“I love Germ House and have comped the shit out of them over the last couple of years on my label Girlsville. They really classed up my trashy pop compilations. They also put out a brilliant LP on Trouble in Mind. The sound sits somewhere between post punk and jangle pop. Austere and melodic pop juxtaposed with discordant noisy bits, and all recorded with that requisite analog tape grit. This would not be out of place in the Scottish post punk scene of the early 1980’s, or perhaps like something on New Zealand’s Flying Nun Records. These particular tracks were recorded on either 4 track cassette, or Otari 8 track reel to reel to 1/2″ tape. Peep the straight up 1970’s AOR guitar lead towards the end of “Crawlspace” it’s a big payoff to the hypnotic and plodding lo fi jangle that leads up to it.”  -Courtney DelMar

Tiny Diamond: Don’t let the word ‘tiny’ fool you: Providence’s Tiny Diamond brings a heap of sound in the form of electric guitar, cello and drums, topped off with luscious harmonies. Citing a range of influences including the analog warmth of the 60’s, the digital delights of the 1980’s, and the attitude of the 90’s, Tiny Diamond has staked its claim in the local music scene. Their EP Light Codes is available now on Spotify and iTunes.
