The new record from Dutch Interior out on March 21st 2024. Stereogum has called the band's music "fantastically immersive" and Paste cosigns their "recipe for a rock song that'll stick with you long after it's over." Friends since childhood, the LA-based sixpiece's New record is an an inventive blend of modern day Americana, shapeshifting indie and ultimately an inspired passion project from six lifelong friends who have made a record that sounds bigger than themselves. In the same way artists like Wilco or MJ Lenderman have turned classic songwriting on its head, the album both acknowledges and breaks with tradition, and is an ultimately hopeful elegy of what it means to confront change and find beauty in a precarious world. Past dates with DIIV, julie, Current Joys, and they are gutting a body of water - more confirmed touring to follow.

Meg Duffy of Hand Habits wrote new album Blue Reminder as a reaction to what one does when happiness actually comes knocking. After years of collaborating and touring with musicians like Kevin Morby and Perfume Genius, Duffy still draws on the solace of that community, but takes center stage, with their most assured, classic songwriting yet against a backstop of nuanced instrumentation and moving testimony. The record is a celebration of commitment: to being a more honest version of yourself, driven by a romantic love that recognizes the beauty of imperfection. Lead single “Wheel of Change” is perhaps the most joyous and anthemic song Duffy has ever made, with a chorus that remains stuck in your head, but the record as a whole traverses a myriad of emotions where the stakes are higher than they’ve ever been.
