STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"''Nobody' is gorgeous, dreamy guitar pop," says BrooklynVegan. I couldn't agree more (though I disagree with the criticism of the name Fuckleberry Hinn).
Stream it on your favorite profile here. The band’s 22-track debut 𝘕𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳/𝘕𝘰𝘳 arrives September 1.
I love "Nobody" by Norwegian band Fuckleberry Hinn for the exact reasons that Jeff at Treble states in his premiere of the song this morning:
"A gorgeously dreamy indie pop gem that finds a middle ground between the intricate melancholy of Elliott Smith (note the name of their album 𝘕𝘦𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 / 𝘕𝘰𝘳) and the psychedelic whimsy of the Elephant 6 collective. It’s rich in gorgeous layers of sound, thick organs whirring beneath jangly guitars and bittersweet vocals."

Legendary journalist Greil Marcus stays true to his reputation as a scholar of modern rock’s intersection with rock history when noting in a 2019 Rolling Stone column that “some of the same dirt rubbed off” in regard to how Seattle foursome Loose Wing picked up mess from fellow Emerald City singer Merilee Rush, best-known for her 1968 hit “Angel of the Morning.”
Loose Wing hasn’t cleaned up completely since its critically praised debut album — “Loose Wing are serving as an example that the area’s still got it,” says UPROXX. Instead the band, led by songwriter Claire Tucker, has further focused its pounding and present sound via the upcoming Miracle Baby (Nov. 10, Drums & Wires Recordings.)
The colorful washes of My Bloody Valentine, the unflinching sensitivity of Elliott Smith, and the unimpeachable idealism of Fugazi mix with innocent wonder on the sprawling 22-track double-album debut by Norway’s Fuckleberry Hinn.
The DIY ethos of the Elephant 6 Collective is a production influence that underpins the commanding urgency heard on the more than half-dozen singles that the group has released to date.
Now, the eyebrow-raising wordplay of the band’s name extends to the title of Fuckleberry Hinn’s long-awaited album Neither/Nor (Sept. 1, Wonderful & Strange Records), a punny tribute to Smith’s modern classic Either/Or, a touchstone album for Fuckleberry Hinn’s founding core pair of Øysteins: Øystein Ulvund and Øystein Megård.

"Showcasing his completely original approach to crafting American music" is what J Hacha De Zola is doing on the new single "Do You?," premiering today over at Glide Magazine!
The song is "a full serving J Hacha De Zola’s smooth crooning and playfully mysterious approach to a love song (or anti-love song?)" and finds him "leaning into a brooding, Motown-influenced sound."
The new album 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘈 𝘛𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘦 (J's sixth) is out June 9 via his Caballo Negro label distributed by Slow Start / Burnside / The Orchard.
Milly Raccoons’s take on Nashville is all over the upcoming Frankincense and Myrrh, arriving July 7. The album exists in the Nashville of now where messages of spirituality and liberation are more vital than ever.
Milly delivers her songs with a gauzy, dream-like, and poignant touch that is so easy on the ears (think Nora Jones or Iris DeMent) that it is easy to forget that Milly is telling us something we need to hear.
