M.T. Bearington
Matt Thomas knows how to write a song. That much is certain. He's been the front person for many a band; In Vain, Leaves of Lothlorien, Weigh Down, Short Pants Romance, and the short lived but still talked about Orange Forest. Amidst the chaos of the last couple years, as one band fell apart and another reunited, Matt started writing songs for himself, bringing them home and recording them in his house at the end of late nights, early mornings, and whenever he found the inspiration. The end result, "Cloak Of Nouns And Loss" (SMR011) is a beautiful collection of pop psychedelic folk bliss, owing as much to Brian Wilson as to Roy Wood, complete with highs and lows, perfect harmonies and lush tones. With the exception of a bass line here and a drum track there, the album was recorded, mixed, and performed by Matt Thomas alone. Now, with Weigh Down on hiatus, Matt has assembled the Bearington band to bring his bedroom recordings to life.

A little something about the bands:
M.T. Bearington - Chances are you already know these guys, and if not, you used to like one of their old bands. However, if that's not the case, M.T. Bearington makes driving psych-pop music that's sure to get under your skin and make a home in your head.
La Strada - These guys make undeniably charming pop music that's a little chamber pop, a little indie pop, and a whole lotta fun. Look for an LP from these guys this spring from us.
The Fictional West - Limited by their non-fictional surroundings, these New Haven natives decided to combine their varied interests in indie pop, 80s new wave sounds and satirical themes.
