The Go Rounds are a strange phenomenon. A blue-collar band with true upper-echelon accolades. A cultural staple in their home range, but still yet to be tracked by the larger limelight. After all, they’re a band that used to co-bill with Billy Strings, a band who’s headlined the Mazunte International Jazz festival, and a band whose recordings have featured in various major formats such as Warren Miller’s “Here, There and Everywhere”, and as cue music for NPR.
If you've heard their brilliant albums or seen one of their mind-bending live shows, chances are you are either from Michigan, or Mexico City, where they have built an unexpected cult following. Their music sounds like nothing else out there. With first class musicianship and tireless creativity they push the boundaries of indie, reaching a place in which psych-pop, americana and twang-rock come together in one beautiful controlled explosion.
The Go Rounds have gained a reputation as a Band’s Band and have created a living legacy over their 15 year performance and production history.
Elisabeth Pixley-Fink: Inspired by a masterful blend of riot grrrl, ambient stillness, and the work of queer Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca, Heartskin is twelve songs of a heart shedding its own skin. Heartskin’s complexity and range is unified by Pixley-Fink’s powerhouse vocals and distinct songwriting voice. Heartskin was recorded directly onto tape in Detroit, produced by John Hanson (Saltbreaker, Yimes, Izzy Johnson), mixed by Tim Carr (Perfume Genius, Hand Habits) and mastered by Timothy Stollenwerk (Haley Heyndericks, Damien Jurado). Elisabeth Pixley-Fink is a Michigan-based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and band leader. Her emotion-focused folk and bratty garage rock hits you in the chest with guts, trust and hunger.
“A campfire personality. You see her perform and you can’t turn away…you just stay there observing the fire, hypnotized.” -Luis Alberto González Arenas, rip.mx
“Lizzy’s depth of spirit comes through so clearly in her voice and in her songs. Every time I hear her dig in, I feel moved - this album is full of that digging.” - Theo Katzman, vulfpeck
