Forest Fire

Forest Fire was already making some impressive and metaphorical waves when a certain Ms. Van Etten mentioned that they were looking for a label to re-release their criminally under-heard debut album, Survival.  Add in the fact that they are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, and it was not what you might call a “tough sell”.  Their coast-hopping nature has now officially come to a close, as the entire band has once again settled in fair Brooklyn.  If you see them, do say hello, because as I said, they are very nice.

Hungry, Hungry Ghost

When Hungry, Hungry Ghost’s Alex Haager sent a demo in to BaDaBing Records, I’m guessing he was hoping to put something out on THAT label.  Silly.  Infinite Best snatched it up, made sure to run it by his BaDaBoss when he was sure to be distracted, and was given free reign to pursue the elusive HHG.   Several friendly emails and a bond over the movie Airheads later, Infinite Best had its first artist.

An interview, replete with existential tomfoolery, that sorta sums it all up:

Twin Sister

Twin Sister create the kind of buzzy hypnotic pop you’ve been dreaming about since Galaxie 500 fizzled, cut with Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac thump, and a shot of Lynchian weirdness for good measure.  They’re slack yet focused, a spark in the dark distance on a desert highway where speed is relative.  Formed in Long Island two years ago and since relocated to Brooklyn, the band has lately been wooing fans and critics alike, with glowing write ups in Chocolate Bobk, Pitchfork, Stereogum, Said the Gramophone, My Old Kentucky Blog, and dozens more, all on the strength of a free debut EP.  Their first official release will be entitled “Color Your Life”, and is being released in March on this here fancy recordin’ label.  More than anything, Twin Sister want to make music you could feel comfortable cheating on someone to.
