WATERS

We here at The Bay Bridged get exposed to loads of new music everyday, and although we’d love to highlight everything that merits recognition, that just isn’t always possible.

Van Pierszalowski’s project WATERS is now a five-piece that includes two members of The Tambo Rays (Brian DaMert and Greg Sellin), and the band is set for its second release, an EP entitled It All Might Be OK due out October 14 on Vagrant Records. This week, Pierszalowski and company started streaming a second track off that upcoming release, a dandy called “I Feel Everything”:

Bay Area underground legend Chuck Prophet‘s twelfth studio album Night Surfer drops next Tuesday, and he’s streaming it in its entirety via YouTube:

San Francisco-based songstress Ash Reiter quietly started streaming a very chill cover of the Bob Seger classic “Night Moves”, featuring several guest artists including Matt Adams of The Blank Tapes:

Clipd Beaks released a new track via Cincinnati’s Heligator Records, and every dollar spent goes directly to the Malindza Refugee Camp Library in Mpaka, Swaziland.

Finally, self-proclaimed “San Francisco boy band” Hot Flash Heat Wave released “Jacuzzi”, the first single off their upcoming debut album recorded with Grace Coleman at Different Fur and mixed by Niels Pederson. Listen via Bandcamp:
