural effect."

Channeling sold gold influences like The Pastels, Comet Gain, Orange Juice and The Aislers Set, The Umbrellas represent the fertile San Francisco Bay Area scene at its most pop-tastic. "Fairweather Friend" follows-up their surprise-hit 2021 debut in fine fashion, featuring sterling songwriting and arranging, bigger and more nuanced production, and terrific, assured vocals all around. The Umbrellas have swung for the fences with this new album and it's a bold, beautifully-executed success.

The Umbrellas - Gone

Taken from the ninth album "Walking After Dark" from this long-running New Haven group is a sprawling travelogue through the band’s strengths. Across two LPs the quartet weaves heady, improvised jams with melodious, hazy lyricism, balancing fried, stony brilliance with outré excursions of experimental serenity.

As menacing and unhinged as ever, the pride of Staten Island is back with their fifth full-length offering, V. Raw and absent of the modern technological trappings, the Budos pick up where they left off with 2014’s “Burnt Offering”, and finds the group expanding on the brooding, fuzz-fueled riffs, whilst harkening back to the Ethiopian inspired rhythms and percussive proclivity that put Budos Band on the map.

--
Ahead of the release of their Tough Love debut in October, Glenn Donaldson's prolific Reds, Pinks and Purples project have released the second track from the record, the poignantly titled 'Your Parents Were Wrong About You'. Lyrically, it's a perfect riposte to the challenges of a n unrelenting year, captured best in the line, "take good care of your friends, they won't always be there". As you read this, Donaldson's city of San Francisco is coated in a thick layer of smoke from nearby wildfires, and these words feel as appropriate as ever.

Reflecting on the track, Donaldson provides a little insight into its inspiration, a moving portrait of a dark situation. 
 
"I once had a girlfriend whose mother took me out to dinner basically to warn me that her daughter was a bad person. The tragedy of that has stuck with me all these years. This song is dedicated to anyone with toxic or undermining parents. They were wrong about you."
