Valerian Tea by Magic Fig is a delightful psychedelic throwback vibe. Some of it is quite modern sounding, some of it is *super* retro psychedelic. All super enjoyable. #indieRock #neoPsychedelic #2025albums youtu.be/dD4l8PymwaU?...

Cusp's new album "What I Want Doesn't Want Me Back" is out everywhere today!! we couldn't love this record more. each song is a compliment to the last, building and shifting with textures that come and go in service to the songs' enormous hooks. a genuine gem. cusptunes.bandcamp.com/album/what-i...

“Prewn’s Izzy Hagerup follows up to 2023’s Through the Window with a noisy, powerful slice of feedback-addled rock, a primal wail that sits alongside howling classics like PJ Harvey’s To Bring You My Love,” writes Jennifer Kelly. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7973033... @eisrecords.bsky.social

Each week there’s an album, maybe two, where I listen, really enjoy it and go through it a couple times before I kind of forget about it. Rarely there’s one that takes over my listening and I obsess. That is “System” by Prewn.

I'm tearing up the house just to find some emotion Prewn www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpEV...

have you heard the new MAGIC FIG single yet?? magicfig.bandcamp.com/track/valeri...

New Prewn LP drops today! Grab your copy on @bandcamp.com for #BandcampFriday prewnmusic.bandcamp.com/album/system

No denying the beauty in it all for sure. Already sure it’ll end up in my fav lists this year: System by Prewn. If you haven‘t already, check this amazing album. And single www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwO2... #MeerMooieDingen

Prewn's new album, System, is out today! Written, performed, and recorded by Izzy Hagerup, System is equal part stunning and unnerving. There's a magic to the songs, described by some as "itchy" and others as "jagged," yet there's no denying the beauty in it all. prewnmusic.bandcamp.com/album/system

Like the rest of the world, I'm staying up to listen to the new Prewn record and it's really good! @eisrecords.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwO2...

we are unbelievably excited to welcome MAGIC FIG to the EIS family with their upcoming album, “Valerian Tea” (out 11/21). The band didn’t waste time crafting an immaculate follow-up to their debut, a kaleidoscopic blend of prog, psych, and dream pop. magicfig.bandcamp.com/album/valeri...
