More details at holocene.org/vaccine "The Slaps are a pastoral slacker pop trio, previously based out of Chicago but now spread between Chicago and Lexington, Kentucky. Since the trio met in 2016, they’ve been creating at a steady clip, working new material in Chicago clubs while releasing their 2017 record Susan’s Room and their 2019 EPs A and B . In recent years guitarist/vocalist Rand Kelly and bassist/vocalist Ramsey Bell returned to their homes in Kentucky, while drummer/vocalist Josh Resing stayed in Chicago, but the distance hasn’t dulled their creative spark. Over the pandemic, the band have been putting together their newly announced LP, Tomato Tree , which the band sees as their first proper full-length album. Recorded at Chicago’s Pallet Sound, the album sees the band’s slowcore-tinged slacker pop expand in new directions, showcasing the band’s winding instrumental sprawl and effortless chemistry." - Under the Radar M A N E is a 5-piece Art-Pop R&B project featuring (current + former) members of Pure Bathing Culture & Y La Bamba. Their record "Leo // Lib // Bull" - released July 23rd, 2021 on Literal Gold Records - was mixed by Jake Viator of Stones Throw Records (Mild High Club, Mount Kimbie, MNDSGN).
