KEEPERS RECORDS CLUB
keepersrecordclub.com
Keepers Records Club is a monthly subscription record club for record enthusiasts where musicians act as curator, selecting a record they love and writing their own liner notes on the album's personal impact.
The latest Keepers Record (for the month of May) will be Bruce Longhorne’s 1971 Peter Fonda film, The Hired Hand... as presented by James Toth of Wooden Wand.
Toth explained his selection, “The Hired Hand not only evokes but exhumes. It’s part genie in bottle, part séance. It’s an album you shouldn’t play often, though anyone who has been charmed by it knows that this is not possible.”
Keepers founder Matt DeCamp explained why this is an important project:

Keepers founder Matt DeCamp explained why this is an important project:
Our goal with Keepers is to give musicians a platform to endorse the records they love and help you build an eclectic record collection in the process.
Keepers began out of a desire to find out about the music that inspires the musicians. What are the staples of their collection? What record changed their life? What are they listening to right now? Keepers provides a platform for musicians to tell the world all about their favorite records, get those records in the hands of the curious and turn some new listeners on in the process.”

Los Angeles’ experimental pop act Tiny Hands (aka Jacob Masters) just released his debut single “Wherever U R” and EP (simply titled EP), produced in tandem with producers Sean Eads and Alix Masters.
Here’s how they describe the band:
Tiny Hands is an act based out of Los Angeles. It is the brainchild of Jacob Masters, who has been writing and performing music since he had even smaller hands. The Tiny Hands sound focuses on combining dense digital arrangements with direct songwriter sensibilities. The TH sound is garnished with select instances of tiny toy instruments that bring the artists name to life. All of these factors have drawn from influences ranging from Brian Wilson to 808 and Heartbreak, adding up to sound that is cinematic in scope.
