Salem, Oregon multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Anthony Mudrick released his TDRCO debut album Lava Party in 2017. A new single, "Footprints", followed in 2019.

Salem, Oregon's Chance Wiesner is a talented singer and creative songwriter with a flexible, versatile vocal presence which meanders in tone and vibrato from dust-covered swagger, to world-weary country lilt, to rainbow-hued Golden Gate Park folk fallout. His debut album Takin' a Chance on Love was released May 4, 2013, and his sophomore solo effort More Sauce For The Lady dropped on Halloween 2019.

A joint side project of TDRCo stalwarts Mo Douglas and Prince Joely, Good & Cool has proven themselves capable of seamlessly hopping genres in favor of laying down a solid groove with self-assured efficiency.

Human Shaped Earth is a dream-pop project helmed by Salem, Oregon songwriter Bryan Mudrick. There's three singles out on TDRCO, and another three tunes can be found on label compilation CDs.

A prolific singer, songwriter, and collaborator, Portland-based Mariya May's presence can be found all over numerous projects across the TDRCo back catalogue, in addition to her solo predilections towards penning intimate, sprawling, and dramatic indie-folk. With the playful, hummable, and at times wistfully melancholic Kiki & Mel's Drive-Time Circus, May adds yet another feather to her cap and another album to her steadily growing canon that's sure to be a shaft of sunlight through your winter window.

Paying homage to a wide variety of influences, May's songcraft is unique and textured, gently referencing while remaining a sound apart from just about anything else you may have happened across. Holding it together is her top-shelf voice, which she deftly stretches from soft, sweet, and mellow, to dramatic, full-bodied, and soulful. And lucky for you dear listener, May's vocal presence is the anchoring point for Kiki & Mel's Drive-Time Circus, doing some serious work on finely-produced covers like "Pack Up Your Sorrows" (Mimi and Richard Fariña), "New House of The Pope" (Frank Black and the Catholics), and "Nearly Lost My Mind" (from TDRCo labelmate Ryan Massad), nestled alongside well-crafted originals like "On Your Heels", "Oh No! Oh No! Oh No!", and the 2020-apt "Christmas at Broken Hearts Inn". Throughout, May's inner muse shines bright, and you'll be finding yourself wanting to give this one a second listen before heading out to dive further into her extended catalogue of quality releases.

Mo Douglas does it again, cooking up the groovy instrumental jams and bestowing upon our ears the best recipes for love, all on dog-eared pages fresh from your mama’s favorite magazines. Mo’s perfectly imperfect concoctions are hand-crafted to bring a smile to your face and open up your mind - psych, funk, soul, dub, jazz, garage rock, but most important of all a perpetual groove - swirling throughout the record as the flavors mingle. (Bryan Bruchman)

Salem, Oregon area band Nodding Tree Remedies has a magic bag of sounds emanating from all four corners of the past four or five decades of the psych-pop underground. The often large live group has many moving parts, a rotating cast of characters that come and go with the whims of the ocean tides, and like an amoeba, the ensemble constantly changes shape, picking up particles of sound as it moves along. Their albums Ultra Violet Tots and The 45th Parallel are out now on TDRCO. Best to lay back and enjoy the ride, and keep your hands and arms safely inside the windows of the Magic Bus.

Portland, Oregon musician and producer Prince Joely (Joel Rasmussen) released his debut solo album Future Smells in 2019, and its follow-up Dog Water arrived in 2024. Rasmussen has also co-produced albums like Lonely Melting Iceberg by The Red Channels, and We Got a Lot of Love by What in Your Heart Can Put You in a Trance, and has appeared as a session player on a number of recordings by TDRCo label-mates.

Reed Burnam is a multi-instrumentalist songwriter and solo artist originally from Houston, Texas. Getting his start playing in Houston bands in the 1990's, Reed moved to Austin in early 2001, where he spent nearly 25 years playing and recording with numerous projects across a spectrum of genres (Lightning Over Water, Khali Haat, The Ron Titter Band, Ouiness, Many Birthdays, Bamako Airlines), and sitting in with local stalwarts such as Daniel Johnston and Ralph White. He is also a long standing member of the global improvisational songwriters’ collective the Immersion Composition Society, as a founding member of Austin’s ‘Black Lodge’.

In late 2024, Reed relocated to Tulsa, OK, where he continues to play and record solo albums for his homegrown Redirection Records imprint. To date, he has self-produced and hand-released nearly 20 albums of original music.

In the early 2010’s, Reed began collaborating with Portland, OR-based Ten Dollar Recording Company. His TDRCo album debut, 2017's Another Switchback, was recorded in Portland with label heads Ryan Michael Block and Mariya May. Standalone single "Collected Summer" followed later that year, and in 2020 he released his second TDRCo full-length Universal Axis. His most recent TDRCo single is 2021’s “Funeral Selfie”. He is currently putting finishing touches on a new record of the same name for TDRCo, as well as tinkering with a never-ending glut of unfinished solo material. Stay tuned.

Ryan Massad is a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter from Portland, Oregon. His debut solo album Alone & Overdressed arrived in 2017, and its follow-up Weekend Room was released March 13, 2020. Throwing genre and expectation into the home recording blender, Massad is at his best when serving up a variegated spread of songs for your listening pleasure.

Organic and lo-fi throughout, Weekend Room is long on texture and mood, the assorted vocal compositions intertwining with groovy head pieces, experimental outings, and classical guitar interludes all solidly shellacked with Massad’s inborn ear for melody and experimental attitude.

Highlighting Massad’s oft road-weary take on golden-era stone washed folkie warble and fuzz country strum, Alone & Overdressed is a mellow yellow rabbit hole of texture and vibe, replete with hummable/strummable front porch ditties, classic folk run through the reverb blender, and late-night, red-eyed bedroom psych excursions.

Silvertron Youth Choir isn’t short on inanity, assembling what could at times be described as children’s music made for (and seemingly by) mightily stoned adults; a pinwheeling, day- tripping, hipping and hopping, skipping and jumping ramble through the worm hole into a range of delightfully visual and guffaw-inducing ditties tackling all manner of subjects, such as: pies made of whiskey and bacon, soda pop downloading computer programs for rednecks, water spider birds on the tundra, philosophical mayonnaise, peanut butter trains, cosmic hybrid creatures riding forklifts, pamplemooses, and, as a lyrical coup-de-grace of sorts, Justin Bieber mounted triumphantly atop a giant rodent. (Reed Burnam)

Sounding Lovely! by Portland's otherworldly Step Into The Kitchen is a perception-altering adventure, not to be taken lightly. Groovy, head-nodding sonic harmonia is underpinned by a seamless mixture of dub, R&B, and psychedelic haze that drips off every track. Sounding Lovely! conjures a euphoric glow with its ethereal vocal layers and vibrant instrumentation. Elements of jazz, dub and funk are interwoven by multi-instrumentalist Mo Douglas, Mariya May, and tenor saxophonist Peter QB - a fine ceviche of sound. Singer Mariya May serves up rhythmic vocal incantation and mellow flute lines to induce a dreamy nod to exotic locales just beyond recognition. (Bruchman/Burnam/Mineo)

Thomas Mudrick is the real deal: talented, unique of vision, and able to go the distance. Mudrick has certainly got a swelling back catalogue to contend with, and his zany tongue in cheek lyrics are interspersed with more introspective moments that strike a zen balance of goofiness and world-weary wisdom. To suggest that Mudrick refuses to be boxed in to any rote and well-trod genres or categories should be pretty well established at this point for anyone paying attention, but new listener be warned: the musical temperature can change pretty quick ‘round these here parts, so keep yer listening ears on and enjoy the ride.

Portland-based troubadour Tobias Berblinger presents the vinyl reissue of his 2018 album The Luckiest Hippie Alive, releasing on October 6th, 2022.

The Luckiest Hippie Alive delivers a comforting range of country and folk nostalgia, recalling the likes of Gram Parsons, Townes Van Zandt, and Blaze Foley. Opener “My Boots Have Been Drinking” entrances with hazy pedal steel and a swooning vocal duet, setting the album in motion with a sunset-friendly allure.

Twangy, heartfelt introspection and a suave cosmic country drive persist throughout the release. Further energy is conveyed on breezy rock/folk infusions like “Blade of Grass” and the title track, which exudes a playful duet emitting themes of perseverance: “When I’m falling off my horse, there’s another one to carry me.”

In addition to his work as a solo artist, Berblinger plays with other Portland-based artists, performing bass for apocalyptic folk band Roselit Bone and keyboards for singer/songwriter Kassi Valazza. He is also an engineer at Singing Sands Recording Studio, and performs as a live DJ throughout Portland, hosting genre-themed nights such as "Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love," "Death Trip," "Black Acid," and more. Additionally, Berblinger is a professional graphic designer and illustrator.

What in Your Heart Can Put You in a Trance are always apt to lay a sonic foundation that smoothly blurs various elements of dub, classic r&b, folk, and psych. Filled with lush melodies, lyrical secret gardens, and achingly emotive forays, What in Your Heart Can Put You in a Trance know well the answer to the question posed by their lengthy namesake, though they’d prefer you take a listen and decide for yourself, rather than just give away the ending.

The band utilizes sub-folk soundscapes, 70's style dub and reggae, classic soul and pop perforated with a nearly gossamer, old world fragility, though dosed with a liberal dollop of paisley fallout and ganja fumigation to taste. (Reed Burnam)
