Okay Lindon return with a new spacey, dreamy, ambient, unclassifiable EP with some big choruses. “Passion Pain” comes out on October 20 but you don’t have to wait as you can hear the first single and pre-order the EP and cassette on BandCamp Friday September 1.
Okay Lindon’s Dustin Smith has released a new blissful, ambient episode of sampled and manipulated Bulgarian choral music to help you relax amongst the chaos of the modern age. It’s shoegazey, it’s liturgical, it’s ancient, and it is weird.
In conjunction with Isaac Karns’ (former Pomegranate, Marble Garden Studio) Marble Garden Radio, “First Litany” is the debut episode in a series titled “Morning Prayer” where Dustin samples, twists, slows down, and adds instrumentation to what, in this episode, is a cassette tape recording from 1970 of the Svetoslav Obratenov Bulgarian Choir, conducted by Georgi Robev.
You can listen to this and future episodes on Mixcloud at Marble Garden Radio’s channel .
We are excited to announce a new compilation releasing exclusively on BandCamp this Friday April 2.
Popilation (Vol. 1) is a digital collection of brand new songs, side projects, overlooked songs, or never-before-released songs from the Poptek family of artists.
BandCamp will be waiving all their usual fees like they have been doing on the first Friday of every month. We plan to use all the funds from this compilation towards vinyl releases of albums we are working on right now (The 1984 Draft, Slow Rivals, Jill & Micah, Kris N., maybe more).
Here is the track listing:
1- Ruetschle “Mysteriously”- First new track from the Dayton faux-Brit poppers since 2006’s “Exotic Destinations”. Taken from the never finished “Color Theory” recording sessions.
2- Golden Orra “The Chord I Heard in My Dream”- Brilliant brand new song from the super talented, play-everything Alexander Scaglia. This song sounds so cool.
3- Slow Rivals “Ready For Love?”- Most recent release from this Seattle dream pop quintet. The dual vocals between Graham Travis and Lacey Brown adds a wonderful new dimension to their sound.
4- Kris N. & Lindsey N. “Shadyside, PA”- A beautiful love song with a beautiful chorus that can’t be played on the radio or around kids.
5- Okay Lindon “Baba O’Wiley”- Dustin, Erica, and Andrew’s catchy attempt to fight pandemic-induced isolation.
6- Joe Anderl “Silence Your Hymns”- The voice of The 1984 Draft writes and sings honestly about racism, being a friend, and being a father.
7- Arms Race “16 Candles, One Burn Victim”- Poptek has gone emo. This overlooked release features the sweet voice of Tim Anderl (Sweet Cheetah Publicity, brother of Joe), the usual crazy drumming of The Draft’s Justin Satinover, their friend Cole on bass, and Kris N. getting to play punk rock guitar. We wish this was a Poptek release.
8- Hangover, Ohio “Clumsy Handedness”- Art rockers Nick Satinover and Kris N. deliver really clever pop hooks buried in experimental sounds and rhythms.
9- Lost Friends “Fair Warning”- The Greek God of Style’s synth pop melancholy gets stuck on repeat in your memory.
10- April & June “Bristol Babes”- Sibling harmonies are the best. When the siblings are identitcal twins, expect even better.
11- The 1984 Draft “Counting Up”- Don’t overlook this B-side from “Destination Breakdown”. The Draft know how to put words to hard experiences and big choruses to rock songs.
12- Aberrant Wave “The Lost”- Eli Alban (The 1984 Draft) has a long-distance side project with Michael Head from North Carolina and it is wonderfully spacey.
13- Quaint “All The World Loves . . .”- Kris N, Chip Heck (The 1984 Draft), and Michael Malarkey (The Vampire Diaries) have been in a few bands together in their youth. Quaint was one of them.
14- Father’s Day “Father’s Day Prayer”- Joe Anderl and Kris N. are two great lyricists together in one band. Father’s Day can’t help but be great.
15- Las Golondrinas “The Art of Marriage”- XL427’s Andy Ingram has a dark and odd sense of humor. That comes out in the side project Las Golondrinas and the songs are ever so catchy.
