Portland, Oregon’s perennially groovy Ten Dollar Recording Company label boasts a swelling roster shot right through with homegrown Cascadian psych, lush neo-soul, organic dub, late-night closet rock, freak-folk, soundscapist collage, and other musical experiments. Always up for a good time, TDRCo is still plowing full steam ahead after over a decade's worth of kaleidoscopic releases, with not a single damn given about what's currently hot or in season on the charts. And with so much variety and talent on their bench, there's almost definitely something here for anyone with ears enough to hear.

Featuring a close-knit roster of independent artists who deftly swap instruments, genres, and headspaces, the TDRCo crew keeps on keeping on, shining on their own crazy diamonds through a hip deep blur of well executed, homemade funk, soul, and psychedelia that manages to keep itself firmly in the garage rather than polishing the goods until they no longer shine. This is the real deal, y'all, go ahead and get you some of it. (Reed Burnam)
