The Ashenden Papers is a newer project by Sacramento native, Jason Dezember from NAR! "Night Walk" is an 8 song album of breezy indie pop compiled from 4 seasonal themed EPs that were released in 2021 and 2022. Two songs feature vocals by fellow Sacramento born legend, Rose Melberg. Did you know Jason recorded the Tiger Trap side of their split with Bratmobile on his 4-track? It was also the very first Tiger Trap release. Love to see people grow and change and flourish.

Little Jumpy T

The Everfree Forest is a queer indie rock band blending the styles of punk, folk, and synthpop, to name a few. Members Rose Lockwood (guitars, vocals, songwriting) and Jay Galaxia (vocals, engineering, songwriting) are currently based in California and Massachusetts respectively. Meeting online over their love of indie musicians, they have been making music together for over three years, originally as a part of Songs From The Moons, before eventually  splitting off into their own group in the spring of 2023. Their biggest influences include They Might Be Giants, Ween, The Beatles, and Glass Beach.

A mostly cassette tape record label out of Seattle, Washington, USA.
