about

In the summer of 2011, my partner and I were walking past a garage sale on her street. We saw this striking painting: a portrait of a man in a snow covered landscape. The houses look like the Swedish farmhouses I grew up seeing, flowers pinned to his coat, his head is shaped and wrinkled in layers like an onion. Simple lines, primary colors, and those glaring eyes.

The songs on Present Electric are scratchy, somewhat primitive, low fidelity recordings. They range from cassette 4-track recordings, voice memos, field recordings, and percussion-first songwriting. The “onion-head man” painting seems to pair well with the album. Both are naive in their own ways.

Shop Regulars Meet Ian Christensen At Dino Alley
by Shop Regulars

Pseudo locked groove guitars, aggressive pitter-patter drumming, and vocals that sound like Sara Carter channeling Calvin Johnson- what's not to like from Portland's See My Friends Records affiliates? Paisley Shirt Records

You Might Be Happy Someday
by The Reds, Pinks & Purples

The seemingly endless output of The RP&P's catchy chorus-jangled melancholy keeps you coming back for more and more. Like if you captured Robert Smith's mindset during "The Head On The Door". Paisley Shirt Records

I Ain't Goin' Out Tonight
by Gourmet

I think I was supposed to release this album in 2016, but either I stopped responding to Gourmet's emails or Gourmet stopped responding to my emails. Regardless, the release did not happen. Paisley Shirt Records

Undeniable melodies swim up from beneath layers of distortion and effects, making this a psych-pop winner. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
