Salt Lake Alley Announce Always Out of Time
A ton of new music popped up on Friday, and since I was lecturing my students the whole day, I didn’t have time to cover the vast amount of great jams that made their way into the world. But, I’m circling back through emails and such, and here’s a batch of classic indiepop from Sweden’s Salt Lake Alley.

We’ve been running spotlights on SXSW artists, so you’ve got tunes from Logan Lynn, Grant Pavol and Elephant Stone, hoping it’ll catch your eye and get you to check out the interviews. Our friends in Good Looks dropped a new tune, plus we’ve got absolute rippers from Bodega and Dehd, plus some cool shit under the radar from Star Party, Salt Lake Alley, Red Pants and Howless.
