We are beyond excited to announce our new endeavor Luminelle Recordings, a record label formed in collaboration with Fat Possum/House Arrest. We couldn't be any more psyched about our first signing, the amazing Helena Deland, a special Montreal artist you will be hearing a lot from / falling in love with in 2018...

To commemorate the proper official release of their first 3 tapes on Fat Possum, the HOOPS boys share the previously unreleased VHS visuals for one of the tracks that got us into the band in the first place, Tape #2 highlight "4U", filmed at Drew Auscherman's house during the recording of the tape:

Hoops' Routines remains one of our favorite records of 2017, but our intro to the group's warm and breezy guitar pop came via Drew Auscherman's beloved youtube-classic Tapes releases in late 2015 and early 2016. Those catchy, endearingly warped lo-fi jams will always hold a special place in our hearts, so we're psyched to hear the news that all three Tapes are finally getting the proper vinyl rele

Bloomington's Hoops share the video for their blissed-out new single "On Top", one of the many highlights from the group's forthcoming debut LP Routines. The gently warped and sweetly inspirational Kevin Krauter-penned jam gets a fitting vintage VHS public access vibe, courtesy of director Jake Huber...

Bloomington's Hoops share the first glimpse at their stellar forthcoming debut LP Routines, and the group stays pretty true-to-form in the best possible way with the typically melodic, blissed-out and easy guitar pop gem "Rules", which I believe floated around in solo demo form for a bit last year...

Psyched to premiere the new EP from Bloomington's Permit, the new project from Jack Andrew and the prolific Drew Auscherman of Hoops. The duo makes blistering, super infectious, feel-good lo-fi garage-pop/punk rippers -- think “Thin Lizzy, but twice as fast”, in the band's own words -- that feel like fleeting, sub-2:00 bursts of hazy sunshine that never overstay their welcome...

Austin folk singer/songwriter Adam Torres debuts the beautifully surreal video for "Some Beast Will Find You By Name", a foreboding, achingly melancholy ballad taken from his new LP Pearls To Swine, out now on Fat Possum. Watch the haunting, fever-dreamlike visuals, directed by Brian Wiebe, below, and check all of the dates for Adam Torres' fall U...

Fat Possum continues its winning streak of late (see that new Hoops EP) with the announcement of the magical, genre-defying debut LP from hyper-talented multi-instrumentalist and possible time traveller from the future Kadhja Bonet. The absurdly beautiful “Honeycomb” has an instantly familiar, blissfully vintage psychedelic soul vibe that could disarm even the most jaded of cratediggers, but there

Hoops unveil another absolute gem from their forthcoming self-titled EP, due later this month on Fat Possum: Listen to the dreamily wistful "Gemini", which the band intended to be "a sort of dramatic Fleetwood Mac sounding thing", below + pre-order the EP here:

"Cool 2 was one of the first songs we wrote for the EP. We like it because it is short, but it also represents what we want to do as a band. We tried to create an atmosphere around a short chord progression."
