Bar/None Records
Straight outta Hoboken (New Jersey, that is), Bar/None Records serves forth releases that are guaranteed to intrigue even the most jaded of pop music aficionados. While other indie labels tend to explore a certain sound, Bar/None is dedicated to the great pop song -- or rather, songs with the potential to be popular if they could simply get the exposure.

that grab you and just don't let go. This is truly remarkable stuff: full of ludic poetry,
wonderfully strange spidery arrangements, and seductive melodies. Fascinating and
beautiful.

The Mendoza Line
With warm, soporific melodies, the Mendoza Line paints lonesome portraits of youngish couples still not quite sure of their places in the world, loving and hating each other at the same time. This is painfully beautiful stuff.
