Ages and Ages’ debut LP, Alright You Restless, was an ambitious, conceptual piece of sing-along, clap-along, stomp-along pop rock that vaulted the band into elite company. That first record pontificated upon the throes of isolation as a form of revolution, elated choral melodies anchoring shimmery guitars and tight rhythmic interludes throughout. The Portland conglomerate’s second album, Divisionary, is a lot of that, too; there are plenty of goosebump-raising hooks and uplifting crescendos to write home about. Their thematic scope, however, involved the excavation of darker inspirations than they’d previously explored as a band. Ages and Ages have undergone lineup changes and lots of peripheral personal battles and have somehow managed to internalize and later deduce how to navigate the avenues of their own lives in triumphant—and insanely memorable—song. In the process, they’ve come out with one of this year’s best all-around albums.—Ryan J. Prado (Paste Magazine)

Portland, OR based guitarist-instructor-singer-songwriter Noah Beck dwells in that umami place of subtle and powerful. He is both disarmingly real and gently empowering. With grande swaths of knowledge and a collection of technical skills that span genres, his panache for blending somehow doesn’t end up as a brown-grey heap, but instead is a colorful balance, a simultaneous immersion into rich planes of many.
Renee Muzquiz’ brisk guitar rhythms and colorful chord progressions set her apart from other singers-songwriters.

Ritchie Young (Loch Lomond) has toured nationally and internationally since 2005, playing his original take on slow pop music. He has the ability to switch from high-pitched fragility to alto thunder in the turn of a phrase, yet he knows the power of restraint intuitively, saving vocal tornadoes for emotional apexes buoyed by string swells and moving arrangements.
