Yes, track number 3 from the proposed 44-song, 11-EP “album” Teargarden by Kaleidyscope has been released. This one, called “A Stitch in Time,” is about as left-field as the title suggests. There’s sitar over acoustic indie-pop flair, as well as swirls of guitar here and there that float around the simple ditty. Think the lighter [...]

I’ve really just recently come across Casey Dienel’s (aka White Hinterland) work, but I can say I’m well already within her [...]
