Vinyl LP pressing. CONSTANT SPRINGTIME, the full-length debut of Washington D.C.'s Magazine Beach, was written over two years in an attempt to make an album that's intentional, emotive, and radically different from our previous endeavors. During this time, they deliberately wrote only the 11 songs that are on the album. Through extensive writing sessions individually and collectively, they distilled their favorite emo, hardcore, folk, and power pop tropes into a work that examines the concept of "the Album" as a medium. The songs on Constant Springtime are heavily referential - to each other and to the music, media, and experiences that inspired them during the process. This album is equal parts personal narrative and stylistic exercise: it is an unfiltered glimpse into who they are as a band. Magazine Beach is about creating art that is unfamiliar and lived-in all at once, finding a home in the space between happiness and the inevitable, and putting every ounce of themselves into their projects. Transparent Blue with Baby Pink Splatter

Vinyl LP pressing. Lake Saint Daniel is the project of artist/producer Daniel Radin (Future Teens). Growing up in Massachusetts, his dad would play James Taylor every night while making dinner and Daniel couldn't stand it. However after years of making emo-influenced power pop with his band Future Teens, Daniel's inherited love of gentle melodies began to peak through the cracks of his work. This eventually led to Good Things, Lake Saint Daniel's debut, a record about nostalgia, sentimentality and reckoning with growing older. Coke Bottle Clear LP

Amidst the isolation of the past 2+ years, Pony's Sam Bielanski and their partner Matty Morand transformed themselves into songwriting machines. Thanks in part to their pandemic podcast project, 2 Much TV, which challenged themselves to write a new song every single week, they wrote over 100 new original songs - finding inspiration from hours of television, books, and self reflection, and constantly sharpening their songwriting tools with every new melody. The result is the band's second full-length studio album, Velveteen, featuring some of their most vulnerable to-date - 10 new stories about deep connection or longing for it, and embracing true authenticity, all wrapped in easily consumable pop hooks and infectious melodies. "For me I have learned that we become our most authentic selves when we allow ourselves to be open and deeply affected by someone else" says Bielanski, reflecting on the songwriting process that also corresponded with a 9 month-long struggle with insomnia that also inspired the album's title. "I listened to an audio book of the velveteen rabbit every night until I fell asleep. I became obsessed with the story but I never listened all the way through. The way I eventually interpreted the story was that it's the love that we give and receive that makes us real or whole. The one chapter I found especially heart wrenching is when the velveteen rabbit is trying to hang with the real rabbits of the forest, and through comparison he realizes he isn't as real as he thought he was. It was a good lesson for me even now because I'm constantly fighting the urge to compare myself to others. Your individual experiences make you who you are and nothing can change that. That's what I thought, until I finally listened to the entirety of the story and found out that at the end of the book a fairy turns the velveteen rabbit into an actual rabbit and then I got really confused." The songwriting process for this record was different from any other time Pony had recorded music in the past. Bielanski was stuck inside, had a bad neighbor, and was forced to write music in absolute silence. "I made a lot of the demos for this record on garageband on my phone, often singing into my headphone mic inside the closet so as to not disturb anyone. Once I was happy with the songs Matty would add their contributions until we felt the songs were nearly done. It was amazing to see how much the songs would change every time a new person was added into the mix. It wasn't until we recorded them with [recording engineer] Alex Gamble that the songs truly came to life for me. I guess Alex was the fairy who made Velveteen real."
