Tim Cohen's Magic Trick is set to release the new full-length "Ruler of the Night," due out on June 12th via Hardly Art, as the follow-up to Cohen’s debut as Magic Trick "The Glad Birth of Love" album (Empty Cellar Records, 2011). In the beginning Magic Trick started as a solo project by Tim Choen, the lead singer and co-songwriter for The Fresh & Onlys, now the Magic Trick band comprises of Noelle Cahill (Sweet Chariot), Alicia Vanden Heuvel (Aislers Set), James Kim (The Court & Spark, Kelley Stoltz band).




Taken from the A-side of 7" single (SEXBEAT, 2011), The Fresh & Onlys has almost finished the new full-length, their fourth LP for Mexican Summer. It was recorded at Lucky Cat Studios with producer/engineer Phil Manley (Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo, Les Savy Fav, Grass Widow).

Wymond Miles' debut EP

Wymond Miles (of The Fresh & Onlys) has released his solo debut EP "Earth Has Doors" via Sacred Bones Records. 'Hidden Things Are Asking You To Find Them' is the first track from that EP. And The Fresh & Onlys' new album, as their follow-up to last year's " Play It Strange,"  will be released this spring via Mexican Summer.

"Four years ago Wymond Miles, guitar player and songwriter in San Francisco’s The Fresh & Onlys, began writing solo material thematically based on the concepts of eschatology, anthroposophy, and Gnostic and Hermetic symbolism. Drawing from a vast musical pool of inspiration, including Scott Walker, Robert Wyatt, Arvo Part, and Nikki Sudden amongst others, Earth Has Doors is Miles’ first solo release." ---Sacred Bones Records

The Sandwitches - Summer of Love

The Sandwitches - Summer of Love


"Imagine a 60's Girl-group is on tour and their van breaks down near a gothic castle high on the hill, Dario Argento invites them in to perform a concert for his tweaked actors in a big dark red room inside and, if the dream is right, it’s the Sandwitches - they'd fit right in with those misfits and speak the same language. I'd like to be there to dance. Close your eyes and you'll see what I mean. These are fab, haunting tunes wrapped in tender weird pop. That's what we got here. A heavy party you want to hang out at."   Kelley Stoltz 


'Summer of Love' is taken from The Sandwitches' new 7" single (b/w My Teddy) which is due out on November 30th via 1-2-3-4 Go! Records, pre-order is available now, here.
