Earlimart have released a 20th anniversary, first time ever on vinyl, edition of their acclaimed fourth full-length album, Treble & Tremble, and will celebrate with an intimate performance at Scribble in Highland Park, on November 23, their first live performance in a dozen years. With support from longtime friend and collaborator Jason Lytle.
Earlimart's Treble & Tremble is a reaction to someone leaving the room without saying a word. It's a lush, haunting affair informed by loss, but with a determined effort to let go and move on, tying clean knots from a tangle of loose ends. With numerous references to telephones, reports, conversation and music itself, Treble and Tremble is about communication and how we fail to communicate. Yet, amid the white noise, the record is also a celebration of the moments we break through. (continue)

Nashville-based rockers Parker Barrow just release their new single "Don't Tell Mama (What Mama Don't Know)" and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the track. Here is the story:
The song idea originally came from a night off in Boston about 6 years ago, when a friend of ours came out on the road with us for the first time and had a few too many beverages. He made a comment about if his mom only knew the condition he was in - and Megan said "Don't Tell Mama!" A few weeks later we wrote the song just before heading to Jacksonville to record the 'demos' that would become our debut EP that was released in 2020 - and it ended up being the title track as well.
