Small Million release "an anthemic rocker about the double edged sword of not giving a fuck"

“‘Good Impressions’ is about aging out of caring what people think of you, of no longer staying a minute longer than you’re having fun at the party. The song embodies both the empowerment and the undercurrent of anguish therein, the tension between wanting to connect with people and wanting to be alone, between following your intuition and being unwilling to abandon your comfort zone.” - Malachi Graham

The LP, Passenger, is out September 1 on Tender Loving Empire Records. The band are beginning to roll out tour dates on the west coast with more to come!

Small Million release official video for "Burnout"

Portland’s Small Million have been dropping singles from their upcoming release for Tender Loving Empire Records over the last few months and have now graced us with an I-Spy themed video from the talented young queer filmmaker, Emma Josephson. The Joy of Violent Movement calls the track “a hook-driven bit of pop built around Graham’s ethereal vocal melody, glistening guitar lines, and a driving rhythm section,” and says, “the accompanying video for ‘Burnout’ stars Sammy Rios as a woman struggling to burst out of being reduced to flattened, two-dimensional rendition of a person — while appearing as though she’s losing her own mind.”

Midwestern Dirt share first single from upcoming LP

Chicago indie rock band Midwestern Dirt are set to release their new LP, Twilight at a Burning Hill, August 18. Today, they share the first single from the record, a track that was born out of a New Order style guitar riff and eventually evolved into its final form: a slow burning, jangly, slightly psychedelic, indie-rocker with lyrics sporting nostalgia-colored glasses. The track’s pun of a title takes its inspiration from the annual Air & Water Show occurring every summer in Chicago.
