Little Oso album release with Greasy Grass, Spirit Ghost, and Snake Lips

Little Oso is a dreampop band from Portland, Maine. They blend layers of sparkly guitar sounds with shimmering vocals and upbeat tempos to make you want to dance or get under a blanket… or dance under a blanket. Their new LP How Lucky To Be Somebody is due out January 17th on Repeating Cloud.

Greasy Grass is a psychedelic pop band from Portland, Maine, USA. Their music is a shifting combination of unbridled psychedelia, vintage saccharine softness, hypnotic garage groove, karaoke bar melodrama, razor sharpness, effortless passivity, warm electronics, changing structures, and film score grandiosity. Though initially amorphous, the duo have enlisted a full, proper band for live performances and are working on a debut full-length album to follow their 2021 EP Abject Luxuria.

Spirit Ghost is the Providence via Austin 4-piece garage-rock outfit based led by Alex Whitelaw. The band curates nostalgic classic tones/songwriting born out of the ’50s and ’60s garage rock era, and ultimately fuses innovative contemporary elements. Spirit Ghost emanates something familiar to fans of early rock and roll, while maintaining a surf rock, lo-fi edge.

Snake Lips is an indie rock band out of Portland, Maine. Created by vocalist and guitarist Cody Mitchell, Snake Lips features a rotating line up backing musicians, including Pete Caradonna on drums, Tom Cook on bass, and Sam Ellis on guitar. Evergreen (2020), the band’s first album, is a DIY-release influenced by Mitchell’s love of DIIV and Alvvays. Melt the Sun (2021), a collaborative EP release by Maine label Repeating Cloud and the New York-based Totally Real Records, features skittery, up-tempo punk songs, while Mitchell approaches his subject matter with his trademark self-deprecating humor. Snake Lips released full-length Happy Anxious in 2022, showcasing a darker side of Mitchell’s songwriting, but maintaining the core punk-inspired song structures and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. All of Snake Lips’ albums have been recorded in Mitchell’s home studio.
