Congratulations to the Oakland based sound experimentalist and performer, RZN8R for winning The Deli Magazine San Francisco‘s artist of the month poll! RZN8TR stands out from the rest and puts an interesting spin on electronic music! We dig listening to what he comes up with from track to track.

We wish this local artist all the best in his future endeavors!

San Francisco based musician, Jared Cohen has released a new EP entitled, Counting Up the Years. Cohen went more alternative and heavier with this new release after creating more electro-folk songs in the past. That’s alright, change is good. You can be the judge and listen to a couple of singles from the new album below!

Oakland based singer/songwriter, Ghost Town Jenny (Kym Kylland along with her great band) has outdone her with the new music video, Lights. This romantically fluid video is touched with glamour and sorrow as it is an appropriate motion picture to bring to life the equally elegant single. We like it when local artists really put time into their productions and this music video is well crafted and was directed by artist, Samantha Shay.

Check it out and give a listen to Ghost Town Jenny’s debut EP, Golden Hour.

The San Francisco based shoegaze band, Balms has released their debut self titled EP. The album is euphoric and we definitely consider them to be one of the best underground bands in town.

The album was mixed and recorded by Balms throughout the better part of the year. Their debut single, Golden Hair got a lot of attention this summer and we’re excited to share the final manifestation of the entire album. Give Balms EP your close attention and care, we think this album will make it to your regular rotation. Purchase a digital copy if you can. Support independent bands!

San Francisco based self proclaimed "moon rock" band, Feather-Bright has released their debut self titled album today. The album’s sound is full and bellowing and encompasses the pretty voice of lead singer, Carly Patterson. The space folk sound which includes the lovely addition of a cello that brings a great layer of atmosphere and character to the music. Feather-Bright has put out a satisfying record and you should check it out.

If you like The Decemberists, Cat Power and other other-worldly sounding electro acoustic bands, you’ll dig Feather-Bright.

San Francisco based sound artist, Woolymammoth has released a new single entitled, Falling. The song is lovely, I really like it, but I had to read his press release over a couple of times before I actually connected in my mind that he has collaborated with his "alter ego", Cast. I’m going to go with it because this EDM style experimental track is well produced and touchingly strange. You should get into Woolymammoth and Cast.

See which one of the egos you like best and ride the musical wave as far as your heart desires. –je

San Francisco based pop band, Panic is Perfect has released a new single. Their new song Go Go Go is an elaborate recording that is full of energy and personality. This new track is the first single from the band’s upcoming EP. Details will be announced by the band super soon.

Until then, you should check out this track. It’s not garage, but you know The Deli is all about sharing different types of music with our readers and listeners. No two bands are exactly alike! Enjoy!

Producer/singer, RZN8R (Derek Buckwalter) will be gracing the Oakland venue, Warehouse 416 with his innovative and highly entertaining electro hip hop music.

If you’re in Oakland, head out and do something different this weekend. Oakland Art Murmur has put together a collective of over 40 art galleries and highlights great artists and events in and around the East Bay. This Friday will be First Friday, an art tradition where art galleries open their doors and show off their exhibitions to the local community.

Check out RZN8R’s performance at Warehouse 416 on November 7th and dig all the art that will be housed there! It’s cool to see musicians playing different types of independent venues and spaces.

Congratulations to the San Francisco based soulful indie pop band, Ivory Arrows. We really like their music! It’s gentle, sexy and awesome. They’re a hardworking local band and we’re so excited that their fans and our readers agree that they should take this honor!

We wish Ivory Arrows success in their future musical endeavors! Support local music!
