Pterodactyl – Arnold’s Park
SOUNGS 003 – Cassette (11/2011)
Arnold’s Park explores Pterodactyl’s more psychedelic terrain, redefining the band’s abrasive roots with electronic ambience and extraterrestrial harmonies, building expansive songs out of intimate soundscapes.

The album is available as a limited-edition cassette with silk-screened artwork & download code, and as a digital download.

Daniel Francis Doyle – There Are Two of You
SOUNGS 002 – 7″ single (10/2010)
Developing upon last year’s ambitious album We Bet Our Money on You [We Shot JR], Daniel harnesses his looped guitar squalls, tumbling drumbeats, and soft croon into “There Are Two of You”, his most endearing and skewed pop song yet. Backed with the roaring “Sharing Stories”, this single is both a snapshot of a man reaching his potential and a portent of great things to come.

Mittens on Strings – Let’s Go to Baba’s
SOUNGS 001 – 12″ album (09/2009)
Sophomore full length (and fifth release overall) from this Chicago quintet “contrasts moody chamber-pop with a hedonistic edge. The record swims in distorted guitars and cascading spirals of psychedelic sound, while lyrics explore both everyday mundanity and the extraordinary.” (Time Out Chicago)
