Coolhand Jax 'No Dreams of Anything' [SG29] EP Review

September 18, 2020 • Coolhand Jax

Written by Saachi Gupta, of The Luna Collective

Described as a “psych-pop capsule”, Coolhand Jax's debut EP No Dreams of Anything transcends the boundaries of his previous music as it reflects upon the neglected beauty of freedom, fun and idleness.

The recording project of 22-year-old Jake Weissman, Coolhand Jax only began in 2019 — but has already carved a place for himself in the musical scene. Weissman has since moved from Massachusetts to Los Angeles and is working on creating infectious tunes that flawlessly encapsulate his feelings.

Shimmertraps 'LOOK!' [SG28] Album Review

June 19, 2020 • Shimmertraps

To call Shimmertraps a band would be an understatement. Their music, stunningly colorful, mind-numbingly textured, and blissfully unpredictable, feels more akin to a performance art piece, a full-body deep-dive into an otherworldly atmosphere. While their 2017 debut album Ozius proved their initial skill in fuzzy, introspective lo-fi with hazy, intimate vocals to match, LOOK!, the Washington-based group’s sophomore album, instead shows a distinct and brilliant evolution for the group, every moment bursting with disco-inspired, glitchy multi-dimensional synth pop, radiating with equal parts intrigue and whimsy.
