STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"'Bundled Up Blues' sounds like the story of terrible things that occurred so long ago that laughing about it is not only permitted but encouraged. It’s a joyful, playful sound built on the blues." This from Alt77 on this crackerjack of a tune by Alberta & The Dead Eyes!
I will never get tired of thoughtful takes on music that I represent. For me, it is never about the outlet, it is about the writer.

Hello! Look, I can't keep praising The High Water Marks all of the time or you’ll be like, "Josh, you're their publicist. We need an objective point of view!"
Fair.
Here's what Will at We All Want Someone To Shout For says today about the first two singles from the upcoming 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘭𝘧 (out June 9 on Minty Fresh): "Wicked good... All the best elements of charming 90s power pop... in all the ways you'd expect from a band involving Hilarie Sidney, the co-founder of iconic Elephant 6 Recording Company. Sugary vocals, tight guitar riffs, and an infectious presence that simply soars."
That's it, there it is!
Now you can use your eyes to listen to the new single by The High Water Marks! Watch "An Imposed Exile" during your "work" hours!
Nathan at Austin Town Hall says: “I’m all about the execution of perfect pop... the melodic nature of the vocals galloping atop those fuzzy jangling guitars is just absolutely sublime."
Hilarie says: "It was a big year for us because we all got to record in Kentucky together and we played our first show together in Oslo with Pavement. I wanted to make a video with us in it and this one is like our greatest hits of 2022."
𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘞𝘰𝘭𝘧 (17 tracks!) is out June 9 from Minty Fresh.
If you want your brain taken over by an earworm, I am offering you this opportunity!
As Joshua Pickard writes in Beats Per Minute: "Trouble From The East" by The High Water Marks is a "rocker of sustainable emotional malleability, using blissed-out guitar riffs and pop-centric harmonies to examine the impact of war and nuclear annihilation. Calling Norway home, the band knows firsthand about the perceived threat of violence from just across geographical lines."

Chris J. Norwood might not be “cool,” according to himself at least, but Fair Shakes And Just Desserts says he and his wife Carrie make “simple, honest, beautiful music.” Link in bio to the review of single “I Need You (To Quit Breaking My Heart),” which the site compares to Jonathan Richman, Marshall Crenshaw, and The Smithereens. The full LP is due August 20 from State Fair Records.
