Singer-songwriter Lillian King released her debut album, In Your Long Shadow, on Friday, October 24th, via Pronounced Kroog. The album was written in the aftermath of her father's passing and reflects on themes of grief, family, and the depression that can accompany loss. Across ten songs, Lillian draws inspiration from quiet meditations during walks, old rivers, and the strange comfort found in repetition. Her delivery is marked by a voice that is both strikingly soulful and understated.

The album highlights Lilian's talent as a songwriter, making it a deeply personal project. After years of performing in basements in Montreal to solo sets across the United States and North America, these experiences have helped her hone her skills, bringing her career to the brink of wider recognition.

 Spencer Krug, whose label Pronounced Kroog took Lillian under its wing after a chance tour pairing in 2024. has been key to this next chapter of Lilian's life. Known for pushing the boundaries of indie music through Wolf Parade and Sunset Rubdown, Krug’s support brings credibility to In Your Long Shadow. It’s Lillian’s voice, combined withRobert Salazar’s rhythms, Nick DePrey’s keys, and Jack's production.

The focus track “Shadow” is the heart of the album: a soft, aching song about moving through grief with grace and ritual. Alongside earlier singles “Tiber Creek” and “Echo,” it rounds out a record that moves between folk ballads and full-band arrangements. Fans of Sharon Van Etten, Big Thief, and Mount Eerie will hear echoes here—but Lillian carves her own path, blending indie-folk textures with the natural storytelling instincts of someone who grew up around words and music.


With In Your Long Shadow, Lillian King delivers a quietly stunning debut, an album full of depth, grace, and understated power. It’s the start of something much bigger: a career that promises not just great records, but the kind of connection that keeps listeners coming back.

  Written by Anselm Anderson Texan rock trio Little King has returned with their eighth studio album, Lente Viviente , which is their most progressive and ambitious work to date. The release was recorded a few months back in Arizona , marking the first time the band have recorded outside their native Texas. The band has made some personnel changes since their last outing six years ago. Drummer Tony Bojorquez joins guitarist and vocalist Ryan Rossoff , along with bassist and cellist David Hamilton , to record this seven-track release. The album draws similarities to prog rock icons Rush and Genesis while presenting a fresh and original approach. It sounds as though the band has undergone some serious soul-searching over those years. The album title Lente Viviente  roughly translates to "Living Lens," a play on words of Rossoff's Video Memoir Production company, LivingLens Memoirs . It examines the balance between truth and perception, featuring thought-provoking lyrics...

The All-American Rejects share new single "Eggshell Dancer", Ahead of New Album

Photo Credit: Josiah Sampson   Edited by Anselm Anderson The All-American Rejects have released their latest track, ' Eggshell Tap Dancer , ' ahead of February's album release. The track continues the indie-leaning direction they explored with ' Search Party, '  blending pop sensibility with the band’s signature pop-rock power. Vocalist Tyson Ritter explains about the song,  “‘Eggshell Tap Dancer’ is about performing tenderness until your feet bleed. The character in the song is tiptoeing around someone who probably stopped listening three exits ago, but he’s still there — pulling rabbits out of hats, making balloon animals out of his own arteries. In the end, I think it’s a love song written for someone who’s just detached from the world and madly in love with obsession.” The band is currently on an arena tour with the Jonas Brothers and is having arguably the biggest year of their career. They have experienced a significant resurgence, attracting a new generat...
