CONVINCED FRIEND is the project of Providence-based Songwriter A.S. Wilson. Recorded at Big Nice Studios, their self-titled album (Released November '22 with Relief Map Records) embraced members of Nova One, and Burr resulting in a collection of largehearted indie rock songs that Various Small Flames has called:
"an intimate and attentive sound in the lineage of Jason Molina and David Bazan... pushing beyond the melancholic surface so common to indie rock, looking instead to explore the deep possibilities beneath."
The songs are marked by Wilson's time spent growing up in oilfield towns south of New Orleans - focused on the little indignities of love and work, with the sense of impermanence that comes with a home slowly sinking underwater.
LISA/LIZA “is the songwriting project of Liza Victoria, developed within Maine’s strange and wonderful DIY music scene. She has toured nationally with Jens Lekman and Advance Base and shared bills with Angel Olsen, Kaki King, Lucy Dacus, and Julie Byrne.
Lisa/Liza’s catalog spans ten years, with four albums on Orindal Records, a single released through Mexican Summer’s Looking Glass, and a spate of self-released home recordings. Her songwriting invites traditional folk guitar-playing and lyricism into dream-like domains, directing memory’s imperfections toward restoration and healing.” (Orindal Records)
