Pacifico (solo) + Little Foot w/ Feel Something
When we last heard from Matthew Schwartz of Pacifico on his early 2022 EP release “‘05/‘22,”we were hearing the Matthew Schwartz of Pacifico from 17 years earlier.True to the title, much of that explosive batch of songs was recorded in 2005, misplaced viahard drive in the pre-cloud era, then eventually found, completed, and released.On the upcoming full-length Self Care (Pacifirecords, Feb. 10, 2023), now sounds like NOW.Schwartz’s first full-length in five years comes with all of the pent-up emotion one would expectfrom meticulously composing a statement under the veil of cleaning out a desk drawer of oldmaterial (literally, in this case.)
Joelton Mayfield with True Giant (Gar Clemens)
Raised in small-town Central Texas and based in Nashville, Tennessee, Joelton Mayfield crafts hard-hitting Alt-Country with a DIY Indie Rock ethic. Mayfield’s distinct take on the Alt-Country genre blends a Wilco-esque musicality with Kraut Rock influences and a tried-and-true Texas Country flair, often with much more left-field instrumentation. His deft lyricism draws a Southern Gothic literary sensibility, dealing intimately with the tensions embedded in family, religion, masculinity, and love in the American South. Recently, Mayfield has gained some traction in the broader music community and now having some representation, new music is slated to be released July 2024.
