The Sonora Pine

When I've taken a break from all my Des Ark listening lately, I've been listening to the Sonora Pine. After Rodan broke up, Tara Jane O'Neil moved to New York and started the Sonora Pine with Sean Meadows.
I saw TJO play with Mirah a couple months ago, which was pretty awesome. All the the sixteen-year-old LA indie kids of course didn't have any idea of who she is.
Anyway, this is their sophomore album II. It's very pretty.

Pocahaunted

I've been listening to a lot of drone-psych type stuff this week. We got a package in at the station from Britt at Not Not Fun (who is in Robedoor) last week, which I suppose set it off. Anyway, I have not been able to get enough Pocahaunted. They're Bethany and Amanda from Eagle Rock in Los Angeles.



Here is one of their 3" CDRs released on Not Not Fun released last year. Only one song, but it's beautiful.
Pocahaunted- Native Seduction

Des Ark.... because I feel like it

I'm going to start posting one album a week.
Here's the Des Ark part of their split with Ben Davis and the Jetts, which I cannot stop listening to. They're from North Carolina and, according to their website, are making queercore a threat again.
