Jade Hairpins – Harmony Avenue
Merge Records
Jade Hairpins sneaked onto the scene in late 2018 with a mysterious 12-inch on Merge Records and a couple of poetic sentences about hiding in trees.
The label remained tight-lipped while touting Dose Your Dreams, a truly epic new album released on the same day. Fast forward to 2020, when drummer Jonah Falco and songwriter/guitarist Mike Haliechuk burst out of the proverbial trees with Harmony Avenue, a collection of songs written and recorded in real time.
Pop foraging with analog acoustics and electronic landscaping.
The album’s themes mostly focus on contradictory behavior and double entendres as well as regret and control, revelation, support, and complete absurdity.
Jade Hairpins are here to challenge, confound, and sparkle their way into listeners’ hearts and keep them coming back for more.
Tracks include: J Terrapin, (Don’t Break My) Devotion, Father Coin, Yesterdang, Post No Bill, Broadstairs Beach, Dolly Dream, Mary Magazine, Truth Like a Mirage, Motherman.

C418 – Minecraft Volume Beta
Ghostly Int’L Records
As C418, composer and producer Daniel Rosenfeld designs sounds to resonate in both physical and pixelated realms.
Best known for his original soundtracks to Minecraft, the single best-selling video game of all time, he’s developed a discography of instrumental music over the last decade that traverses electronic pop patterns, neo-classical dreamscapes, and sparse ambient motifs.
The latter element has broken from the “8-bit” pigeonholing of game music and earned him accolades that reference artists like Erik Satie (The Guardian) and Brian Eno (VICE).
For the legion of listeners and players to, at long last, have Minecraft Volume Beta in tangible formats.
The double LP arrives on standard black and fire splatter colored vinyl, available in regular sleeves as well an exclusive limited-edition jacket with a lenticular cover which gives depth and movement to its 3D-rendered image.
Tracks include: Ki, Alpha, Blind Spots, Mutation, Biome Fest, Aria Math, Taswell, Beginning 2, Moog City 2, The End, Kyoto, Chirp, Mellohi, Stal, Eleven, Far, Intro.
