We’re less than a week away from the final 80/35. We’ve got a lot on our minds going into this one – so instead of a lineup preview, we’re giving our thoughts on the state of the festival as a whole.

🗣️ Andrew Hoyt’s (@andrewhoytmusic) album release show is Friday, June 2nd!

To celebrate the release of Hoyt’s new album ‘Fine’, we had him on PFW to talk the show, the record, the colabs, and more.

What better way to get back on that review grind than to cover every genre ever? 🐸

Kyler Boss’ ‘Omnitone’ is another exploration of classical, jazz, electronic, djent, and everything in between.

@NateT93 The world may not be ready for 5+ hours of Chasey incoherently berating everyone about “dynamics” and “sauce factor.”

Pictoria Vark jokes that she’s “the Carmen Sandiego of indie-rock.” The songs on her excellent debut ‘The Parts I Dread’ take her from Brooklyn streets to Iowa prairies.
