Gary War

"Soundtrack to the middle of the end of all things. As if someone were to make a field recording of Michael MacDonald's time-share burning to the ground. A survivalist murdock champion who's out there somewhere...with a blue vest, a carton of Marlboros, extra socks, Clif bars, and a fully-functioning, factory-installed cassette player blaring pristine recordings of Keith David's voice."

The Rifle Volunteer

The band met touring with previous musical outfits on the hardcore and noise circuit. Having trawled Europe’s countless venues these projects came to what can only now be described as an inevitable end. Spurred on by a mutual disdain for an increasingly shallow medium, the band began writing together in 2007. Wistfully uniting dark melodies, poetic lyrics and group harmonies the band produce an intense and broody brand of pop which reflects their current musical standpoint as well as their vision for the future.

Julia Holter

Julia Shammas Holter is a classically-trained keytarist from Echo Park. After infiltrating Human Ear Music headquarters dressed as an intern, she wrote and recorded her own release on the label. Her music is witty, surreal and optimistic. She plays without sarcasm in the terrains that divide sentimentality, passion, and control. Her songs are written instinctively, and treated with an off-kilter fastidiousness, working orchestral variety from minimal instrumentation.
