Since 1989, Oakland-based Slumberland Records has cornered the market on hazy fuzz-pop. In the past decade alone, the label has released albums from the likes of the Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Weekend and the Crystal Stilts. Now, Slumberland is putting out full-lengths featuring three of indie rock's most talented female musicians. Get to know them below.
Neverever
Shake-a-Baby, out now
Neverever lead singer Jihae Meek radiates pouty, vintage style and possesses the gold-plated vocals to match. On the album's standout track "Wedding Day," Meek croons like Ronnie Spector fronting Cheap Trick.
Frankie Rose
Interstellar, out now
Between stints in the Vivian Girls and the Crystal Stilts, and leading her own band the Outs, Frankie Rose knows her way around scuzzed-out pop. Her solo debut boasts a cleaner sheen, showcasing her instinct for innocent melodies and earworm hooks.
Allo Darlin'
Europe, out Apr. 17
Australian chanteuse Elizabeth Morris turned Allo Darlin' into a full band after playing solo for several years, and now the group's second album Europe is ready to drop stateside. On "Capricornia," Morris recalls the ethereal, insouciant guitar pop of the Vaselines.
