Here are some picks for this Bandcamp Friday! Bandcamp is one of the better way to support artists online. On Bandcamp Fridays, even more of the money you spend goes to the musicians.

• Crayola Eyes – Gushing (2023) Psychedelic shoe-gaze from Jakarta, Indonesia. Props to my friend, Phillip, for introducing them to me.
• Hot Pink Sauce – “Feel” (2024) Emma Anderson of Lush/Sing-Sing brought this dreamy single to my attention. Looking forward to hearing more from this British duo.
• Gladie – Don’t Know What You’re In Until You’re Out (2022) Garage rock from Philadelphia.
• Girl Ray – Prestige (2023) British band’s ode to the TV show Pose. Fun dance pop. Apple Music describes it as “disco escapism.” I get the ear worm bop “Everybody’s Saying That” stuck in my head constantly.
• Black Cross Hotel – Hex (2022) Darkwave industrial from Chicago.
• The Morelings – Same Century (2017) Ethereal pop. Recommended if you like Cocteau Twins or Siddal.
• Lovina Falls – Calculating the Angle of Our Descent (2023) This debut ranked as one of my top albums of 2023. Glistening dream-pop from Boston’s Valerie Forgione (formerly of Mistle Thrush).
• Sprints – Letter to Self (2024) I already know that this Irish band’s debut is gonna be one of my faves of 2024. It has the energy of a Sleater-Kinney album. Frenetic, guitar-driven, and a pinch of pop.
