The sound of underground Portland. After the clubs let out and the normal kids stumble home, another wave swells toward dawn. Outside of basements, behind storefronts and tucked back into warehouses, Subarus stuffed with sequencers and drum machines park in dark alleys and synths and bake sale tables are turned awkwardly to fit up worn staircases under weary eyed welcoming red light. This compilation is an attempt to document the soundtrack of a handful of these mornings. You likely already know Gulls, Golden Donna and Etbonz from the record bins. And Fans of Bed of Roses and Champ Discs will recognize Krycek, Wav Fuzz and Natural Magic from 12” releases over the last few years. We hope this collaboration puts those artists and a few new names such as 2TABS (coast2c & Michael Bruce) into some sort of new physical context outside of sticky concrete floors, crammed, rainy smoking areas and overly doe-eyed conversations about an anticipated 7am bloody mary.

All proceeds from this compilation will go to our dear friend and Ghost Ship survivor Joel Shanahan.
