THAT GHOST
Shimmery SF pop buzz band. "At times, That Ghost aka Ryan Schmale nods heavily in the direction of the Elephant 6 Collective, like if Jeff Mangum took a second to breathe and unwound his claustrophobic laments into a breezy sadness, or if we stumbled on a box full of Strokes demo tapes featuring a sedated Julian Casablancas. That Ghost's Young Fridays is great because Schmale's smart heart-on-sleeve lyrics and rough melodies stick in your head a lot longer than it probably took him to record them." --Fader

THE Dry Spells
a female-led electrified psyche-folk ensemble featuring members of Citay and the Sonny Smith Band, The Dry Spells create a unique sound drawing from traditional folk ballads of lost loves, unimaginable sorrows, and nostalgia for a forgotten past, charged with an array of electric and acoustic instrumentation and intricate vocal harmonies. "Harmonies that evoke the minimal post-punk of Electrelane and the maximal ethno-folk-punk of Camper Van Beethoven." --SF Bay Guardian
