What You Got	What You Got Fest is over! Check out these articles Willamatte Weekly The Stranger The Olympian The Volcano
kickball	Kickball are everything that is vibrant and exciting about DIY music. Their fourth release, Everything Is a Miracle Nothing Is a Miracle Everything Is, is an indie gem, equally melodic and danceable, that captures the endearingly awkward energy the Olympia trio bring live to living rooms and small clubs across the country." - The Stranger
the solvents	Manresa Castle captures love at its best and at its most damaging with an album that is both a chronicle of recovery and a confession of vulnerability.
super duo	Secret Therapy is a 27 track time capsule record of three talented musicians recorded in 99/00. Jenny Jenkins and Jen Kliese founded Super Duo in '97 to be joined later by Kelly Coyle; this is their heartfelt-pop legacy.

the next door neighbors - magic vs. the machine

Now Shipping!

Magic Vs the Machine is a coming of age story, full of images of transformation and struggle against the judgments and false-logic of the machine. From the defiant celebration of Magic Vs. the Machine to the quiet despair of The Train Song, wherever they go The Nextdoor Neighbors lead with their hearts.

yes please - for now for then for them

Now Shipping!

Lily's first full length release is an album diverse in feel and content. Acapella, nylon string guitar, lushly orchestrated tracks; this album displays a greatly expanded musical palette while retaining the well crafted imagery and lyricism she's always shown.

jenny jenkins - oventoucher

"Like a flightless bird that tries to fly again / somehow I want love so bad even though I don't want love."
As in the cover art, Jenny Jenkins reaches for the frosted cake of love again and again, undeterred by the obvious dangers of the flaming oven. And so, with bravery and brutal honesty, she confronts the subject of love while joined by a cast of talented olympians including Derrick Johnson (leton mite, unwound), Andrew Dorsett (lake), Jen Klise (superduo), and Vince Brown (tune stranglers).

june madrona - battlegrounds

June Madrona's fourth album Battlegrounds is now available!
"The unique instrumentation lends these wistful, perceptive meditations on love, loss and youth a sense of otherworldliness; the tangible presence of those worries that nag at the back of your mind; the shapes you catch moving at the corner of your eye; the secret aches that burn the heart and sting the eye."- James O'Connell (www.rocklouder.co.uk)
