Raven Sings The Blues on the third and final single off the upcoming Coaster LP by Massage! We're shipping records now, pre-orders going first!

Release show set for October 9th at the Permanent Records Roadhouse in Los Angeles! Don't sleep on it.

"Through a host of personal growth, including loss, marriage, children, and upheaval, L.A.’s Massage have evolved more than most between albums. The band returns next month with their third album, an examination of those seismic shakeups that have snapped them over the past four years. The band releases another single from the set, opener “No North Star,” a smudged, yearning cut that invites the listener to get lost in their own sense of disorientation. Chiming guitars, gauzy textures, and perfectly sighed vocals form the backbone of the track. It’s easy to feel unmoored these days, and Massage offer up some solace on “No North Star.” The band’s latest album, Coaster, is out October 10th from Mt. St Mtn (US), Bobo Integral (EU) and Prefect (UK)."

When You Motor Away Blog weighs in on the first two singles off the upcoming Massage LP, Coaster, arriving 10/10 (pre-orders shipping earlier).

"Pssst! Hey you -- yes, you. How would you like a massage? Don't worry -- no one is going to put their hands on you. We are proposing an aural treat delivered by LA indie pop band Massage. After four years and several landmark life experiences (good and bad), Massage is preparing to release new album Coaster. We expect to be impressed by the groups alchemy of Britpop, dream pop and shoegaze. And having listened to their previous album Still Life earlier today, we know that we won't be disappointed.
Two of the album's songs have been shared. "Fading Out" is Britpop flavored with a hint of J&MC. "Daffy Duck is a propulsive shoegaze gem. Adding it up, our math says this is going to be a very good album. Cynics might point out that when it comes to WYMA math, main writer Scott was a history major with two law degrees. Nevertheless, with respect to music, our taste is impeccable."

Austin Town Hall shares "Fading Out" by Massage!

"When Massage announced their forthcoming Coaster LP, they did so with this sort of clean version of Jesus and the Mary Chain, at least in some of the initial press from folks like us. But, while that vibe certainly hangs in the background of their newest tune, there’s definitely something else that’s aching to shine through that weighted backdrop. Like a ray of sunshine, there’s this rolling vibe of euphoria bursting through, akin to some of the mid 90s work that was coming overseas during the heyday of Brit pop…and I mean that as an honest compliment. They’re kind of playing off a sort of Sarah Records meets My So Called Life, and I don’t mind that one bit, and in fact, am quite eager to hear how far they push their confidence on Coaster. It drops via Mt. St. Mtn. and Bobo Integral on October 10th."

Raven Sings The Blues writes up the new single "Fading Out" off the forthcoming Massage LP, Coaster, out 10/10.

"The singles are coming quicker than ever these days, gotta stay sharp! After the dizzying delight of “Daffy Duck” the band introduces the fuzzy forms of “Fading Out.” The second single is still awash in pop, but lets it slip below the hazy horizon. The band leans back into the foam and fuzz this time around, jettisoning the jangles that have often found their way to the forefront of Massage’s works in favor of a welcoming oblivion. It’s nice to just get lost in the heat and haze of “Fading Out,” an anthem for avoiding the inevitable. The band’s new album, Coaster, is out October 10th from Bobo Integral, Prefect, and Mt. St Mtn."

Mike Ramos and R. E. Seraphin present one of the year’s most stunning records.

02/05/2025

Add To Wantlist reviews the new EP by The Pennys, out now on streaming, records shipping in the next couple weeks.

The Bay Area continues to cough up excellent indie pop projects, and The Pennys might be the latest to win your heart. A hypeworthy collaboration between Mike Ramos (Cindy, Tony Jay, April Magazine) and R.E. Seraphin (solo, Talkies, Apache—and occasional ATW guest reviewer), The Pennys are rounded out by other familiar names: Yea-Ming Chen (vocals, keyboards, organ), Owen Adair Kelley (slide guitar), and Luke Robbins (vocals).

The Pennys debut with a six-song EP on Mt.St.Mtn that’s simply wonderful in all its understated (lo-)finess(e). The band redefines gang vocals, turning them into a kind of collaborative whisper—indie pop for introverts, perhaps. These songs sneak up on you: they’re laid-back, unhurried, and full of ’60s pop melodies in an outsider package full of cracks. Opener Say Something tingles the spine. One Million Things jangles with ease. My World plays like a Velvet Underground outtake. And No More Tears closes the record in a style that makes you get why the band self-describes as occult heartbreak pop.

By the time it ends, you start to feel like Ramos and Seraphin were always meant to make music together.

The Pennys EP is out now on 12″ and streaming everywhere. For more on the band, check out this insightful interview with Ramos and Seraphin over at Remember the Lightning.
