Thin Lear, the eclectic project of Queens-based songwriter Matt Longo, harkens back to the intricate work of 70's-era studio obsessives. The debut album, Wooden Cave, arrived on EggHunt Records (Lucy Dacus) in July 2020, and received glowing praise from PopMatters (Best Albums of 2020), AllMusic (★★★★), Bandcamp's New & Notable, and KEXP, and was featured on NPR’s New Music Friday. Thin Lear is currently working on a sophomore album with producer Matt Ross-Spang (Margo Price) at Sam Phillips Recording Service. http://www.thinlear.com/
Nico Padden is a one-woman folk-rock riot. Ben Folds said that the title track to her new album Pirate Queen is “original and classic at the same time.” Pirate Queen, which was recorded and mixed by Kevin Kelly, is an album about taking back the crown that is rightfully yours, even if by unorthodox means. Nico called her favorite female friends/vocalists to sing on the album, highlighting the power of female voices singing (and speaking up) together.
