Blurred Harmony is the 4th studio full-length album from indie psych-folk stalwarts, The Parson Red Heads. It is the overdriven jangle of Teenage Fanclub and Big Star power- pop, the skewed psychedelics of the Paisley Underground, the bittersweet energy of New Zealand’s “Dunedin Sound” movement, and the muted twang of Cosmic Americana, all crammed into 44 minutes. It will be released on June 9 by Fluff and Gravy Records (US) and You Are The Cosmos (Europe). As the band’s frontman, Evan Way puts it, “This record is more a true part of us than any record we have made before – we put ourselves into it, made ourselves fully responsible for it. Even the themes of the songs are more personal than ever – it’s an album dealing with everything that has come before. It’s an album about nostalgia, about time, change, about the hilarious, wonderful, bittersweet, sometimes sad, always incredible experience of living. Sometimes it is about regret, or the possibility of regret. These are big topics, and to us, it is a big album, yet somehow still intimate and honest.”

Lake Laconic has been chipping away at his music in the town of Astoria, OR finding different directions to go while living in a place where foundation can be built. His heart, humor and power spills into the songs he writes with a projecting voice and a guitar that talks. Lake put his first album out in 2024, a self-titled album that is a collection of songs he wrote while living in Los Angeles at the height of chronic pain, self-recorded during the covid-19 outbreak. His most recent album, Cut the String, was recorded by Mark Robertson and captured through live tracking in the attic of Mark’s house with the help of Lake’s brother and long time collaborator, Evan Jiroudek.
