Wednesday Is For (Pun) Lovers

Today's #WIFL selections feature a pair of post-genre bands with names that feature clever wordplay. First up we have Sad Baxter, the Nashville duo and Berklee alums who craft sardonically sludgy grunge pop. If "Shut Up and Kiss Me" and "Celebrity Skin" had a love-hate child who wandered the Appalachian Trail down to Tennessee, you might experience something not unlike their single "Baby". Their EP So Happy drops July 20 on Cold Lunch Recordings.

Next up we have DC's own Ménage À Garage, a punk pop trio crafting wordy, occasionally absurd, treatises on life in the nation's capital and across the universe. "Take It As It Comes", which not coincidentally was their Tiny Desk Contest entry this past year, is the leadoff single from their forthcoming EP More Human Than You. Jangly guitars and singsong vocals anoint this band as a spiritual successor of that Dischord post-punk sound, as well as the genre-defying rock of bands like the Weak…

Wednesday Is For (Side Project) Lovers

Today's choices for our ongoing Hump Day series, Wednesday Is For Lovers, we have a pair of new projects by artists better known as members of other groups. First up is "Tick-Tock (Frontrunner)" Frontperson, a collaboration between Kathryn Calder of The New Pornographers and Mark Andrew Hamilton of Woodpigeon.

Their indie folk evinces the trademark ethereality of Calder's solo work, with the vocal interplay between her and Hamilton reminiscent of Sam Beam and Jesca Hoop. Whether intentional or not, the backwards track meet motif of the video recalls Kierkegaard's claim that life must be lived forward but understood in hindsight.

Frontperson's Frontrunner comes out September 21 on Calder's own Oscar St. Records.

Next up we have Season 1: Kuiper, the first full-length from Endless Winter. This is a solo project of Color Palette guitarist Joshua Hunter. While it shares some of Color Palette's drone-y psychedelic elements, this album takes the listener do…
