Tweefort grew too big for their britches, so they gave themselves a reboot and upgrade. Welcome February Records. I'm mad that I'm being reminded about February at the beginning of summer, but otherwise, cheers for the fresh start!
Current releases from February:
Musical Postcards by Bourgeois Heroes: This duo based in Northampton Mass., plays '60s-inspired mod and baroque-pop gems. You've probably heard Jason Bourgeois as part of the Rub Wrongways Caravan of Stars.
New Lives by The Cavemen Go: We're glad to have gotten our hands on the first full-length release from this New Haven/Boston/NYC pop outfit. If you haven't gotten a copy of this yet, what are you waiting for?
Call It Art by The Month of June: Here's a free single for you from CT-native Michael Murphy who was part of the pop outfit Manchester By The Sea. There's three fuzzy, pop gems here.
Great Expectations by Birds of California: Here's another free single from this Mass.-based pop band which features members of Lunchbox and Boyracer.You can also still download the free offerings from Onward Chariots, The Fictional West and Women's Basketball, as well as both Tweefort comps.
