Weather Pending on NPR - Listen...

San Francisco trio Weather Pending joins reapandsow with their debut album, And How!, releasing on June 23. The band's electronic grooves and the smoky vocals of Janie Oliver draw you in, enticing you with their understated charm. Bass player and producer Rob Cross accompanies Oliver's lumious vocals with the dark, melancholy rhythms of hip hop and dub reggae, profound tones that swirl and dance with the force of a restless ocean while guitarist Brian Bloi's chords color with shimmering overtones that emote with aching melodies. The album's ten songs have a cinematic, one drop, hip hop flavor driven by the subliminal swing enhanced by guest drummers Max MacVeety (Crown City Rockers, Zion I) and Derek G. Taylor (Nino Moschella, Alice Russell, Hyim, Park, Daronda).

We are very excited that the "ultimate tastemaker" in music, KCRW's Nic Harcourt played track two from And How! "Her Thoughts To Me".

Also, NPR's All Things Considered had And How! track one "Complicated Two" playing in the background on its show recently.
