Video by Ghostdad. Ride Lonesome is coming June 26 on Driftless...

Leanne Macomber + Joel Ford share the poignant, ultra-modern breakup song/opening track from the beautiful new Young Ejecta LP Ride Lonesome, coming next month on Driftless Recordings...

Shapeshifting Lexington producer Ellie Herring is set to return this month with the highly banging new 3-song EP The Limits, complete with sick cover art illustrated by Ellie herself, due June 22nd via Driftless Recordings. We're psyched to unveil the first track from the record, the propulsive techno jammer "Forward Motion", and the song's vibrant, psychedelic accompanying animated visu

Getting some serious vintage nature doc/educational filmstrip nostalgia from this meditative gem from Barry Walker's glorious new record Diaspora Urkontinent, coming soon via our friends at Driftless. Walker's gentle, ambient "tectonic pedal steel" elicits some super dreamy and soothing exotica vibes, and the chill is only enhanced by this beautiful old footage of waves, surfers, and var

Leanne Macomber + Joel Ford released the most epic Young Ejecta jam yet over the summer, and now they're dropping an extremely limited Build A Fire 12" featuring two inspired remixes of the soaring track -- including a beautiful, spacey re-imagining by Ford's regular collaborator Napolian + a pulsing dancefloor re-work by Ellie Herring, each taking Macomber's heartrending plea to entirely dif

"Good Night" is a beautifully languid ambient lullaby from young Amarillo guitarist Hayden Pedigo, taken from his gorgeous new record Greetings From Amarillo, which he cal

Very psyched to announce that we've teamed up with Driftless, Our House, and Nine Mile to present this full day/evening of amazing artists on Thursday of SXSW at the Ginger Man. Featuring live sets from Hand Habits, She-Devils, Juanita Stein, Forgotten Species, Hayden Pedigo, and Matt Kivel during the day, and DJ sets from Airbird, Ellie Herring, CFCF, and Baltra at night...

We're extremely psyched to have Lexington, Kentucky producer Ellie Herring running things here on the site today. As we've already mentioned, Ellie's new EP rules, and it's officially out today on Driftless, so listen to that below, and hang out here with Ellie as she shares some of her favorite tracks throughout the day.

Lexington, Kentucky producer Ellie Herring never makes the same move twice. Whether this constant state of flux is deliberate or simply the function of an inherent adventurous/restless streak (I suspect it's the latter), Herring's shapeshifting fluidity and apparent perpetual motion have made her one of the most exciting and versatile young dance music producers around...
