sad girl EP (Color)

Purchase includes 12"x12" art print signed by Sasha Sloan, exclusively available from Newbury Comics. After emerging last fall writing and appearing on several high-profile collaborations, Boston's own rising singer-songwriter Sasha Sloan released her debut single “Ready Yet” and has amassed over 10.4 million Streams on Spotify alone. Since then, she’s established herself as an artist to watch as she continues to release emotionally-rich, left-of-center pop such as her first release of 2018, “Normal.”, which was heralded by Billboard as a “catchy introvert anthem,”. Both “Ready Yet” and “Normal” are among the six tracks featured on Sasha’s debut EP, sad girl, Along with “Ready Yet” and “Normal,” sad girl features the string-drenched “Fall,” the heart wrenching ballad “Here,” the equally vulnerable yet optimistic “Hurt,” and “Runaway.” “Runaway,” as Complex put it, “finds Sloan pouring her soul out over a melancholic backdrop as she deals with heartbreak.” “I wanted to put out a blueprint for who I am with this EP, because I’m still figuring it out. It’s definitely been scary at times, but it’s also been exciting to share these songs and hear how people relate to them,” Sasha says. Album includes a digital download.

Back To Nebraska Exclusive EP

A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing. Vinyl ships with an autographed postcard. When Boston alt-rock band Letters To Cleo split after 10 years, 3 albums, and thousands of tour miles together, it was at the behest of a pact that singer Kay Hanley and guitarist Greg McKenna made with each other when they started the band in 1990. “We said that we’d stop doing it when we weren’t having fun anymore.” says Hanley. “I had just had a baby, (lead guitarist) Michael Eisenstein and (drummer) Stacy Jones were recording and touring with Veruca Salt’s Nina Gordon, (bassist) Scott Riebling was crazy in demand as a record producer, and I know it was frustrating to Greg to be in the shitty position of doing all the work to try and keep the ball rolling. It felt hard all of a sudden, and I hated that feeling.” Now, for the first time in 17 years, Hanley, Eisenstein, Jones, and McKenna have written and recorded five brand new songs for this EP. All 5 songs are instantly recognizable Cleo concoctions that fans will devour. From Eisenstein’s fierce, angular guitars locking horns with Jones’ roaring locomotive rhythm on “Hitch A Ride” to McKenna and Hanley’s signature melodic ESP on “Good Right Here”, the Cleo bandmates are in prizefighter form. Staying true to the chemistry that defined their muscular pop sound throughout the 90’s was key to Cleo’s new venture. “It feels completely unforced. It sounds like classic Cleo. But at the same time, there’s nothing nostalgic about it.”, says
