Shadowgraphs are back with their second full length album in as many years. ‘Another Time’ sees the band expanding its sonic palette, while still staying true to their firmly established psychedelic roots.
“Shadowgraphs make baroque psych, taking late ’60s acts like Pink Floyd (the Syd years), The Zombies and 13th Floor Elevators as a starting point and putting their own spin on things.”

Portland, OR based Shadowgraphs are back with another surging psychedelic gem in their brand new single, ‘Before The Time.’
An atmospheric, rhythmically driven progression and punctuated bassline give cadence to drifting vocals, resonating echoes and the philosophical exploration of making difficult choices.
Singer and guitarist Charles Glade had this to say about the track:
“Before the Time was actually one of the first songs that Bryan and I had worked on. I had this 3/4 style key part and Bryan had a great vocal melody to go along with. We both loved this repetitious jam, but couldn’t get past the verse, so we just let it simmer.
Last fall, after 2 years of letting it simmer, Bryan was out in Portland visiting while I was on some whiskey kick back in his studio. The rest of the song sorta clicked with the “James Bond style” intro, guitar, a bassline, and chorus vocals. For me the song became “that James Bond one”, but when Bryan got back and heard it, he elaborated more on one of the lyrics I had on the Chorus, “Before the Time”.
For Bryan this song became more about a hard personal life decision that he had to make, stitching the chorus and verse lyrics together smoothly, start to finish. Then after the move in December, Bryan recorded his vocals to the song alone out in Portland playing around with a space echo for some really unique delay textures (that we ended up chopping up and rearranging later on).”
Following up their debut album, ‘Venomous Blossoms,’ the group has recently finished recording their second full length album ‘Another Time,’ releasing Nov. 30 via Golden Brown.
“Foothills begins with syncopated guitars, hypnotically layered in signature Bobey style. This immediately soothing atmosphere draws listeners into his meditative world, a perfect backdrop for the subtle and nuanced lyrics."
-ThrdCoast
BOBEY
Bobey is an Oakland-based musician who makes percussive and melodic loops in odd time signatures using effects pedals. Many of his songs reflect on growing up in California’s central valley and focus on the fluidity of memory.
Bobey’s writing revisits the mundane details of nostalgia, and the way that time shifts their context. Moments like taking half a year of karate after your father’s car was broken into, cleaning birch tree pollen off the sunroof of your Nissan Maxima, and your childhood playground burned down in a series of arsons across Sacramento in 2015. Taking influence from artists like Battles and Dosh, he uses live looping to build melodies on top of themselves rather than approaching them linearly.
Siblings by Bobey is being released via Golden Brown as a digital full length album, plus a limited edition vinyl 7" of Melon Cauliflower b/w Foothills.

The man behind Berdmajik, Donnie Felton, is best known for his work with psych-surf-indie cult favorites Grubby Little Hands. Berdmajik’s debut album, SPELLS, sounds like a distant relative to his previous outfit - a psychedelic second cousin, twice removed. Felton’s airy pop instincts merge with melancholy vocals in a sweet/savory axis. Utilizing the same soul-steeped pop songwriting that has always been simmering just beneath the surface of Felton’s earlier efforts, as Berdmajik those undertones come frothing over.
Berdmajik's debut album, SPELLS is out now on Golden Brown. Cassette/Digital orders here:

The debut LP from Charlotte, NC's Shadowgraphs is out now in digital and vinyl formats, all available via the GB SHOP. Check what the critics are saying about this stellar debut:
"Olson and Glade are very talented musicians, songwriters and arrangers, and it really shows here, with the record being evocative of the ’60s without specifically cribbing from any particular artist. Groovy bass lines abound, as do vibraphones, eight-mile-high harmonies, and nods to tropicalia and krautrock....At its core, though, Venomous Blossoms is a killer pop album, never losing sight of the hook." - Brooklyn Vegan
"A slick bass line intertwines with the driving percussion and throwback guitar riff, all anchored by a Doors-like organ and Beach Boys harmonies, making "Country Side" a brilliant piece of modern day rock infused with a 60s ethos." - Indie Shuffle
"It sounds how old vinyl sleeves smell. It warms you and gives you the urge to imagine back then in relation to the present, not necessarily thrusting you into the past." - The 405

Shot by the band on their most recent tour in support of Casual Listener, this video for the slow-burning 'Sudo Su' is a dreamlike representation of time and memory. Click the image above to view the video in full and the accompanying write-up from Exclaim!
"To me, that evening, and this video it produced, tell the story of how we experience time. We live a moment in such a concrete manner, and then when it's done...we're not sure it ever happened. Is it a memory, or a dream? Somehow that memory floats on the threshold between the two. Where did that happen again? What was he wearing? Did we share that dance? What song was playing? Some of the details are imprinted in our minds forever...and others slip just outside the reaches of our memory..."
- Nick Hyatt (Future States)

Future States' full-length debut 'Casual Listener' is out now on Golden Brown!
"Future States make some versatile grooves that can take on the precision and intricacy of math, smooth into retro sensibilities, glide into folk vibes, or just turn into an all-out jam session. Turns out that makes for some ever engaging tunes that will deftly keep the ear guessing."
- Stereogum
"A little less laid-back than the title suggests, songs like 'Apostolic' and 'Sudo Su' break apart and reform like foam on water as sturdy psych-rock gives way to abstract electronics."
- Noisey
