Truth Club • Hopscotch • Skylar Gudasz • Lily Seabird • Pegg • POP Montréal • Animal Hospital
Hi from the northeast part of America, where I’m thinking about bailing on press releases altogether because they seem pointless in 2024. Folks seem to read this AND click on links… thanks for doing that btw!
These are my favorite songs of the year so far, click play…
Lots going on atm, see for yourself:

LILY SEABIRD
Last week, the Vermonter announced three solo shows in Los Angeles (Aug 10 @ Permanent Records Roadhouse), London (Aug 14 @ The Waiting Room), and NYC (Sep 03 @ Sleepwalk). She also signed a record contract last week, details to come.
SKYLAR GUDASZ
Out today (tomorrow on digital services) is “Atoll,” the two-chord, six-minute stunner off Gudasz’s new album COUNTRY, due Aug 09 via Perseids Records. “This mise-en-scène is bomb” takes on a whole new meaning once you read more about this song’s background on Magnet. New shows announced in Nashville and London.

ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Boston: come with me to see Kevin Micka bring Animal Hospital songs to life at NICE, a fest in Somerville this weekend. He plays Sunday 2pm at The Rockwell but the whole four-day lineup is incredible. Copies of Shelf Life are available at the merch table and elsewhere.
