With an emphasis on fostering creativity and artistic expression, the label continues to provide a platform for promising artists to reach wider audiences.

The Smashing Times, psychedelic twee freakbeat from a Baltimore basement, are back with Bloom, their sophomore album, where they explode with a sound that’s pulling from ‘60s jangly guitars, kiwi poppers and paisley underground revivalists all at once.

Instruments played by humans, bare feet touching the ground. Wrinkled button downs, sweaters filled with holes, music audibly and sometimes visibly made by humans. Can you change the strings on your guitar? Maybe, can you buy me dinner? Lock up your Rickenbackers, Thee Jasmine Monk is coming to town, can they stay on your couch?&nbsp;
