This month in Local Waves news, we had 10+ new submissions from local artists to add to the Library! Peekskill’s TJ Douglas released a short but sweet lament called “Glory to Change” that they specifically dedicate to “all those killed by ICE” with proceeds benefitting NYLAG. Ulster County’s Two Dark Birds have released their new LP Dreamers of the Golden Dream Vol. 1 (celebrating at Bearsville Theater tonight) and if you’re familiar with their whispery indie-folk you might be surprised to hear the giant drums and electronic fuzz that gives songs like “Girl of Summer” a slightly unhinged vibe. One of my favorite new bands, Kingston’s Bird Week, have dropped another EP of summery, Elephant 6 Collective-y beauts called Rose Marsh, and a new project out of Athens called FlotStudio sent in a track based on some nervy voicemails and their own heartbeat run through effects, called xvoicemail.”

Mikaela Davis (Catskill) / Officially announced new LP on the legendary Kill Rock Stars label, first single, the cosmic country tinged “(Looking Through) Rose Colored Glasses”

Nic Panken (Kingston) / lush, dreamy folk rock track “Dear Companion” from upcoming LP

Lunar Figurines (Kingston) / genre-defying indie sounds on their debut LP Cracked In Two

Mona Freaka (Woodstock) / new track “Last Song” with major 90s alt-rock vibes
