***LONESOME LEASH is the solo project of WALT MCCLEMENTS, an accordionist and multi-instrumentalist known for his previous work in DARK DARK DARK and HURRAY FOR THE RIFF RAFF. This third studio album builds on earlier works' sparse sound of accordion, drums, and voice with at-times lush synthesizers, energetic piano performances, and full horn arrangements. From dances to dirges, post-punk masterpiece Delicate Art invites listeners to contemplate intimacies, loss, and growth in celebration of queer experiences.

***ManDate, a popular gay mens pornographic magazine that brought you both hot nudes and informative articles is back in the form of a queer band from Seattle, Washington. Punk, angry and critical of contemporary cultural trends, ManDate’s debut LP, Oral History, takes on topics of gentrification, queer history, systemic violence against transgender, black, brown & queer communities and asks what it means to be an intersectional, forward-thinking individual in the world today. With COREY J. BREWER on guitar, MARC MAZIQUE on drums, CLYDE PETERSEN on bass and LORI GOLDSTON on cello, this self-described "limp wave" band keeps it dissonant, tense and upsetting.

***Theo Zumm is the long-awaited release of NANA GRIZOL's earliest recordings. Made on cassette 4-track machines and desktop computers between 2003-2004, Theo Zumm underscores songwriter THEO HILTON's lyrical sensibilities and tremendous love of tape compression. This collection includes versions of songs released on Nana Grizol's studio albums, along with songs intended as companions to them, and others that just worked better as bedroom pop than the horn-infused indie rock that characterizes the band over the last decade.
